TL;DR Jump to the last paragraph.

 

To start off I would like to introduce myself. My name is Matt. I am a carpenter not a tech guru. I built my system in 2014, I continued to read the forums until 2016, and my last update on unraid was in 2017. Fast forward to today, I updated unraid OS to 6.5.3 and all of my plugins to are up to date. I do have Community Applications and Fix Common Problems installed, along with other various plugins.

I built my server for the sole purpose of storing my collection of movies and tv series. I have two Raspberry Pi 2's and a desktop computer that I use to play my media in three separate locations in my house. In the past I have tried various methods to sync the data across all three systems, but I have never been able to make it work. My goal is to create a VM to run Kodi, Libreelec, or some other variant on my unraid system. Once I get that working, I plan to use a HDMI splitter to run to my TVs and projector.

I bought one of the  Natex, S2600CP w/ dual E5-2670 a year or two ago, but didn't install it into my server until this week. I am getting a 1-5-4-4 beep code  "This beep sequence indicates a power fault or failure". Everything will power up and boot into UnRaid, UNTIL I plug power into even one hard drive. I updated from a corsair 650w power supply to a Seasonic FOCUS Plus Series SSR-750FX but that didn't help. I'm at a loss as to where to go from here, and any suggestions are welcome.

Hi Matt,

 

Are your drives connected directly to Mobo or via card? I'm wondering if it might be a movie controller issue.

Do you have same issue with SSD and spinner?

Shouldn't be needed, but do you have access to a larger psu?

Any strange bios settings?

 

As for the rest, unRAID is awesome, yes! I'd recommend you look into Plex on a docker. SpaceInvader1 and Byte My Bits have great b YouTube info. I love the ability to sync to phone for offline viewing, web browser access, etc.

 

Cheers,

Kermit
