Next Try.

I've got another Snap Server 520 with a newer BIOS ADAPT110 (The others have BIOS ADAPT108).

Now the following test: I boot the Snap Server 520 with only 1 drive 250G and OS 4.4.049 SP3 installed.
After booting I put in a 1000 drive from a well running Snap Server 210 into slot 3 - The 250 Gig drive stays in slot1.

I Install a Raid System on the 1000g drive, a Vol and a Share. Now I can copy fast and well as many files on the 1000 drive as I will.

BUT, if I shutdown the Server and reboot it doesnt start again. The display says:
1 CPU 2.2G 512MB - BIOS V1.10

Nothing more.
There is a programmed stop, coming from the BIOS ore coming from the CMOS I think.

I have no idea how to put on a monitor und keyboard.

Has anyone a idea what can we try?

If Overland Storage sells Snap Servers with 4x1000 Gig drives there must be a solution.

Is anyone so kind to phone to www dot snapserveronline dot com phone 1-877-487-8273 to ask the possibility to put in 4x1000gb drives into a 4x512 Snap Server ..

I'm from Germany ..

Last sentence: The snap Server 510/520 are booting well from 750Gig drives ..
But I like to use them with 1000/1500/2000 drives. WOW!!
