2000 lost disk access
Well it's not that simple.
I upgraded to version 4 (from 3) and all was OK on the version 2 2000. I opened it up and replaced the battery, put in new WD drives (160s) and the power and link lights stay on steady, the net light flashes, but no disk light. I can't find the 2000 either in my DHCP status on the router or in Assist. I tried putting the original 40 gig drives back but the story is the same. I tried with no drives, nada. I can't reset the server either, the lights stay on. The CPU fan works, as does the power fan. The drives start running and the indicator lights come on for a few seconds. Any thoughts on where to go from here? |

Re: 2000 lost disk access
Did you install the battery upside down? Must be good before the snap will boot.
On the new HD's did you set the jumper correctly ??? Try doing a factory reset. Then use assist to setup. The OS is stored in flashram. On newley installed HD's it takes ~10 min before you can access the admin interface. Try doing a quick format of the 160's before re-installing.

Re: 2000 lost disk access
Thanks for the thoughts.
Battery is in correctly and checks out for proper voltage. I even tweaked he contacts. I tried the WD's at CS, single master and nothing came up for 20 minutes each time. Other drive changes I've done on the 2000 showed disk activity. I put the old drives in and still the same. The unit will not reset by the button. This is the first time I've done a battery replacement. I'll be surprised if I fried somthing because I've done 5 of these 2000's so far, including a 4 drive raid 5. Is there another reset that I'm missing? |

Re: 2000 lost disk access
It was the ram.
I had a stick from a 2000 that I changed to a 4000 and bingo. Drive lights, reset, it all works. If your power and link light stay on steady but the drive lights don't work, check the ram. I love these things. |
