Snap Server 4500 not detecting all drives
 
Hi all,

I have recently acquired a 4500 on ebay, but when it boots up it only detects the Primary Master and Seconder Master drives (2 out of 4 drives). I have checked in the BIOS and all ports have been enabled. I can also confirm all drives are set tot cable select.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Hi,

I also have the same issue.
But I can either have both the masters available (through HD CS setting)
OR I can have both Slaves available (through HD Slave setting)

Unable to have both Masters and Slaves.

I have tried all drives with jumpers set for CS.
All with no jumpers !
Two with Slave and two with master !

Can anyone tell me which slots are specifically master/slave ??

Are we supposed to have these all set as CS, or no jumpers.

Any help would be appreciated.

On 4500 all HD should be set to master or single drive.

Thanks blue, I shall have a try and let you guys know.

Also on a different note, has anyone managed to create an "image" of GuardianOS? I would like to see what it is like, before I attempt to install Windows Server or any other OS.

Many thanks!

No luck with setting all to Master/Single. Any other ideas?

I have tried loads of combinations, none successful.... yet.

Have you tried different slides. Put a working sled/drive in one that is not working and see what happens.

How are you testing the unit without a OS loaded HD?

Use a Linux/unix os to see if it detects the hardware, they do not rely on the bios.

Working fine now. Although the BIOS doesn't detect the third and fourth drive, they are detected by the OS. I managed to install Windows 2003 Server and created a RAID5 drive without any problems. Would have been nice I suppose if I had a copy of the GuardianOS which was made for these units......
