I am curious as to whether there is a way to determine if the motherboard is in fact dead. Also if the motherboard is not dead will putting a FAT32 drive in the server ( I have a 6 gb drive I can try) force it to load the operating system so that I can get a drive to be recognized?
Thanks

You will need to reset the snap back to factory settings if you can not find the servers IP address or if there is a admin password. Login in to the server using "http://snapipaddess". You should should have a welcome screen. The 2000 model snap can setup a harddrive with out any intervention. Set the drive as a master and sees what haapens. If you reset to factory you will need assist to access and set it up the first time.
