There has been many a Snap Server that have become door stops by change the HW config. Generally it locks in update mode looking for the IP and downloads OS or firmware. With no way to recover from it. Most are done on a 1000 trying to make it work as a 2000, to get RAID.

If you had taken the time to read Hack a Snap 1000, you would had discovered you had to change it back before it rebooted.

Your only hope is multiple resets to factory, with a bootable drive in place. Watch the lights. If you need a document explaining the blinking LED lights let me know.

The Snap 4000, 4100 1000v1, 2000 all store the OS in flashram. The newer models use a standard boot loader.

Good luck.
