Hi all !

I am a noob in the Snap Server area so please bear with me. I am rather desperate at the moment. Ok here it goes:

I recently aquired 2 snap server 2200 with 160GB each (2x80GB HDD) from Ebay.
They power on successfully, and shut down correctly, as far as i can tell anyway.
Now the problem is, even after resetting them to factory defaults (followed the procedure in the Admin Guide and it seemed to work as intended) i am unable to find any of the servers with the Snap Assist tool. I tried 3 different versions of it, no luck. I even tried to set up my router as DHCP for automatical IP assignment, but even that did not turn up any result.
I do not know what snap OS the servers are currently running on. From the sound of it, the drivers do power up and from what i can tell, the server does not show any problems. System lamp is blinking about once a second, the link lamp is glowing constantly and once in a while the Net lamp is blinking.

Calling Adaptec Support proved to be very enteraining, since they asked for my credid card after it was determined that the TSID was over the support due.

Anyone has any idea on how to connect to the servers ? Or did i buy some very expensive door stoppers (would seriously lower my selfesteem) ?

Please help a desperate noob !

Best regards to all

Tec
