Default Re: Snap 2200 With 4 Drives

Where everyone gets in trouble is when you change the bios flag it triggers a auto reboot. Then if it doesn't see the proper hardware it gets locked in to the death loop.

The snap OS only supports RAID 0, 1, 5. the 4x00 only has raid 5.

My 300 gig Seagates (7200.9) have been trouble free since I installed them.

IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT, YOUR ON YOUR OWN.

NOT RESPONSIABLE FOR THE RESULTS.

First you need to disable auto reboot.

I have not down this but the cmd shold be like "bios flag -auto"

To make and change in the bios section perminate you have to "bios unlock" make chages then "bios lock"

You will be change "bios model" I believe the 2 drive is "0" where 4 drive is "2"???
just issue bios model and it will give you the options.

The 4000 drives config were different between versions. 002 were M/S (40 cond) and 003 were CS (80 cond).
