Re: Snap Server 4000 that thinks it's a 2000
Do you have record of what the bios version was prior to the change. I'm thinking the bios should be 2.0.282 . The 2.0.252 ties the platformbytes (2.0.0) to a 2000.
I really don't know where to start. Since most all of the settings were lost.
Since the SN is tied to the model no, lets see if the cmos can be changed.
bios unlock
check bios cmos serial-no
bios cmos serial-no (serial no/default/hex4th-hex5th-hex6th chars of ethernet addr)
bios lock
check bios cmos serial-no
bios unlock
bios platformbytes 2 0 1
bios lock
then check to see if it took, "bios platformbytes"
bios unlock
bios model 2
bios lock
if incorrect try to change the order, knowing that changing the model forces a reboot.
What were you doing that caused everything to get scrambled? OS update?
I know the model numbers are tied to the Serial No. So you may be required to change the bios cmos first.
The good news is that is is still booting (uses same hex code). Was not the case with the my 1000.
