2) After pushing the power button, the fans kick on and so do the HD's but the NIC light goes out. And it doesnt seem to do anything after that.
In both cases none of the HD lights kick on at all. But i can hear the HD's spin up and shut off when i remove power.
Any idea what might be wrong or what i am doing wrong?

#1 above is normal when it has had power removed and then power is connected to the power supply.
For the rest, how long are you waiting? The Guardian units do take a while to power up all the way. |
I am a little puzzled as to why you would post this question on the open forum several hours after I answered you in your PM to me and I asked you a question (maybe my answers are not good enough), but I will say it AGAIN...
It is normal for the power LED to blink and NIC LED to be on when the power plug has been removed from a Snap 4400 and then reapplied, or if the server was shut down in an error state (i.e. not powered all the way as one example).
This is normal.
When you press the power button, the fans and hard drives will spin up and the NIC LED will go out. Nor will the HD LEDs come on (or the NIC LED come back on) until a certain point in the boot up process.
This is also normal.
The Snap Server 4400 takes a while to boot up (and even get to some of the points where LEDs start coming on or flashing etc). So the question becomes, as I asked you in PM and you didn't answer, how long are you waiting before shutting it back down? THAT will tell what needs to be looked at next.
Maybe someone else here can add more or give you answers you like better and guide you further in this troubleshooting process.
If you like, contact me in e-mail to make arrangements for a repair/refurbish if you can't get this going yourself or from others here.
