Default Re: 4500 no display from vga port

You can go into the BIOS setup and make sure the VGA is not turned off. Remember the display in on active before the GOS starts to load. Once it get that far the Watchdog is turned off, and the the GOS has full control. From what you have told me the unit is working you just have not found in on your network. The Snap Service Manager should be able to locate it. If your router has mapping capabilities, use it's MAC address to an IP you want. And try to find it. Or switch to hub and give it a try. On mine the first time i had to setup a network with the 10.10.10.x subnet to gain access.

Make sure you are using nic2. This is the fallover if it does not get a dhcp server if static. And make sure your not MAC filtering to keep it off.

Mine take roughtly 5 min for it to boot. Once up you have the same hearbeat as the SnapOS along with nic and power. All disk are led's are green.
