Default Re: SNAP4500 Not Booting - Begging for some help!

Normally these units are rock solid and have very few issues. When I got mine I did extensive testing to see how they handled power loss. What I found was I could not get it to fail doing writes and read by pulling the power in the middle of the task. But you need to be running snapshots for the unit to self repair.

Now it's possiable that the surge/outage may have done some hardware damage. I would have your other office send you a working drive and see if it will boot. At least get you into the recovery console.

But what ever you do you need to run a UPS unit that are capable of shutting hardware down to cover power outages. No computer likes to loose its power, prefer to be shutdown properly.
