If there are no marking on the unit and have the traditional shape..then it is a Snap1000. And the very small 13GB HHD size might indicate it is a Snap1000 version 1. Only way to test this is slap a HHD in the unit and see if it formats it and if it does then it is. Another way to find out if it is a version 1 is to take out the drive and see if you have access to the WebGUI. If you do then it is a version 1 model. In that case, the upgrade should be as ease as just replacing the hard drive. If it isn't, then you will have to follow the directions here and image the SnapOS on to the hard drive.
SnapOSv3.4.805 and above will handle anything over the 137GB.
The SnapOS construction is limited to a total of 1.2TB , but they don't make PATA/IDE/EIDE that size. The largest drive is 750GB. You can use an adapter for a SATA drive. Just make sure you get the correct adapter.
SnapOS_34807 is the correct file ... you will need to use Asisst to update/upgrade the SnapOS.

I assume that is a SnapServer 1000. Right?
It seems to have a 13 GB drive in it. It says it is
Software 2.2.393
Hardware 3.1.1
Bios 2.1.363
If this is actually a 1000 assume this is the one that automatically preps a new hdd, right?
I found this
http://wiki.procooling.com/index.php...Drive_Upgrades
Which talks about various models. It seems one person posted they got a 320 GB running, but they didn't talk about what they had to do.
If so it is possible to get this past 137 gb by upgrading the software on it somehow. Can I go 500 GB without trouble? How about one TB?
Is there a writup about that? I read the wiki and I didn't find a procedure. Can someone point me to the procedure? Maybe I have to use the assist program?
I have a snap_sys.sup file in a folder SnapOS_34807
Is that the correct file?
Thanks in advance! |
