Re: My 4500 doesn't respond to the power control switch
Hello again LarryInCa;
The link doesn't fit your problem. MAYBE it could be as simple as a power button. One way of testing the power supply is to remove 2-4 drives(keep track of where they were) and try to power up the unit with one drive. If you have it in a RAID it will bring up the recovery console via the webgui. Starting up a RAID without 3 drive not being in the server MAY cause a problem with your data on the drives and the RAID.
So do this at your own risk.
I hope you have your data backed up.

I was poking around in the overland support area, and came across a FAQ about the power button not working to power the machine down, but nothing about powering it up.

Could it be something as simple as a bad power switch? If so, can I just short out a couple of pins somewhere to simulate the button being pressed? |
