I was more concerned about the configuration of the server software itself. I'm guessing after your reply it has about a 10% chance of working. Still curious if it would have worked in this instance though.
Really appreciate your response on that avenue, which probably would have fried everything beyond repair. Thanks for confirming what I suspected could happen. I know both systems were RAID 5, and both were using Intel RAID. I thought it might be hit or miss on that approach. I'm definitely not the only one who's made this brain-dead mistake. Seems to me Western Digital should have this solution in their database of solutions for problems like this.

Then again, they sent me a link to install a certificate to fix the issue. Pretty sure I can get a monitor and backup interface working on the device for future issues, even though the guys from India tell me it won't work. I can see the failed hardware install I tried earlier in the device manager looking for a driver. You can bet your arse I will be physically installing a USB-VGA adapter, along with a USB-Ethernet adapter. It took a few tries I suppose and a slightly different set of clicks, but it was the key.Ĭtrl-alt-del -> password+enter -> crtl-esc -> view network connections+enter -> 4 tabs > 3 right arrows ->Shift-F10-> 1 down arrow -> enter I was able to get in using blind keyboard commands which I first saw through the link provided by Not sure how yet, but it might give me access to the entire array. Not sure if this would give me access to the directories or not, but if it did, I might be able to manually correct the problem. Pull out the 4 raid disk, and pop them into another server which has an active 4 disk raid. I can rebuild it, but it would sure be easier to regain control. Or, does anyone know of a USB-RJ45 network adapter that would automatically install?

Short of doing a full system recovery, which rebuilds the entire 4-disk RAID while reinstalling the OS, can anyone think of a way to re-enable the bridge, or access the unit by some other means to get a network going again? I'm assuming the OS is looking for a driver, which I can't install blind.Īlthough I'm not positive, but it does appear that a keyboard does work when plugged into the USB port. I've tried to add 2 different USB-RJ45 adapters with no success. I've tried adding a USB-VGA adapter with a keyboard. The problem is, the only way to access the unit is through a network, which is basically disabled on the device. The unit is running Windows Storage Server 2008 R2, or something like that. The bridge links the built-in dual NIC's. I disabled my bridged network adapter while in RDP. I have a perfectly good DX4000, and I made a bonehead error.
