Dear all,
one of our customers had the problem, that his server did not boot correctly and ended up in a black screen. We compared the BIOS Settings and found a failure that is not comprehensible.
The standard Boot Order of the PB Media Servers is the following:
1st Boot Device: SATA 0;HL-DT-ST DVD (this name can vary when the DVD Rom Device changed)
2nd Boot Device: 3Ware Storage Controller
3rd Boot Device: IBA GE Slot 0400 (for the Network Card)
There are two more settings for the Boot Devices:
Boot Option Retry: Disabled
USB Boot Priority: Disabled
In the BIOS of the customers server the third Boot Device was disabled. When enabled the server booted up normally. This is a bit mysterious..
Best regards,
Julia
