Save the BIOS settings and when system boots up again press F12 to select the boot device.Д«onus pack, if you want to have a GUI.

ItвЂ™s located under the Advanced BIOS settings.

Press the DEL key to enter the BIOS and disable the option to suppress the boot selection.

Connect the keyboard to any other USB port.

This is the only USB port that will work when booting up from an external disk.

Connect the USB storage device where you have copied the CentOS installation files to the BOTTOM USB IN THE REAR PART.

Backup all the data you want to keep from the installed hard disks (the process will delete it!).

The installation is pretty simple, although there are few tricky steps to take into account:

These servers do not come with a built-in video port, so you will need to install one (you can either build it yourself or buy it from eBay). Ubuntu could also serve this purpose but I still preferred CentOS since it comes with the minimum basic packages and allows you to keep growing it per your needs instead of shipping lot of features you donвЂ™t really need. I have chosen this Linux distribution because this is the one IвЂ™m most used to (itвЂ™s extensively used in corporate environments). I then decided it may be a good time to parkВ the built-in Windows Home Server and switch to CentOS. Unfortunately HP decided to stop supporting these devices which means not getting any updates or fixes.

Just a note that I can see it 'trying'ДЄll of the above leads me to believe there is an issue on whatever driver package uraid is using for the SIS 191.I have been using the HP MediaSmart EX470 home server for few years and it was quite a nice experience. When I copy and reformat the command and refire it in the console I get, 'Oh noes! something doesn't seem right here' But I think this is due to the structure of the command I am sending back. *As a side note, in Terminal I can see a curl process with an activation key, that process seems to be hung. I've also manually deleted the Trial.keyВ file and attempt to create a 'fresh' key after reboots a couple of times. (Firing the dateВ command in the console presents the correct time/date also.) It still claims it can not connect to activate the key.

Unraid reports the correct time as does the BIOS. Even created a localВ NTP server with-in the network.

For the Trial Key issue, I've triple checked the bios clock and even changed its battery. PXE or Legacy.) And flatten the BIOSВ to its defaults 3~4 times thinking that something was enabled or disabled causing the issue. Checked the BIOS for any weird or non-standard options for the NIC (i.e.

I've reinstalled Windows Server 2012 & 2016 and both installs connects and reports full gigabit speeds on both ends (machine & switch and I've done a couple local machine-to-machine test and local-to-wan test. I've reimaged two different USB Keys with unraid 6.8.1 & 6.8.2 (4 times each). So this seems like a driver issue of some kind with-in unraid for that specific chipset. This machine (HP EX475) had Windows Server 2012 running on it for many years and its currently connected the same exact way.

software updates or plugins) it timeouts. It can ping its local subnet, other machines on the same subnet can ping it, it can ping its gateway and various WAN sites. *I've also tried two other switches (MikrotikВ CRS112-8G-4S-IN & a crappy Netgear 8 port switch.)

The other issue is network inconsistency, Thou I can hit the UI via HTTP, It has trouble registering and activation the trial key and downloading additionalВ plugins/packages. The strange thing is via the UI in unraid is shows the link speed is only 10/100. The switch its connected toВ (Cisco C2970) claims the connection is gigabit. Thou aВ NIC isВ detected, but only connects atВ 10/100 mbit vs. In the latest build of unraid (6.8.2), I am having issues with the SIS 191.
