Hi

I have a HP EX495 with WHS2011 running for some time. Recently I wanted to add more Memory. After adding the memory, I accidently forgot to put in the drives. I shut down the EX495, placed the drives an powered it on again. But unfortunately the system won’t start. The health LED is flashing blue. If I put the drives in the wrong slots, the health LED is solid red.

How can I recover from this problem, without reinstalling WHS2011?

Thanks Juerg

I am guessing that it wants you to acknowledge the addition of the memory.

Probably not and I may be going down a wrong path but you have changed the amount of memory again and it is throwing an error again.

Did you put the system drive (OS drive) in the bottom slot? That's critical.
