jthoeny Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwills Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Can you connect a monitor to the system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthoeny Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 No unfortunately not, i would had to buy or create a special cable for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwills Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I am guessing that it wants you to acknowledge the addition of the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthoeny Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 I had put back in the old memory - no luck :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthoeny Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 I will take all disks to the office tomorrow and do a checkdisk, maybe it helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwills Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Smartepants Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Did you put the system drive (OS drive) in the bottom slot? That's critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthoeny Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 It was a bad disk :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 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. Yep. Once it things there's been a hardware change, it will forever bug you about it until you acknowledge it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
