  1. Hi @billat29 thanks again. Yes I’m going for a fresh install. All my data is copied to other devices/drives. My plan is an as new v1.03b, DS3615xs and 6.2.3 installation. I’ll trial it with some dummy data for a week or so for stability. And make sure I can get all the services and software I need working. If I’m happy I’ll copy the data across. @Dfdsthanks - really useful. I think I’ll upgrade the bios whilst I’m under the hood as one day I may stick a 5th drive in.
  2. Got a hold of a VGA monitor. Disabled C1E. With v1.02 loader. Syno Assistant finds it. Is there any advantage of using 6.17 over 6.23, I read this but may be out of date: If 6.23 is now equally 'bullet-proof' I will go with v1.03 loader and DSM_DS3615xs_25426.pat. Beer may have been the problem - on the first day I tried for hours. And at the end of the night I realised I had the VID and PID the wrong way round - had to retry everything. Pain!
  3. Thanks @Orphée, I will check the forums. I have a friend who has an old VGA monitor which I should receive in a few days. I will try again then. For now I'll revert to my functioning DSM 5 and rest, I've been trying to make this work for days, numerous USB sticks, loaders, formatting USB flash drives... 😣 EDIT @billat29 - unfortunately no luck with v1.01 - Syno Assistant doesn't find anything (and router doesn't see the box).
  4. @billat29 thank you (I have read lots of your other posts about HP MicroServers and they have been really helpful). I will try v1.01 (it's one of the few I haven't tried ). If it fails I will have to try and source a VGA monitor/adaptor disable C1E then go with 1.03b DS3615xs / v1.02b DS3615xs loaders.
  5. Ok thanks, looks like I am stuck on DSM 5.0-4418 as I don't have a compatible monitor/adapter at the moment.
  6. Hi all, I have an N54L (no hardware changes) running Trantor's DSM 5.0-4418. It has been solid for for about 7 years. I want to use software which isn't compatible with that version. So want to upgrade to the latest compatible version - which can be installed headless (I don't have any VGA monitors easily available). I have tried lots of Jun's loaders (inc. some modded ones) - 1.03b DS3615xs, v1.03b DS3617xs, v1.04b DS918+, v1.02b DS3615xs, v1.02b DS3615xs with MBR partition. I have tried booting with a hard drive installed and without. The server never shows in Synology Assistant (on my router it isn't listed as a connected device). The network light on the front of the device does show activity. When I put my DSM 5.0-4418 USB drive and and my 4 hard drives back in it boots up to my old system fine (so I assume USB is set as boot?). Reading on the forums I found this thread (and quite a few others) - https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/33207-hp-microserver-n54l3615xs-complete-rebuild-advice-request/ Key bit: Now as I am running headless I can't connect a keyboard to access the bios and disable C1E. Is there an older version that I can install without disabling C1E? Can that version then be upgraded to one of the later ones? (checking the forum 6.1.7 looks like a good stable version - it does things like hibernate the drives). Thanks.
  7. When I try to mkdir Plex i get the following permission error: Server> mkdir Plex mkdir: can't create directory 'Plex': Permission denied I SSH'd to the the server via Terminal on a Mac using the the default 'admin' user and password that I created during initial DSM setup. I looked into the Users section of the Control Panel in DSM and it appears the 'admin' user is as privileged as can be... New to XPEnology (just got my N54L today), any help appreciated. Thanks.
