Hi All,
I did nothing special to my installation, just followed the instruction video from Jadehawk.
At first startup I put the USB with Xpenology Jun's 1.03b, at the back in the lower USB port.
And two clean disks at bay 1 and 2.
My disks are a WD blue in bay 1 and a WD green in bay 2, both 500 GB.
I was only experimenting with Xpenology and the HP EX490.
Booted my EX490, installed DSM 6.2-23739 and it worked!
I have booted several times with no problem at all.
Did an upgrade to 6.2.3-25426 with a completly new install.
My EX490 runs from 2-2-2021 till now.....
So what I will do next is try to upgrade the CPU, from the original Intel 450 Celeron, to a Intel CoreDuo E8400.
And off course I like to upgrade the RAM from 2 GB PC2-6400U 2Rx8 to a 4GB.
The CPU I have already, now still searching for a 4GB PC2-6400U 2Rx8
When I have the next step on my HP EX 490, I will post i here.
(And also building another server with an old PC, It has an ASrock A75M-HVS mobo, AMD A4-3300 APU 2500 MHz cpu, 8GB ram and 5 WD RED 3TB, and runs smoothly )
