Alypse Posted April 15, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 15, 2014 Hi there! I'm sure a number of you guys have experience running DSM on a microserver, so I wanted to hear your procedure for boot. Whenever my system has powered down, I've had trouble getting it to boot back into DSM. Do you set your system to boot from USB with the drive plugged in? When I've done that in the past it just wants to install. If I set to boot from a drive, I get a flashing cursor on black screen. Please let me know where I'm going wrong with this!

andywhit Posted April 15, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 15, 2014 I've got a boot USB stick installed in the microserver (on the motherboard USB header) and it boots from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK thanks for the reply! Do you know if you have USB boot priority set to high in the BIOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if you have USB boot priority set to high in the BIOS? I think it's at the default settings, don't know if the SHR formatted HDDs are bootable anyway.
