waspsoton Posted July 21, 2014 #1 Posted July 21, 2014 my server keeps turning it self off and i am not sure why?? all i can find is the machine says improper shutdown. any help would be great.
bottman Posted July 22, 2014 #2 Posted July 22, 2014 I could thank dirty power initally for that... luckily it was something to do with the underground line coming into my home when it rained heavily. Couple of phone calls to utility company and a fresh ground at the street it was never a problem (added an APC SMT1500 for GP) How hot does your unit run? Have you exceeded your power supply? Does it auto-turn back on or are you having to turn it back on? Trying to identify power or hardware! It could be cooking itself, breaching thresholds and shutting itself down.
Schnapps Posted July 22, 2014 #3 Posted July 22, 2014 my server keeps turning it self off and i am not sure why?? all i can find is the machine says improper shutdown. any help would be great. Try to setup in bios "last power or always on" state in power management. This will automatically start your nas after a power drop as this seems to be the issue. You could borrow an ups from a friend just for testing. Anyhow, for a nas, an ups is a must. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
berwhale Posted July 22, 2014 #4 Posted July 22, 2014 Yepp, a UPS is essential. I have one of these, it's automatically recognized by DSM and works well... http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002RXED6A/r ... 71_TE_item That reminds me, I must set up the software to shutdown my 2nd server as well
stanza Posted July 23, 2014 #5 Posted July 23, 2014 check your logs, unit will shutdown when HDD's get too hot........do you have adequate cooling for the HDD's? .
