Tried without the server drives hooked up and got the same results, the system just shut itself down. I have the PS from the other DA which I will try. I have an external case with it's own PS which will accommodate 2 drives and I will look for another to house the other 2 drives before I hook those back up if swapping the PS does the trick. > There's a reason our server room sounds like a wind tunnel.
