FreeNAS is not starting on my FreeNAS Mini XL. Last time the system was active was on a few hours before I had power utility people messing around with the electrical supply to my house. I suspect that something was damaged. I am looking for ideas / suggestions to help complete a proper diagnosis.
Here are the symptoms:
1. When switched on, the machine makes all the right noises and the LEDs on the front panel and installed disks come on - so the power supply appears ok.
2. I can see & log into the ASRock Rack management facility via a browser on another PC. Unfortunately I can not see anything that points to an underlying problem.
2a. The Dashboard shows all sensors green, but not all values are available. I don't know enough about the hardware to know if the absence of values is significant.
2b. The "Location LED Status" on the Dashboard is flashing red. Again, I do not know if that is relevant / significant. The fact that I can log into the "ASRock Rack" utility tells me that there is some minimal functionality and the server is connected to my network.
3. If I attach a VGA monitor to the FreeNAS Mini XL, the monitor claims that there is no signal and goes to sleep. I've tried this with more than one cable in case there is a cable fault. Rebooting the server with the monitor attached does not show information on screen.
Any suggestions on getting to a complete diagnosis will be appreciated.
