True Nas Blank Boot

[tech newbie]

Hi, I have installed true nas onto a thinkcenter m92p computer with 3tb of storage. I have installed true nas and have had no issues. I just restarted the nas and when it turned on all that came up was a blank screen. when i try to type i can hear the computer make clicking sounds but there is no result on the screen. If anyone could help me It would be greatly apreciated.

This sounds as if you might not be booting from the correct device. Make sure you are booting from the correct device, if this isnt the case id estimate you have a failed boot device.

Ive checked the bios settings and the boot order boots with the drive that i installed true nas on

Is this a USB disk?

 

[tech newbie]

I used a usb drive for the instalation but installed it onto a ssd

Im not terribly sure then, I still suspect something is wrong with that disk. Id try to SMART test it using a linux live USB disk.

Im a total newbie so i don't know what that is

Id suggest doing some clever Google work.

"Hey google what is a smart test for hard drives?"

How am i supposed to do the test if i don't have any os on the pc?

If you're not even getting h/w startup messages, you need to address this first. If you remove the SSD, does the PC start to boot normally?

Thank you, I just swapped the ssds over and now it works perfectly.
Thanks for your help
