I am powering up my self-assembled NAS for the first time and, of course, it is not working. I am panicking because I cannot return any of the components I am using… 🤯🤯

The absolute first time I powered it up, it stayed on but the HDMI did not output anything, so I brutally unplugged the power (I am starting to regret I did this), and connected a USB with a Proxmox image on it.

Now, every time I plug in the power supply, the NAS powers for one second, than shuts off for two seconds, then it tries to boot again… It goes like this on and on and on…

Any tips to troubleshoot this?

Here are the components I am using:
Case: Jonsbo N3
6× SATA 6 cables
PSU: Chieftec CSN-450C 450W SFX 80 Plus Gold
Topton N18 + Intel N150
2× RAM 16GB DDR5
2× HDD Seagate Ironwolf NAS 10TB
UPS: BlueWalker Power Basic VI 1000 STL

Change of plans, hence change of itinerary.

I arrived in Hamburg with 39°C of fever on the night of the 26th. I spent two days in bed, tenderly fed and cared for by @sirodoht@pan.rent.

Miraculously, I managed to get back on my feet, mask up, and still enjoy the last 1.5 days of #39C3, that were just ✨✨✨✨✨✨

Now, instead of going to Berlin and spend New Year’s + a few days cuddling with @dario@pan.rent, I decided to get straight back to Rotterdam, where I will be resting and introspecting. I want to be fully charged and physically and mentally ready to get back to class on Jan 5 🌻🌻

It’s the coolest thing to introduce myself to people at #39C3 and they say WAIT I know you from the Fediverse!

I love it
