hey guys, I recently upgraded my X510 with a E8400, and thought it would make a great XPENOLOGY server, as it has been long retired with WHS.

Having a boot issue, and I see a few others in the forums had the same error.

If I remove the first HDD and power on, wait till the LEDs go through blinking red and then put the drive back in when it starts flashing blue/white, all is good, XPENOLOGY boots and everythign works well. If I dont pull the first drive it will try to boot from HDD and locks up.

If I buy the VGA/keyboard/Mouse adapter, can i set the BIOS to boot USB first (and only)? I think this would be my only option, else I have and machine that needs to be accessible after power outs, reboots etc.

I would have to say yes, the vga and the jumper to unlock the bios should allow you to change the boot order.
Good luck
