Hi!
Not sure if this is the right forum, but please move if that is not the case.
I have a HP MicroServer Gen8 which I would like to use as off site backup from my main Unraid box. I’m having trouble with getting the box to boot from usb and sd card is not an option for unraid. I’ve tried OpenMediaVault and installed it to the sd card. Installation is fine, but then it doesn’t boot again. I’d prefer Unraid anyway.
My question is, if anyone knows if I can find a motherboard that fits the HP’s one (20x22cm) or if I can fit a smaller size (like ITX), would the case/PSU etc work? I can add an HBA to handle the drives. I understand that I need to get new ram and cpu. I have an i3 lying around here somewhere that I can use.
Sorry for the ramblings..
