Since it’s a hidden partition you need to unhide it. Next, you need the boot software from the hidden partition on the EX470/5.
For simplicity, follow this link to format the thumb drive. 2 GB stick, but you can start with a 256MB stick, use whatever costs less. So you will have to test the thumb drive, more on this later. This is important to know because you might have done everything right and it still doesn’t work.

The software you will need can be found on the EX470 hidden flash, the EX470/5 Server Recovery Disk, the EX490/5 Server Recovery Disk and the EX490/5 network drivers from Realtek’s website.įirst off, not all USB thumb drives are equal.

So I’ll show how to create a bootable USB thumb drive to use on your EX490/5 so that you can restore your server pretty much just like it’s done on the EX470/5. If you have a EX470/5 and a EX490/5 then you already have most of what you need. I’m not happy about that because it was easier on the EX470/5 and I was spoiled. All this without a VGA connection on your server. Then you must have the correct timing to press the reset pin. You also have to turn off your firewall and anti-virus software. Now you must have a direct connection between your server and the PC that will run the Server Recovery DVD. However I find that removing the internal 256 MB flash is a mistake. The HP EX490/5 so far has been HP’s best home servers yet. Everything has been improved, right, WRONG. Ok, so you love your EX470/5 but you want to move on to the new EX490/5, it’s time. Join me in the forums where we can discuss it.
HP MEDIASMART SERVER EX470 DEBUG BOARD UPDATE
I’ll update this blog post as things develop. I’m hoping to find a straight thru design. Next I will have to build a cable to connect the two. I have to purchase a minimum number of PCB’s to place an order so I’ll end up with extras. I plan on making the PCB parts template and PCB design available for '>download. I’ll be using ExpressPCB to design the printed circuit board. What’s nice is that the Acer home server are built using the same internal connector, so this PCB will work on those boxes also.ĬONN HOUSING PHD 26POS 2MM DUAL, CONN HD15 FEMALE OVER DUAL PS/2ĬONN HEADER PHD TOP 26POS 2MM, CONN TERM PHD CRIMP 22-26AWG TIN So I figured I’ll try and build a printed circuit board to make this process more bearable. But with the recent changes to the EX49x boxes, reinstalling the server software has become more difficult and is a shot in the dark process. HP has come out with their 3rd generation home servers, the EX49x and I know Microsoft prefers WHS boxes to be headless. I’m looking at starting a project on building a VGA/PS2 interface for the HP MediaSmart and the Acer H340 EasyStore servers.
