Any recommendations? My apollo 2 node when I swtich it on is stuck in the boots phase and the loud fan wont stop and i can't connect to it via ip address. i had to shut off the unit because we had an electrician come to the house.
THat happened to me. What I did was remove the shipping tape on the microsd card and click the card out and back in first. IF that doesn't work you may need to reflash the microsd card from the futurebit instructions. That is always a good idea to make sure the memory card is freshly programmed. Even if the apollo boots up I think sometimes the memory in the flash is corrupted and a fresh reflash is a good move. also get a backup microsd card and flash that one in case you need to swap out. I also got a second 1TB memory stick, high performance, and use it to backup the blockchain after downloading so if any corruption in that memory happens, I can format the attached 1TB and copy the backup onto it to save download time. I also have my unit laying sideways with HDMI port up so there is better airflow and fan runs slower/ cooler. plus many more blinking lights to look at from the bottom. And I figured out the red light on the bottom means the memory card is active and shouldn't be removed.
