Replacing drives in blown up Dell MD1200

TrueNAS General

I have a dell510r with MD1200. My MD1200 has no Power even after I replaced both power supplies so I believe the board blew up. I have bought another MD1200 to replace my present md1200

Can I just replace the drives in the same order they are now in the new MD1200 and have it be recognized by the dell510?

Probably.

TrueNAS doesn’t care about drive order for pools (or even interface, as long as it exposes full drives)

Your BIOS will care about which drive is the boot drive.

Thanks for the info. I thought it would be the case because but I wanted to ask to make sure.

I confirm that I just had to put the drives in. Everything is back to normal

Thanks
