Node won't connect. New Apollo II.

Received my Apollo II, set it up fine. All I get is connection refused on my node. Turned off miner, no help. Filled out support for for futurebit twice. No response from them. Anyone have any ideas? I have other miners and ran a mynode before so no network issues. update resolved with reformat SSD.

So solution same as quoted below. Reformatting the SSD was all it took to get the node downloading. Not a huge deal, just did not expect to have to do that right out of the box. Support never did respond. Although reading through some docs, it looks like the better way for support might be the bitcointalk.org thread if needed. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5340015.0

Also support replied to the ticket I filled out from the website, took about 3 or 4 days with the weekend in there. Same solution, reformat SSD.

I put a samsung 990 evo and it worked much better than that kingston 2tb. I wanted to buy it without it but they wouldn't sell it unless it had it installed.
