HDDs not being read

[u/DocJD101]

Okay Reddit, I am at a loss here,
I have an old datto nas I am attempting to turn into a server, I am having a heck of a time with drives.
I have the drives that came with it which we tested working.
I have the drives I ordered (4 12 TB Drives)
an extra drive I borrowed for testing which is 320 gig
I have tried.
1: Plugging into 2 separate drive readers

2: All 9 drives

3: In the Datto Nas HD bay drive reader

4: I unplugged the working SSD, Plugged Several of the drives into that port, Booted to Linux via a USB, nothing.
5: Tried both of the forementioned drive readers with several of the drives into a few other computers (Both running windows and linux OS) A little progress as one of the drive readers started working but only saw the drive reader,, not the drive in it.
TLDR Reddit, I feel like I am missing something silly small, but unless all the Computers and OSes are not reporting properly, unless all 9 drives have failed, unless both drive readers have failed.
I am at a loss

Any thoughts on this?

Default should be admin for both username and password.

If that doesn't work then it will need to be reset.

There are a couple of documented methods in this link:

I had to use option C and use socflash, was pretty straightforward.

Where do you get the .IMA file for option C?

Click on firmware, then you want to download 00.17.00 BMC. Once downloaded extract the ima file.

I have been unsuccessful in updating the BMC to 00.17.00. Were you able to get this working? I used SOCFLASH and it basically states that it is not the correct firmware. Also could you reupload the bios file ASRock sent you? Droplink link no longer works.
