Because of issues archiving over a WAN (see this article), it might be necessary to manually trigger a watchdog so that the server is able to start up successfully. To do this, complete the following steps:
- On the System configuration page, open the Watchdog Timers tab and make sure the motherboard watchdog is enabled.
- Open a Terminal window to the server.
- Execute ps -ef | grep core to find out the process ID of the core process. If multiple IDs are reported, use the lowest.
- Execute sudo kill -9 [pid], where [pid] is the process ID from the previous step.

The server should then restart within the specified watchdog timer timeout.
