What do you mean nothing works?
Via the console, can you access the GUI or just the CLI?
Did you renew the license before trying to boot into the replacement device?
Worst case, you should be able to reinstall BIG-IP, do a little config and import a UCS.
Nothing works, means that none of the network interfaces are up. I can access CLI via console, but when I try to setup management interface, it says that it cannot do it, because it lost connection to some process (I do not remember the name, have to check it).
Also, the front LCD shows only "F5 Networks Incorporated" and the buttons do not change anything.
I did not renew the licence.
Also, when I boot the used device, it wants to update BIOS and it fails.
I will try to get some screenshots and detail messages. As I understand your answer, I should be able to configure the used machine.
