Newbie here... Be gentle.
So I have been asked to build a TrueNAS by my company and have never done it before. The issues is that the FIPS encrypted drives we are deploying are not supported by our installed QNAPS so here we are. Anyway, I am looking at using the following base machine to build TrueNAS on and was hoping for any insight form the community... Will it work OK? Dos and dont's? Any gotchas? Etc. Any guidance or help anyone can provide before I really get into this beast is much appreciated.
CPU: 4x Intel Xeon E7-4850 V2 12 Core 2.3Ghz ( 48 Total Cores)
RAM: 128GB DDR3 ECC REG
RAID Controller QTY 1x AOC-S3008L-L8E HBA Controller IT Mode
Caddies: 24x 3.5" Supermicro caddy
Power Supplies: 4x 1620W Power supply PWS-1K62P-1R Platinum
**8x Memory Board X10QBI-MEM1 Rev 1.01 SYS-8048B-TRFT (12 slots per board)
Supermicro 4U 24x 3.5" Drive Bays 1 Nodes
Server Chassis/ Case: SYS-8048B-TRFT
Motherboard: X10QBI Ver 1.01
Backplane: Upgrade too BPN-SAS3-846EL1 24-port 4U SAS3 12Gbps single-expander backplane, support up to 24x 3.5-inch SAS3/SATA3 HDD/SSD)
PCI-Expansions slots: 8x PCI-E 3.0 slots w/ 96 memory slots
(4x PCI-E 3.0 x16 and 4x PCI-E 3.0 x8)
*1x AOM-X10QBI-A Add-on Module support 1x VGA, Dual 10GBase-T ports X540
* Integrated IPMI 2.0 Management
Thanks for any comments, hints, suggestions, cautions, etc.
