Dear all, i finally bought some old test HW, including a X10SRH-CF. Now i am thinking to actually use that MB in my final installation as the specs read pretty decent, even in year 2023... Do you guys have experience with such old HW? And, would it be a big issue to port that installation over...

I recently found a stored Supermicro x10srh cln4f with a Xeon that I wanted to sell, I tested it and got no video output but the BMC heartbeat was flashing, I just sold it and the buyer wants a return because apparently some pins are bent in the socket. Do BMC heartbeats flash with a broken...

Hi folks, I recently got 4 bay supermicro server with x10DRD-Int in it. I see that 2 nvme bays are wired (from back-pane) to both NVME and SATA connectors. I wonder if both connectors are actually used to driver NVME drives? Or SATA connection is used only if non-NVME dive is plugged into the...

Here's my current set-up: Motherboard: X10SLL-F RAM: 8GB DDR3 ECC UDIMM RAM PC3-12800E Processor: Intel® Xeon® E3-1270 v3 This is a new setup, and I am trying to access the BIOS to change the boot order and install the OS, but am getting no video output. IPMI works, but iKVM shows no display...

Hi, I want to do a hard rest of the bios on my Supermicro X10SL7-F, and I was wondering if this would have any consequences for the flashed it-mode? My machine won't boot anymore and I don't remember my passwords for the ipmi account and my bios. To make things worse VGA port doesn't seem to...

I have the opportunity to get my hands on a cheap SuperServer 6026TT-HDTRF (2U, 12-bay LFF, 2-node). I'd like to gut it and just use it for the drive bays along with an HBA in another server. If necessary, I'd throw an expander in there. Unfortunately, the backplane (BPN-SAS-827HD) uses...

Hello, Building a new system with: X11SPH-nCTPF motherboard and SuperChassis 826BE2C-R920LPB which has a BPN-SAS3-826EL2 dual-expander backplane. I've connected the SAS cables from the 2 ports on the motherboard to the first two ports on the first expander (currently not using the second...

Hi there, I'm checking out a build that will be used as a storage server for our office (accessed mainly via NFS) to replace our current one as the main storage. I'm considering FreeNAS on SuperStorage 6049P-E1CR24L and would love to hear some thoughts about this build: SuperStorage...

Hi, I've decided to move my FreeNAS setup to a SuperMicro X11SDV-4C-TP8F. My goal is: - Boot from ESXi via an M.2 SSD or SATA DOM, perhaps even having most VM's stored here as well; - Passthrough the SATA disks from the on-board connectors to FreeNAS - Passthrough other disks to additional...

Hi, I recently purchased a Supermicro SC847 BE1C4-R1K23LPB for a server I am building, yet I am not sure how to connect the drives on the backplane to the HBA I have. The backplane has 4 ports, but there is space for 24 drives, and I am not sure how to connect them to the two LSI SAS 9305-16i...

Hey there community. I've been pulling my hair out over trying to get FreeNAS to recognize my HP FCLSE-0701. I'm running a Supermicro SuperServer 2027R-N3RFT+ that has 16 2.5" bays on the front. Using the built-in Intel controller, I'm connecting to two pairs of SSDs that I've installed in the...

Hi all, Just setting up a new (second hand) X10SLM+-F board. Still running memtests - all going well so far. In the IPMI, I'm getting an "Invalid Username or Password" error logged every ten seconds. I've updated to latest IPMI firmware and BIOS, and have reset all IPMI / BIOS config before...

Hi, I'm putting together my first FreeNAS server after 10+ years of running homebrew linux servers with various levels of storage sophistication. After spending a few hours looking at options, I've seen a lot of suggestions to buy used servers on eBay, and so I'm looking at a Supermicro X10SAE...

Hello, I have a Supermicro 826-9 with a X9DRD board. It has the backplane BPN-SAS2-826EL1. I also have an AOC-S2308L-L8i raid card in IT mode. I was wondering if we have 4x240GB SSDs and 6x2TB HDDs if we can get setup for ESXI + FreeNAS.

Hi, I got a Supermicro X9SCM-F motherboard, which is mainly used for virtualization and storage. I know that people use a lot of Supermicro boards in their builds here, so I thought it will probably not hurt to ask some questions, and maybe I should be careful to not run into any potential...

At the moment im searching for the right board. First I just want to use my FreeNAS system only for Media Storage, Backups of my "important data". VM's / Dockers I run of my Main Server with 3x 500GB SSD's in raid 5 (HWR). I was looking at this boards: X11SDV-4C-TLN2F X10SDV-4C+-TLN4F...

Hello, I'm build a new NAS for home-usage and I want to hear your opinion and advice about chosen hardware. I live in a small flat so my NAS will be placed on a fridge and it's only one door from my bedroom, so it should be quiet. I plan to shutdown drives at night and hope that fans will be...

Hi, the NAS I'm going to build needs to live in my bedroom and therefore has to be very quiet. It'll never serve more than 1-2 users at the same time and will be equiped with two 4TB HDDs (mirrored). Also it should be as cost-effective as possible while being safe (e.g. ECC Memory) and...

Has anyone had experience using the Supermicro A2SDi-2C-HLN4F motherboard with FreeNAS? I want to buy a Supermicro barebones server (5029A-2TN4) which features this motherboard. I will use 4x 8 TB WD Red drives. The server will be a pure NAS, no plugins or other duties so the dual core Atom...

Hello folks, i recently got my hands on an Supermicro Mainboard X10SDV-4C-TLN2F as my new Freenas box. In the near future i plan to get a IBM M1015 to flash it and extend my usable sataports. As im doing alot of expiriments with HEVC or h265 i noticed i would like to have a h265 rdy card from...

Hi dear guys. I'm a silent reader in this forum. But now I got into some trouble with my SUPERMICRO motherboard and I would appreciate your advice. Maybe I am looking for an alternative to my SUPERMICRO board. In the last weeks I realized, that there is an BIOS and IPMI update for the...

Buongiorno, due to my fault i had to reinstall the system. In the previous installation i think that i have choose UEFI boot mode, since my MOBO supports it. After the correct install i can’t automatically boot from the stick, the BIOS not show me, in its boot preference menu, the UEFI...

I'm in the midst of designing a storage appliance to house client offsite backups which will replicate to one another bi-coastal (freenas replication). The files housed on the storage appliance would range in 10GB - 50GB in nature, typically no smaller and are 95% writes versus reads. There is...

Hi all, I have been trying to track down and additional 16GB (2x8GB) memory modules for my Freenas setup on a supermirco X10sl7-f. I found some reasonably cheap samsung memory with the PN#M391B1G73QH0-YK0. This memory is not in the compatibility list, and im wondering if that is likely to...

I bought a used Supermicro X10SLM motherboard. The IPMI BMC firmware version is 1.10. Is it a good idea or recommended to update the IPMI BMC firmware to the latest version? From what I was reading in the upgrade tool instructions there is no way to downgrade back to the 1.x firmware if there is...

I'm not entirely sure if this is a known issue or just me not knowing all the underpinnings of how IPMI functions. But Here is my issue if anyone has any insight. I have a SuperMicro Server w/IPMI: Product Name: X9DRL-3F/iF I also have 'LAGG' configured to port bond my two NIC's on the...

Hi guys, After a quite short night (2am), I am just now in the process of tearing out the X8DT-6F motherboard from our SC846 chassis and replace it with something I got around here, just to get the storage working for Monday. I updated the BIOS of this motherboard on Frinday (flashing went...

Hello, Really stuck as to what could be causing this issue, so here's the situation: Upon attempting to install / boot FreeNAS 11 the system hangs when I have my LSI Card installed. When I remove the card from the system, it boots just fine. This screenshot below show the boot state...

I would appreciate a check over of the following components I am hoping to put together to consolidate all my storage into one large quiet server.

Six new drives were attached to a Dell H310 which has been flashed to IT firmware (only, no boot BIOS). One of the drives was never detected. Replacing power and signal cables did nothing. Swapped power and signal cables with a working drive, and that drive continued to work while the...

Hi, I have access to lot of movies, tv-shows, music, etc. The only bottleneck right now is storage. I do have 15 odd 2TB Seagate Portable HDD (SMR type), which I am using right now for storing the content but I don't think it's a neat solution. So, I have been wondering about getting a proper...

Hello. I'm brand new to FreeNAS and building out servers, so please pardon my innocence. I'm looking to build out a FreeNAS server that would act as a passive backup server for our primary storage(4-node Isilon cluster). By no means do I expect to run regular HPC load on this FreeNAS server...

Hi, everybody! I was interested in building a new server based on the Supermicro A2SDi-8C+-HLN4F. However, I think this platform requires an Intel X553 driver (generally required for 10G Ethernet, but I believe it's also required for Gigabit on this platform.) It's my understanding that this...
