FreeNAS 11.1U5 on asrock rack C3758D4I-4L

[dasti]

Hi

Just reporting that I did a fresh install of Freenas 11.1U5 on this motherboard C3758D4I-4L and the network cards are now recognized (11.1U4 was not able to recognize it).
it should also work in C3558D4I-4L

I will report if I find any bug.

Caveat : Mini SAS HD Connector [SATA_8_11] and PCI speed 4x 8x

if you want this connector to work you need to be in switch board configuration "config2" in the section advanced / chipset configuration
Note : for BIOS firmware version P1.30 (17 may 2018) the default configuration is "config1" so the connector won't work

You have to choose between having this connector working or having a pci express port speed at x8.
If you want to go over 13 harddrives you must install a HBA card and they are all (as far as I read) 8x so you will have to go back into [config1] in the BIOS which will desactivate the SATA_8_11 connector.

Freenas bug (?) : unknown cpu

extract from /var/log/message

Code:

Jul 13 00:40:00 freenas pmc: Unknown Intel CPU.

Bug Freenas or motherboard (?) : [USB3_2] connector disappear when connecting drives to the [SATA_8_11] connector

usb ports can be configured as follow

HARDWARE
- 3 usb keys 32gb usb3.0 in different brands (toshiba, samsung, sandisk) configured in triple mirror for boot
- 4 harddrives HGST sas 4GB connected with a mini SAS HD to mini SAS connector and a backpannel


DESCRIPTION
- when using the [SATA_8_11] connector freenas can not detect a usb key plugged in the [usb2] connector
- [USB_SEL_1] and [USB_SEL_2] jumpers are in position 2-3
- this supposed to means that the back usb connector [USB3_2] support usb3 only
- no problem when using the mina sas hd [SATA_0_3] connector
- [usb_1_2] connectors are not affected




TEST1
swap usb keys brand in the [usb2] connector -> same problem, same usb port



TEST2 : hot move the sas cable with 4 drives from [SATA_0_3] to [SATA_8_11]

errors: No known data errors

- the usb keys are still there
- harddrives don't come back
- after reboot the drives will be detected but the usb key in the [usb2] connector will not be detected in Freenas (but is detected in the BIOS)



TEST3 : hot move the sas cable with 4 drives from to [SATA_8_11] to [SATA_0_3]
- the drives are not detected
- the usb key doesn't reappear
- everything is fine after reboot
- I saw this error message when shutting down freenas

TEST4 - change [USB_SEL_1] and [USB_SEL_2] jumpers into position 1-2 with SAS connector [SATA_8_11]

And here i was just thinking about buying C3000 thank you for letting me know it doesn't really work all that well. I will go with an X9 instead.

 

[Eric Li]

Great job!
But I haven't installed CentOS on my C3758 successfully...

 

[Chris Moore]

We have FreeNAS version 11.1-U6 now, with 11.2 just around the corner. The OP was using an older version (11.1-U4) because this is an old thread. Current results will likely be different.

@dasti could you find what memory you installed in your ASRock C3758D4I-4L?

I installed this Samsung RAM that seems to be spec-compatible, but nothing. IPMI works, and won't power on the board or report any errors.

2x of https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/dram/module/M393A4K40BB1-CRC/

I also tried a replacement board. Same result.

@ndemarco, I saw in the other thread you got the board to work, what memory did you use? I had 4 sticks of Samsung RAM laying around, this model: https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/dram/module/M393A2G40DB0-CPB/. Same as in your case, IPMI seems to work but the board won't power on.
