Hey folks,
that's my system.
It all works, FreeNAS booting up eventually, HDDs and SSD being recognized correctly, it's just that it takes more than 3 minutes to boot, or respectively more than 3 minutes to finish identifying attached devices to the controller. This also applies when I want to go into the BIOS settings, since first the whole hardware identifcation process is being handled, it takes me like 5 minutes to change something and reboot. I went into the controller options (CTRL+C or CTRL+D.. one of that combinations), but there is no option whatsoever to cut it short. It just shows the attached disks and offers only little to configure since it's an HBA and no RAID controller. Also the manual or google doesn't give much information.
Firmware on the mainboard is up to date, revision 1.0b, the controller is running with Firmware Version 20. I read in the FreeNAS guide, that version 16 is recommneded (http://www.freenas.org/blog/a-complete-guide-to-freenas-hardware-design-part-ii-hardware-specifics/), but this thread is from February 2015 and since the controller was delivered with FW 20, I just leave it there at the moment.
So my main question:
Is that the usual behavior to take a few minutes? Is there a particular order to connect devices to the controller? As of now not all ports are populated. Or am I maybe missing some crucial BIOS settings to turn on/off?
I'd appreciate some input.
Cheers
