I recently acquired an used Supermicro 216, with the backplane BON-SAS-216A. Upon powering the unit, the front 24 lights remain solid red (no flashes).
Blue activity light blinks when there is activity but the red lights are bothering me. I thought maybe upgrading the firmware might help but I...
I am wondering if there is a minimum requirement to get up to 40 Gbe networking? I noticed something being very slow with my s2d setup and I was testing all sorts of things. I was able to confirm RDMA is working but when I was testing my network iperf, it seems like it would not go past 8 Gbe...
I am trying to put some journal drives in my existing systems and they are all SuperMicro boards, X9 to be exact.
I see the AOCs support list only support X10 and X11. Wondering if anyone tried it with X9 and got it to work? Thanks.

I am running into a problem on my intel 4 node server. The server board is S2600JF all 4 nodes in the chassis have the latest available firmwares on the intel site.
All boards are equipped with 32GB ram and 2xE5-2630L.
How I noticed the issue was after I updated the Proxmox nodes to 5.1, none...
I have a SC836 that has been acting up recently. For the past 6 months, I've already swapped 2 PSUs on the unit. Now, I do not recall whether they were the same slot or not but is it possible that the backplane for the PSU corrupt PSU?
The troubled PSU would have an orange light on while...
Hi,
I have a few systems which had been upgraded to 3xIBM M1215 (Flashed to LSI 9300-8i P14 in IT mode) each. There is this error logging every 5 minutes every other day for 20-60 minutes. All systems running Windows 2016.
What is strange is, it is not a constant error which logs non stop. I...
I am trying to get the RDMA working with my Mellanox ConnectX-3 VPI. I have Windows 2016 installed with the latest firmware and driver available installed. I have priority QoS configured on the OS.
I have read numerous sites and on Mellanox community as well that configuring the switch is...
I am eyeing on EX3300-24/48P and this is going into a confined office. No separate closet or server room so I am wondering if anyone can shine some light in the noise of the switch?
Thanks

Hi there,
I recently purchased a Gnodal GS0018 and I was fairly excited to set it up. However, I was trying to utilize my old QSFP cables I've used in my IB setup. I have Mellanox ConnectX-3 VPI adapters.
However, Gnodal must not like the cable because none of the adapters show connected. The...
I am pulling my hair out on this one. I've spent nearly 6 hours trying to find out how to change my built in ConnectX-3 on my Supermicro mobo from IB to ETH.
I am not running Windows... just the Hyper-V 2016 core. I can't access Device Manager from Server Manager because it is giving me some...
Hi, I am looking to upgrade my switches and I am wondering what is the most economical but not too much technological behind switches.
For non POE I have Cisco 2690G-24 ports. I would like to increase the port density because I am running too many 24 port switches.
For POE I have Cisco 3750-48...
I have a SuperMicro SC216 case in the way and I am sourcing a motherboard for it. One of my local guy has a SuperMicro board that is listed as EEATX (enhanced extended atx) form.
But the chassis says only EATX boards are welcomed. Will the EEATX board fit given both case and motherboard are...
I am wondering if somebody can recommend a chassis for SSD storage nodes. I am trying to build a 2 node cluster to store my VMs. I already have the SSDs purchased and I am looking for an economical chassis to put them in without breaking the bank.
I do have spare infiniband cards laying around...
I have a rather strange problem going on here. This only happened to me when I upgraded my PC from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.
I made sure I have the latest Java version as well we the IPMIView as of today but still experiencing this problem:
When I open up KVM Console, sometimes it shows me...
I've been troubleshooting for a day now and I can't get this working. This machine is a physical machine (not a VM host) so I have Windows 2012 R2 installed. The machine joined domain and it was all working great until a restart. The network became unidentified again.
I tried pulling out the...
I currently have a Voltaire 4036 and it's screaming... Does anyone else run QDR or FDR setup that has a more tolerable switch?
I would like a FDR switch since most gear I have are FDR already.
Thanks.
Hi,
I've been looking around to get 2 storage systems host Hyper-V VMs. I've been browsing Supermicro chassis but I am not exactly sure what should I be looking for.
The 2 nodes will act as a HA/Failover. What kind of features should I be looking for on the backplane? I will be installing SSDs...
I have an opportunity to purchase 2 Dell branded Intel S3700's. On the drive, there is no Dell logo but there is a DP/N: XXXXXX on it which from googling it is a Dell's S3700.
I've read on here that people had problem reading SMART data from the HP version of the drive. Has anyone experience...
First time has this ever happened to me... I got home and found out my server wasn't accessible which was strange to me. Went down to the basement to check and noticed a strange smell.
I tried to press power button but nothing happened. Lights were still working. Opened up the case to...
