Thanks! Just placed an order. Will use it as a backup drive to my data.

Hi BlueFox, I have just PMed you. Thank you!

Hi what is the model of the Supermicro X10Dri? Thanks!

What design program do you refer to? Thin Client doesn't really perform well on the programs that need high computing power. Office software is okay. You should have a standalone PC to run design program like Adobe's softwares etc.

Thanks for sharing! May I know what kind of "speed control bug" it is? ("...Better to avoid pwm fans due to some speed control bug"). I recently encountered a situation that I cannot change the speed of the original fans. Link here. Thanks!

Thanks! The fans actually spin. I have checked. I typed this “fae mlxi2c set_fan /MGMT/FAN1 1 XX” but the problem is it doesn’t show error message but the fan speed stay the same.

Can anyone help shed some light? I was able to open the lid, use a 14cm fan to cool down the CPUBOARD. I did some investigation and found that my switch fans cannot be set the speed no matter what. Hence the RPMs are way below the treadsold. In command line console the status are all...

Update: I followed the guide and successfully upgraded the image from 3.4.0012 to 3.6.3004 to 3.6.8012. All done in command line. I need to change the admin webpage to begin with "https://" After logging in I got the warning message: 2023/11/04 09:55:51 : Insufficient number of working fans...

I see thanks! I think I can use ETH mode even I am at this 3.4 image. Not sure if it is because I have got the VPI licensing assistance from the seller and already registered it. Thanks again!

Thanks for such a quick response! Appreciate! Oh I didn't know that I need to upgrade to 3.6 for the license to work. Another dumb question if you don't mind. What does the license do? Anything I am losing if the license doesn't work? Thanks again!

Hi figure7555, thanks for sharing! I am about to do the same to update the image. You said "... I booted back to the previous version and tried the install again". May I know how you "boot it back to theh previous version" since you said you didn't get into the GUI. Did you do that in the...

Hi, I have successfully converted my EMC SX6012 to Mellanox by following the guide from dodgy route. I am now on 3.4.0012 image. I have a couple of questions after reading all the threads here: 1) What is the safetest way to upgrade the image from 3.4.0012 to 3.6.8010 or 8012? Through the...

Thanks so much figure7555! I am in the middle of converting FRU. :-)

It is great to see after so many years this post is still alive! I am a late joiner for SX6012. Just bought one from 2nd hand market. I will read this thread from the beginning but may I ask: 1) there seems to be two guides, one from mpogr and the other from dodgy route (a shorter version)...

I know this is probably a dumb question: is there any difference between cables for 10G and 40G? I am using 10G network but never used 40G before. :-)
