    No config/post menu from Perc H730 HBA on Supermicro Motherboard

    Fair point. I'm actually not 100% what the resolution was. I had both DVI and VGA cables connected between the X11 motherboard onboard video and my lab monitor. I wasn't really paying attention to which output was working, but I believe that due to me using an HDMI loopback plug also on the...

    No config/post menu from Perc H730 HBA on Supermicro Motherboard

    I'm in the process of trying to swap the RAID controller on my X11-SCA-F based home server from an older LSI card to a Dell PERC H730 that I just received. This is being done ahead of an ESXi 6.7->7.0 upgrade I'm going to need to do for some new stuff I am going to be testing out. The system...

    Enabling Intel GPU on Supermicro X11-SCA-F ?

    Okay I have an update on this that might help the next person who stumbles on this thread in a Google search. Simply connecting a display to the HDMI port on the motherboard didn't accomplish anything. The default configuration of the motherboard in fact has the onboard graphics disabled and I...

    Enabling Intel GPU on Supermicro X11-SCA-F ?

    I don't have anything plugged in and was actually just starting to think about this. Does this mean I will always have to leave a monitor plugged in and powered up whenever the motherboard boots for the iGPU to come online or once it learns the hardware is there it will remember it? I will try...

    Enabling Intel GPU on Supermicro X11-SCA-F ?

    Okay, it looks like it "should" work based on Supermicro's own description of the motherboard - " 1 HDMI port, 1 DVI - D port, 1 DP (DisplayPort) port, 1 VGA port, Intel UHD P630 graphic(For CPU Xeon E-21XXG series only)" But I can't find an information on making this GPU available to the...

    Enabling Intel GPU on Supermicro X11-SCA-F ?

    I recently built a new machine for ESXi that is based on an Intel E-2278G (P630 graphics) and X11SCAF Supermicro motherboard. ESXi does not see the Intel GPU. Is there a setting in the Supermicro motherboard to make this function? Does the motherboard not support an iGPU (would seem a weird...

    ESXi 6.7u3 home build went boom - need help troubleshooting

    Thanks, I had not thought of that, just assumed that the VGA port on the mobo would be using the integrated video.

    ESXi 6.7u3 home build went boom - need help troubleshooting

    Yes there are a lot of things shared between PCIE slots and for example the M.2 slots. I bought 2 of the Intel cards since they were on the Synology compatibility list and got copper DAC cable for them since it's inexpensive (total cost for everything $200). I want to keep power consumption on...

    ESXi 6.7u3 home build went boom - need help troubleshooting

    I've made a bit of headway on this last night as I couldn't sleep and was working on it. I moved the server into its permanent rack location, booted it up and (knocks on wood) it mounted the internal SSD RAID set no issue. I'm now a bit suspicious that something with the way it was restarted...

    ESXi 6.7u3 home build went boom - need help troubleshooting

    Hi Rand thanks for replying. I wasn't even aware that iSCSI could be set to mount at the BIOS level, I have it configured to mount in ESXi. The board is new and was already on the latest BIOS that Supermicro came out with in August. I updated IPMI to try to resolve a couple of nuisance issues...

    Yes, my error I meant to have quoted @ARNiTECT who does have the same Motherboard and is also running ESXi 6.7.

    Need help finishing out my E2278-G & Supermicro build

    Okay, so I rebooted the ESXi host after messing around with the cabling on the NIC and now it shows available for teaming. *facepalm*.
