I'm running a X9DRi-LN4F+ board with dual E5-2640's in an SC846 chassis. As is well documented, the PDB's in these cases don't have dedicated PCIe power. However, I've seen some information floating around:
1. You can create a PCIe power from one EPS 8 pin.
2. A single EPS 8pin is equivalent to...
I'm having issues with my 826 TQ backplane - I've loaded the entire chassis up with drives, but I'm only able to see the first 8 drives in my system (running unraid). Through process of elimination (swapping cables/hba cards), I've narrowed the issue down to the backplane. It appears there's two...
Looking at my options on mounting SSDs separate from my array in the case. In particular, interested in getting MCP-220-84610-0N. However, I'm not sure if I have the compatible variant of the 846(B). Can anyone help me from the attached pic? Thanks!
I'm assembling my SC846 with a SAS2846EL1 backplane. I flashed an h310 dell card to a LSI 2008, which is showing up fine in ESXi. However, there are no devices from the backplane detected even though I have a 500GB SATA drive plugged into port 1. I believe the backplane is getting power as all...
Looking to buy SC846 A/SAS2 chassis in the SF Bay area (south Bay, East Bay, or peninsula). Going to use as a JBOD enclosure so no need for motherboard. Power supply not needed, but I am looking for a unit with all drive cages.
I'm looking to replace my DS1812 with an unraid solution and am trying to decide if I should go the JBOD route or just make a full other server. I currently have a esxi srver dedicated to running vms that I figured I could pass an hba through vtd and have a separate chassis for drives. I figured...
I'm setting up ESXi on my SuperMicro X11dpi-n motherboard and I can't seem to get the internal network adapters (C621 chipset) to be recognized. My I350 Quad PCIe adapter is recognized fine. Has anyone else run into this?
I finally finished putting together my server after months of planning and sourcing (YAY! self-five). I built this using a SuperMicro X11 DPi-N and CS216 chassis. with a PWS-902-1R power spply.
A few oddities:
1. The front pin cluster on the motherboard had an additional 2 pins for NMI button...
Reading through the supermicro 3647 heatsink install, they specify a specific torque amount to use when installing. Does anyone have any recommendations on an affordable Screwdriver which you can see the max torque? Thanks!
I'm looking at getting a passive heatsink to be used with my supermicro X11-DPI-n board and cse 216. However,
I see two possible:
Supermicro SNK-P0068PS 2U Passive CPU Heat Sink For LGA3647-0 Socket
Supermicro SNK-P0068PSC 2U Proprietary Passive Side-Air-Channel CPU Heat Sink For LGA-3647-0...
i found this relatively decent deal on new crucial ddr4 ecc rdimm 16gb modules:
Crucial Technology Memory Module
However it’s 2666mhz. I’ll be using them with Xeon silvers which I know max is 2400mhz. I’m pretty sure this is the case, but can someone confirm that the memory will clock down...
I'm interested in getting a supermicro cse216 server chassis but really have no need for redundant power supplies. I can deal with a little downtime. If I buy a used chassis that was configured to be redundant, will it run just fine (without warnings, errors, degradation, etc) on a single power...
Hi All,
I've decided to pivot my upcoming build from a single 4u to a drive shelf + main server. Since I use only SSDs in my main server for VMs, I think I may go the 2u route but am concerned about noise levels. This server will be running in the back of a tandem garage on the ground floor of...
Hi All,
I'm looking at using a SuperMicro SC836 with an X11 based EATX board. Is there any compatibility issues I need to worry about between different revisions of this chassis? Also, Are there any good replacement power supplies? I'm unsure I want to use whatever comes with the used chassis...
Hi All,
I'm planning to build a new ESXi home server running dual Xeon Silver 4110 with a SuperMicro X11DPi-N. The motherboard I can get locally at central computers for $499 while the processors run $549. For RAM, my local used server surplus store selling 8GB ECC 2400 MHz for $80/stick...
