just seen this one, something new in the mikrotik 2.5gb switch range.. great, but a bit pricey. 20x 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 4x COMBO ports that can either be used as 4x additional 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports OR as 10G SFP+ interfaces, 2x 40 Gigabit QSFP+ cages for ultra-fast fiber...

In the end ubuntu lts 20.04 locked up and left the raid 6 in an inconsistant state. Thankfully we were still in a pre-production mode. Immediately bought a qnap nas to attach the qnap jbod to. I really like my supermicro builds. Have server me well over the years and with some regret move over...

Final update... Supermicro provided further test bios's. The ipmi keyboard was related to the number of usb 3 hubs on the system. With the new test bios And now the keyboard works flawlessly. The test bios will theoritically support upto 52 drives available to boot from. As for booting from...

hi, anyone heard of any C2000 systems which are not affected? i.e. is there any way that a typical pc (bios based) board will not suffer from this bug? Have a C2758 system, fairly standard "pc like" motherboard running linux in an "appliance". e.g. AMI bios, usb, sata ports, boots from sata...

Success - Flashed d2607 to P17 IT f/w Update : Success flashing... However card does not work too well when flashed to P17 IT mode ! ! ! Only one of the SAS8087 connectors work. Iam using sata fan out cables to a passive backplane. When using a Sun (rebadged LSI 9211-8i card) the system works...
