    Mix and match RAM for server?

    I have a mixture of DDR4 ECC UDIMMs - 2x Kingston 16GB, 1x Hynix 8GB, 1x Hynix 32GB. I think some are different speeds as well. I have tested the single sticks and the matched pair independently in my Asrock C246 motherboard with Passmark’s MemTest86 and all passed a full round as well as all 4...

    “Dual” bifurcation?

    I have an Asrock C246 board and 2x Supermicro PCI-E to dual m.2 drive cards. I’m trying to use all 4 drives in the system but only the card/drives in the 16x slot (PCI-E 4) are detected. I’ve tried all possible BIOS settings but nothing changes. Any ideas? Note there is an m.2 to u.2 converter...

    I'm looking for a modern (C236 or later) motherboard that supports Xeon CPUs and ECC RAM and that has at least 2 (preferably 3-4) M.2 slots and the option in BIOS to disable each slot individually. The reason for this is I like to have a few different OSes for testing and like for them to be...

    New rack scratching wood floors when moved

    I bought a new StarTech 4POSTRACK25U rack and after loading my equipment in it, I had to move it out of the server closet a few times and realized it was leaving light scratches on the wood flooring when I did so. I didn’t have this problem with my previous StarTech rack but it didn’t have the...

    LSI SAS9300-4I4E heatsink

    I have a LSI SAS9300-4I4E card and the heatsink just popped off of it. It looks like one of the little black plastic pins broke. The springs flew off, I doubt I can even find them. The heatsink looks to be OK, does anyone have any recommendations on how to reattach it? I could return it since I...

    Budget platform for 256GB RAM?

    I'm currently using a X10SDV-4C-TLN2F for my primary TrueNAS system. It has been a great board/platform. Rock solid and inexpensive ($230 for board, CPU, and 2x 10Gb NIC). However, it maxes out at 128GB RAM. I'm looking to increase to 256GB RAM and the only options I'm seeing are a Xeon D 2100...

    Supermicro caddies difficult to insert/remove

    I bought a used Supermicro SC846 from eBay a few years ago and some of the hard drive caddies are quite difficult to insert and remove. Is this a common problem?

    I just purchased a Supermicro X10SDV-4C-TLN2F on eBay and upon logging into the BMC I see it has firmware rev 3.91 whereas the latest version according to the Supermicro product page is 3.88. Does anyone know what the difference is? Should I flash it to 3.88?
