It does NOT work with SATA keyed drives, NVMe only. It also works just as a PCIe slot if you use an adapter, but obviously any card needs to have external power.

I got my NC552SFP card showing up with a m.2>PCIe adapter, works fine and is recognized in Windows. I've tried Microcenter, Samsung, 2 types of Sandisk, and a Samsung Endurance MicroSD via USB... All with no luck. I have no idea what will actually work at this point.

Very minor update, swapped the CR2032 battery, box still won't boot via USB (with any reliability). Swapping the battery blew away BIOS settings, as well as ILO4 settings. Even with zero changes, I was able to install ESXi7.0U1 (non-customized), however it failed to boot with a fatal error after...

While that is a nice small package, I can grab a USB<>SATA adapter ($7.99) and Kingston A400 ($20) for a total of $27.99 vs the Corsair at $57.99. This cost difference is double since I need both of my boxes to be bootable. I'm still not sure why only two of us on here seem to be having issue...

I haven't tried ESXi 6.7, but seem to be having trouble booting just about anything via USB. I couldn't even get Ubuntu Desktop to boot yesterday via USB. Even if 6.7 works for some reason, I really want to stay on the current version of ESXi. My USB3.0 2TB drive boots flawlessly every single...

Yeah, I tried that last week before posting here. (via iSCSi on my FreeNAS box) I also got it installed, but I couldn't get it to boot via iSCSI. Are we best friends? I picked up the $3.50 USB 3.1 32GB Microcenter thumb drives. Same thing. I also figured this may just be a BIOS incompatibility...

@pac1085, I'm going to run to Microcenter and grab 2x16GB USB2.0 drives, and 2x32GB USB3.1 house-brand drives. I have a m.2 to PCIe adapter coming in today, gonna (try) and get my HP NC552SFP 10Gb card working in it. Tired of running a FreeNAS box for iSCSI. Now I just need to learn a little...

I picked up 2x of these EC200a units with the goal of running ESXi on them (7.0b/7.0U1). It was running it for a few weeks with no real issues on a Samsung Fit Plus USB 3.1 32GB drive, I have had one of these fail in the past, and they get set to read-only, it appeared that this happened to it...

That's good enough for me, thanks a ton!

Yup, make another account, you can literally use a "5 minute mail" type account (probably set it to 60 minutes). I did the same thing. It works fine, you don't need a key for eval. It's really stupid that they do this.

Yeah, my DL380e is the lower end, but got the warning about Sandy bridge losing support in the future. No big deal. Took them 24 months to have a new full release. (6.7 to 7.0) Probably another 2 years till another major release.

I have a homelab setup that consists of a box running FreeNAS serving iSCSI to 2xDL380e Gen8's. I've been using "MT26448 [ConnectX EN 10GigE , PCIe 2.0 5GT/s]" cards, these were ConnectX-2 HP branded single SFP+ port cards. They will not function in ESXi 7.0 as they function as a "legacy"...

DT122-BE | 2nd Gen AMD Embedded R-Series | Bald Eagle | Pre-Configured System & Chassis | DFI The user manual has screenshots. Boot pressing delete a few times to get to BIOS. Wait a few seconds. Press the 'right' arrow 3 times to get to "Boot" section Press the 'down' arrow 3 times to get to...

I think CSM is needed to load the "video" OPROM for the built in graphics, either NVME or BIOS will work for that. I fumbled my way through blind, and turned on CSM by guessing. I think that's why mine started working. I had to compare to BIOS screenshots in DFI's manual. Unless you NEED IOMMU...

You're correct. I think you're missing the point. It has PCIe Gen3, I don't want NVMe support. I just want PCIe support. It meets the spec for that, no? I'm NOT BOOTING FROM NVMe. The support is given by ESXi, which is in this case booted from USB. I'm sure it's not certified for TV Tuners...

Weird, cause it works fine on the Original BIOS, just not the modified or unmodified IOMMU BIOS. I already said I got it working. I can get 3,000MB/s sequential reads in a VM with CrystalDiskMark. As I mentioned in the post above: I never expected to boot from NVMe. The ignorance in your reply...

Both Modded/unmodded IOMMU bios didn't work with my HP EX920 NVMe card, the original one did: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/update-04-25-dfi-dt122-amd-rx-427bb-industrial-itx-t730-a-like-99-shipped-w-8gb.22009/#post-204838 Still a big win, mind you, I'm not booting from it...

Anyone have a copy of the non-modified "original" firmware? I want to try that out and see if my NVME problems are solved. IOMMU is less important to me than working NVME.

I picked up one of these, threw 16(2x8)GB of DDR3L in, and came across 2 major problems. After realizing it wouldn't initialize a old videocard so I could configure the BIOS, I ran to the store to buy a overpriced DisplayPort>HDMI adapter. I updated to the modified BIOS, and got ESXi 6.7 U2...
