    LSI 9300-8i + 9207-8e in same chassis problem

    In the same X10DRi chassis I have a 9300-8i + 9207-8e cards. Is this supported ? When the system boots it shows just the 9300 Avago BIOS and in the adapter list it's just that one. No sign of the 9207 at all. The OS boots fine but it doesn't see the expansion chassis nor the drives inside it...

    I found a great deal on some brand new E5-4669V4 which as far as I know, should work in a dual socket motherboard, correct ? It also looks like the same specs as the E5-2699V4 , except with lower TDP...

    SuperMicro BPN-SAS3-216EL1 capacitor design issue

    I purchased 2x2U chassis off eBay which came with BPN-SAS3-216EL1 backplanes. On both of them, I found one capacitor that fell off at different locations. No biggie I guess. I ordered two refurbished backplanes also from eBay and when they arrived today I noticed that one of them had...

    Broadcom 9308 IT vs IR

    I just realized a few of my servers fitted with 9308 cards are in IR mode instead of IT yet they work just as fine. I always thought/knew that IR made meant the HBA doesn't present the drives directly to the OS, etc but that doesn't appear to be the case. The OS sees the drives...

    Cleaning thermal paste from socket

    Bought a brand new x10drd-i motherboard. Managed to get some non-conducting thermal paste in the socket. How screwed am I ? I tried cleaning with alcohol, q-tip and a microfiber tissue. No luck, it's deep on the socket below the pins and I'm afraid to bend them. Tips ? https://ibb.co/JtmwmfB...

    I bought some brand new HUS726060AL5210 HGST 6TB 7.2K 12G 128MB 3.5" SAS Hard Drive and when I put them in a SuperMicro JBOD chassis, the blue light remains on. I've put other drives in these chassis via hotswap and the light doesn't remain on... but these do. What does it mean exactly ?

    Cpu cache tester

    After a very long app debugging process, the developpers are 99.9% sure one of my E5-2620v3 cpus have a faulty l1/2/3 cache. I only tested using memtest86+ Pro and it found no errors but I understand that memtest disables all caches and just tests the ram. Is there an app to test the cpu caches?

    Supermicro AOM-S3108M-H8 standoffs

    I managed to lose the standoffs that came with my Supermicro AOM card. SMC doesn't sell them separately, not even the RMA department. I took some photos from another server of the actual measurements but I don't know where the look for such a thing. Anyone knows ?
