    Looking For RAID 1 Enclosure

    My Esteemed Colleagues, I need your recommendation on a RAID 1 - USB 2.0 / eSATA / Firewire 2-drive enclosure, capable of 2 - 2T drives. I do NOT need NAS capabilities. I would like to add my own drives versus a retail unit with drives. What I have been using is RAIDON GR3630-2S-SB2+ (USB...

    MediaserverX01 (WHS)

    One quick update about the fans... Due to the fact that the Tyan motherboard does not do "Wake-on-LAN"; currently I have the server on a 4 hour wake timer from 18:00 to 22:00. It has been on that cycle since the first post. Yesterday is the first time that I remoted into the server, since...

    MediaserverX01 (WHS)

    Hey Guys, So sorry for the delay; I've been away from the boards for a while after my former employer decided to reduce the headcount. Give me few more days and I will try to answer the questions. Cabling parts (connectors, wiring, sheathing, shrink-tubing, pins, pin crimping tool)...

    MediaserverX01 (WHS)

    Patrick, thanks for the kind remarks. In regards to the cables, I couldn't find what I wanted for the fan splitter cables, so I built these. 2 into 1 for the rear exhaust fans and 3 into 1 for the fan wall: When I did the research into this build, someone had built a custom power cable...

    Tyan S5512WGM2NR does NOT support WOL

    FYI…The Tyan S5512WGM2NR does NOT support WOL (Wake-on-LAN). This is a deal breaker for me. I built a Norco 4220 around this motherboard and WHS v.1…software installed, started loading data, putting the final tweaks to it…when I encountered this. While the board the supports S3...

    Does the Tyan S5512WGM2NR pass SMART data?

    PERFECT! Thanks. With HDSentinel it does report the information. I'm disappointed that Home Server SMART doesn't report it, because then I would be able to see it from the WHS console on the clients versus to remote into the server. But hey, at least I can tell my chosen cooling selection...

    Does the Tyan S5512WGM2NR pass SMART data?

    My fellow S5512 users… Okay. I plead Uncle (only because I can’t figure this out). Does the Tyan S5512WGM2NR pass SMART data? If so how? My configuration: Norco 4220 Tyan S5512WGM2NR with firmware v.1.03 and with i3-2100T 2 - Hitachi 2.5” 7K500 drives running RAID 1 through the motherboard...

    Tyan S5512WGM2NR: No m1015 WebBIOS?

    It’s been a long evening…but I digress, The fix in my situation is a BIOS upgrade to the motherboard. Please see the fixes for v.1.03: I don’t go willingly into a BIOS flash, but as the LSI 9240-4i is the brother (or sister?) to the LSI 9240-8i (and my IBM m1015), I went there with...

    Tyan S5512WGM2NR: No m1015 WebBIOS?

    Tyan S5512WGM2NR: No m1015 WebBIOS? - SOLVED As stated, Tyan S5512WGM2NR with the IBM m1015 card (new MB; fleabay card; I’ve got 4; tried all 4). When booting, I get into the LSI MegaRAID BIOS screen and press Ctrl-H for the WebBIOS. Quickly, a line appears “WebBIOS will be executed after...

    What is IT-mode?

    Yea, a real noob question. But I’d like someone to explain why the IBM M1015 cards are being flashed to that. I don’t understand what IT-mode is (or isn’t). Background: I’m building slowly. Norco 4220, Tyan S5512WGM2NR. Going to run WHS v1 with duplication. The decision the...

    Tyan S5512WGM2NR can’t use Hitachi’s DFT?

    I’m building… Tyan S5512WGM2NR inside a Norco 4220. And I thought that I would test the drives with Hitachi’s Drive Fitness Test (DFT) before use (7K500-250 2.5†for the O.S.). I’m individually plugging them into a SATA port on the board and trying to run DFT. But DFT does not see...
