My understanding is you're limited to 120W CPU's in the FC430 when in dual processor configuration. If you use a single CPU, you can go up to 140W. I'm having problems finding the TDP of your CPUs, but they're 18 core which makes me think they're beyond what the FC430's will support. Hope that...

Another difference is you can't BIOS/legacy boot a 4k native disk. EFI only. That's probably less of an issue now :)

Supermicro only.

@Rille_lkp - the SPD and SBR files are for a 9270-8i MegaRaid adapter, and won't help you if you're starting with an HBA. You can go MegaRaid -> HBA, but not the other way. I agree with @BLinux, you should return the cards. If you paid via PayPal, you can start a claim via them if ebay didn't...

In my experience, only SAS drives light the online status light. SATA drives do not.

As I remember, it's only free for 927x series adapters and newer. The 926x's still require either the free software trial key, or a hardware key.

Yeah, when I implemented one myself I ran into the exact same limitation. I've ended up pulling it out due to its limitations. If possible it's better to just buy switches with redundant power. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Yup, I'm aware you can connect 6 devices, but only 2 can be powered. https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/switches/redundant-power-system-2300/redundant_power_system_2300_qa.pdf From the first answer on the first page: "The Cisco RPS 2300 helps ensure failover from internal...

I've had no issues using non-cisco sourced SFP's and SFP+'s in their switches. So long as their coded as cisco, they work just as well as the $1000 ones your VAR will sell you. In my experience, fs.com is a great option for this.

Hey, that is correct, redundancy is via the switches own PSU combined with the RPS. As well, even though the RPS has 6 ports, it can only power 2 devices. And depending on which switches you're using, the only way to switch back to the on-board PSU, is to reboot the switch in question.

Based only on a picture, it looks like a standard SFP-10G-SR. Looks like it was manufactured in 2007 according to the markings. Have you had any problems with it?

I would recommend getting a SD Card rated for at least A1, which is 1500 random read iops and 500 random write. This will make for a better pairing using this for an operating system.

My understanding is none of the MegaRAID cards support 520 byte sectors. Typically you'll only run into 520 byte sectors with drives from a SAN (Netapp, IBM, EMC, etc).

Sorry, I've never done such a modification. But I can't imagine the iDRAC would be happy with such changes.

My understanding is the "xd" just means "extra drives". So to run 12 to 14 drives in the R720xd, there's a SAS expander in the backplane, and the rear two ports are just running off one of the ports on the expander, with an i2c extension to run the LED's. The LFF R720 only has 8 drives, and...

Try using a LSI HBA in IT mode. The H310 is in iMR (Integrated MegaRaid) mode, which can't work non-512 byte sector drives. A LSI 9211-8i is a popular choice. The BIOS screen you're showing is the Dell H310 interface, not the LSI IT BIOS. Are you sure the flash to IT mode worked as expected?

@gdclub send me a PM with the email you want me to send it to.

Hey @ServeTheHarry :) The SBR I have is from a retail 9270-8i, not a 9271-8i. I think the main difference is the 9271-8i includes a SKU to come with CacheCade Pro. Send me a PM, and I can work out giving you the SBR I have.

Does your fat twin model support node hotswap? I don't know about the version you have, but the 2u4n model I had, required a specific model to support node hot-swapping. What model do you have?

Anything should work. Intel is only picky with optical transceivers, DA's I've had no issues with any I've used. I'd recommend getting a cable from fs.com.
