Hi All, I have a 2U twin Supermicro system ( Supermicro SuperServer 6027TR-DTRF 2-Node Server X9DRT-HF ). I have upgraded the server nodes with X9DRT-HF+ units (more ram slots & SAS controller). The only issue is that it has no standard PICe slots. There is a custom PCIe slot that takes a...

Hi All, I have a x9 2U FatNode server (only two nodes not 4). Unfortunately the setup is SATA only. Does anyone know what options are there for using SAS drives ?. The back plane does not even have any SATA / SAS connectors, everything comes through the node connection riser. Thanks...

Hi, We are having issues with our main distribution box circuit breaker tripping (the master breaker). We bought the property 10+ years ago (2 floor flat / apartment) and changing the whole set of eletrics is one thing that was out of budget so we were only able to tag on some new wall boxes...

So I bought a X9DRI-LN4F board a wile ago and use it as the basis for a home FreeNAS box (running a couple of VMs as well as normal storage server duties). The problem I had with it was that after connecting to the BMC with Supermicros IPMIView and trying to open the Remote Console, it would...

Hi. I recently purchased a Supermicro X10SLM-LN4F and an E3-1220v3 CPU (different sellers). When plugged in and with validated Kingston ram sticks the board powers on but no video, no USB power (ie. no keyboard lights), no beep codes. Taking out the ram results in no change (ie. no ram issue...

Hi, So I am using a Remote Desktop Services server to provide an entry way in to a lab for 2 groups of users, each requiring access to specific servers exclusively. I have been looking at SuperPutty and pre-defining the sessions.xml with all saved servers defined but I can't seem to find a way...

So I have received my Supermicro 933T-R760B chassis and it is ok (not great and with a few issues but ok). I am trying to get the drive lights to work and there are two connectors on the backplane for this. They have the following pin outs; Pin Definitions (JP26 and JP47) Pin # Definition Pin...

I moved away from my DDR infiniband a while ago and, due to using a mITX san, ended up using iSCSI on a dedicated 1 GbE network but my OCD keeps nagging that I have 3 QDR cards sitting around. I have just bought the bits for a new storage san (rack mount dual L5630s) and have a number of x8PCIe...
