    X11SSH-F error on reboot

    Just following up with the response I received from Supermicro. I emailed tech support and described the issue I had; someone replied, asking if I had tried rebooting from the OS to see if the problem occurs again, to which I replied saying it hadn't after rebooting the following day. The...

    X11SSH-F error on reboot

    Looks like there is a common thread in that we both have the same RAM configuration. I'm glad to hear that your system has been running fine for so long after presenting the error, but I can definitely empathize with the vague paranoia that it could happen again, or worse, start happening more...

    X11SSH-F error on reboot

    I built a home server based on the Supermicro X11SSH-F back in early May of this year. The board is populated with 2 16GB sticks of Samsung RAM (MEM-DR416L-SL01-EU21, per Supermicro's approved list). I haven't had any issues at all with the system build until yesterday, when the system hung on...

    Intel RES2SV240 performance bottleneck

    I just wanted to thank everyone in the thread for their advice - everyone here has been extremely helpful, and I've definitely picked up a few suggestions on hardware that I will take into account for future upgrades. I am happy to report that the IO errors have been resolved, although the end...

    Intel RES2SV240 performance bottleneck

    Good to know - hopefully I will have similar experience later today or tomorrow morning when I have time to sit down and work on this some more. Yep, they're all retail boxed 4TB HGST drives. I am still psychologically traumatized from the 3TB Seagates in my last drive pool, so short of buying...

    Intel RES2SV240 performance bottleneck

    I do have the latest version of P20, but I will definitely try downgrading to the P19 firmware and driver if updating the expander's firmware doesn't resolve anything. Thanks for the suggestion. I have a second chassis I plan to expand to at some point, so 3 M1015's would take up too many...

    Intel RES2SV240 performance bottleneck

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I figured there would be some degree of a performance hit with the expander, but didn't expect so many IO timeouts during heavy access. I am running P20 on the M1015, since the Server 2012 drivers seem to be designed for that version. I will definitely try updating...

    Intel RES2SV240 performance bottleneck

    I recently built a new server based on Supermicro's X11SSH-F motherboard, SC846TQ chassis, and an IBM M1015 (flashed to 9211 IT) connected to an Intel RES2SV240 expander. I am running Server 2012 Essentials R2. The Intel expander seems to be causing performance issues with the drives that are...

    SC846TQ motherboard compatibility

    Thanks for the responses, it sounds like there shouldn't be a problem. I emailed Super Micro last week and their reply was basically that they hadn't tested that board with that chassis, and that it might work, but I should still buy a newer, more expensive chassis. I will follow up once I...

    SC846TQ motherboard compatibility

    I am in the process of putting together a new server. I have an unused SC846TQ chassis that I would like to use with one of the newer boards, leaning toward the X11SAT-F with an E-1245 V5 Xeon. I was just wondering if anyone here was aware of any compatibility issues with these newer boards, and...
