    Replacing BMC Chip on ASRock Rack board

    Has anyone done this? I have an E3C246DU and the BMC will not work. I'm pretty sure it's related to the stupid UID LED button (I wish this thing didn't exist). I've tried just about everything outside of replacing the BMC chip itself to get it to work (pass the self test and get an IP for...

    Samsung MZ-ILS3T8N causing JBOD SIMs to reboot loop?

    I just purchased a few lots of Samsung MZ-ILS3T8N 3.84TB SSD's and my JBOD systems (Quantavault JB4242's) don't seem to like them.

    iGPU Not Detected on ASRock Rack E3C242D4U

    I've read that I just needed to enable iGPU Multi-Monitor in the "secret" (Ctrl + Alt + F3 at setup screen) BIOS settings to allow the iGPU to function alongside IPMI on ASRock Rack boards but I'm having no luck. I've done this as pictured, but the iGPU will not show up in any Linux OS I've...

    QSF28 to QSFP+ connectivity?

    Is there such a thing? I'm asking because I have a switch with dual QSFP+ ports (40GbE) and am considering adding something like that Mikrotik CRS504 (4 x QSFP28) which I'd like to be able to connect to it. My guess is, if this is even possible, I'd only be able to get get 25GbE per QSFP+ port?

    9400-16e bottlenecking at 4GB/s?

    I'm currently running badblocks on 24 x 10TB SAS3 HDDs and seemingly running into a bottleneck that is limiting me to 4GB/s in aggregate io (see screenshot below). When I run badblocks on just a select few disks at a time I get upwards of 250+ MB/s per drive. The HBA is connected to a PCIe 3.0...
