    10G-SFPP-T slow in one direction

    Has anyone messed with the 10G-SFPP-T modules that allow you to use a regular 10G SFP+ port to link at 2.5/5G? I'm having an issue where it's very slow in one direction only. iperf3 2.5G side -> 10G side 1.8Gbit 10G side -> 2.5G side 180Mbit I've replaced the cables, and tried 2 different...

    2020 IPMI update for X9 boards! No more Java popup.

    It appears that all X9 boards use a common BMC firmware, based on release notes for various versions, and diff-ing binaries for totally different boards. But for some reason they only post the latest version for certain ones. I just found SMT_X9_362.zip, updated on 7/15/2020! Looks like it has...

    Windows detects U.2 NVMe drives as removable/external

    Anyone have a fix? Tons of searching only brings up TreatAsInternalPort under storahci, no solutions for NVMe. I don't like the drives showing up in the safely remove hardware menu, but more importantly they are using Bitlocker To Go on them, which do not automatically unlock at boot, only at...

    Correct rom for fake 9270cv-8i

    Bought it on ebay as a 9270CV-8i. It has PCI IDs for a 9265-8i. Most likely originally a NEC N8103-152 due to the tiny sticker on the back, but there's very little info out there on that card. Right now, it won't let me adjust most of the settings. I just get an error message "the requested...

    Supermicro boards - why do they POST so slowly?

    Normally not much of an issue, but I had a massive headache last night where I kept having to restart into DOS, UEFI shell, Linux, over and over. Why the heck do these boards take so long to POST? Is there any setting I'm missing that will speed things up?

    Intel S2600STB - $600 OBO

    Selling my Intel S2600STB due to incompatibility with ES/QS CPUs. Bought new a few months ago and tested working with Xeon Gold 5115 QS, but I wanted more cores than that. <1 hour total power on time. Fits nicely in Supermicro SC836, even though SM doesn't state compatibility with SSI EEB - all...

    CNVi Wireless... Impossible to upgrade now?

    Just learned about this new "improved" wifi interface recently when trying to upgrade the wifi in my new laptop. Apparently now the wifi chipset is integrated with the CPU. I currently have an Intel AC 9560 card, that I'm trying to swap out for an AX201. Both are CNVi cards, but the laptop won't...

    Intel S2600STB - Cannot downgrade BIOS over IPMI

    Has anyone been able to downgrade the BIOS on an Intel S2600ST? I'm trying to get a ES CPU working, but keep getting POST code F7. The IPMI flash seems to succeed, but still shows the same BIOS version afterwards.

    FS: SuperMicro MCP-220-00023-01 2.5 HDD Tray

    Bought this for my 836, but it wouldn't fit in the left slot, only the center slot where I want to keep the USB/serial ports. I have an older revision chassis, maybe it fits in the newer ones? $15 shipped.

    Does anyone have experience using QAT with IPSec? I'm running VyOS (Debian based) on a SuperMicro 5018A-TN4. Getting nowhere finding drivers to enable the QuickAssist functions in the processor.

    RDMA slow in one direction.

    I'm having a strange issue with SMB over RDMA. The file transfer is very slow on one direction only, and only when initiated by the client. Connection is between Windows 10 and Server 2016, 40GbE with Mellanox ConnectX-3 cards. If I do the file copy from the Windows 10 computer, it's very slow...

    Are there 2.5GBase-T SFP+ modules?

    Just picked up some 802.11ax access points that have 2.5G ethernet. Are there any SFP+ modules that will plug in to a 10G port and negotiate down to 2.5G? Or does the switch have to provide support for that? I'm running ICX6610s at both houses and make full use of the 10G and 40G ports, would...
