    ASrock Rack ROMED8-2T - Correct PCIE2 Selection Jumper settings and/or what cables to use OCU1 & OCU2 w/ U.2 Drives

    Not a stupid question :) ... but yep I did. The PSU is modular, added the two U.2s to one new / additional PSU cable with sata power plugs, and connected the one sata power plug per oculink>u.2 cable to its corresponding connector. The U.2 drives do also get warm, just aren't recognized by the...

    ASrock Rack ROMED8-2T - Correct PCIE2 Selection Jumper settings and/or what cables to use OCU1 & OCU2 w/ U.2 Drives

    Yeah, I had already set the link speed of OCU1 and OCU2 to PCIe Gen3 given the Micron / 9300 Pro's older PCIe 3.0 spec, but that didn't help unfortunately. So I'm thinking that either something might be off with the particular cables I have (i.e. they are not compatible with the board for some...

    ASrock Rack ROMED8-2T - Correct PCIE2 Selection Jumper settings and/or what cables to use OCU1 & OCU2 w/ U.2 Drives

    I must be doing this wrong because no matter how I set the PCIE2 Selection Jumpers for my ROMED8-2T board, I cannot see the two Micron 9300 Pro U.2 drives connected to the two OCU1 & OCU2 connectors on the board using two of these cables: PCIe Gen 4 16 GT/s OCulink (SFF-8611) to U.2 (SFF-8639)...

    Micron 5200/5300 Flash original FW to Dell/HPE/etc drives?

    I'm not at my desk right now but you can register for an account at Micron's site for free in 1-2 mins & then download those FW files directly.. I just did that a few days ago. Their registration workflow is a bit clunky and didn't work with an active adblocker but other than that no biggie

    What Oculink PCIe Gen4 cables to use for ASRock Rack ROMED8-2T & U.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 drives?

    I got an ASRock Rack ROMED8-2T motherboard and I might want to connect just to extra Intel U.2 5520 drives to it and since I haven't used the Oculink connectors the board has, I was thinking the easiest way might just be to use those. Does anyone have a recommendation for a specific cable to use...

    Micron 5200/5300 Flash original FW to Dell/HPE/etc drives?

    Does anyone know whether these older Micron 5X00 SATA SSDs can be cross-flashed with the original/stock Micron firmware if the drives came out of Dell/HPE ones and have slightly different product numbers (not the ****YY suffix afaik) or would one have to go down the rabbit hole trying to find FW...

    [FS][US-CA] SOLD - AMD Epyc 7443P Milan CPU, Unlocked - SOLD

    Sold, thanks for all the inquiries! I am selling my AMD EPYC 7443P CPU just taken out of my idling proxmox host. The CPU was purchased in 2022 by me directly from ProVantage as a HPE CPU Upgrade kit but never used as such / only in my AS Rock Rack system so is obviously unlocked. Price: $900...

    [FS][US-CA] Clearing out new & used Supermicro 1U systems, ships worldwide

    Same Q as LilTrublMakr had a couple of days ago.. I might be interested in a combo with a E3C246D4U2-2T (if you still have one of those) but can't reach out directly.. could you maybe PM me and we can take it from there? Thanks!

    EPYC 3rd Gen, Resizable BAR support

    Ha... just stumbled upon this while looking for a new bios version for my ROMED8 motherboard. I wonder if the inquiry triggered some internal curiosity:

    EPYC 3rd Gen, Resizable BAR support

    I've reached out to William of ASRock USA, he checked back with their bios development team and got this answer: So no Resizable BAR for SP3 :-/

    PCIe Gen 4 bifurcation risers and NVMe SSDs

    One more question: did the cards come with both, the full height and half height brackets?

    PCIe Gen 4 bifurcation risers and NVMe SSDs

    Quick question here: are you running these AOC-SLG4-4E4T-O card(s) in a Supermicro board or in i.e. an Asrock Rack one and/or do you know, if they are somewhat locked to SM boards? I am currently looking for an easy way to use four U.2 (albeit Gen3/Intel P4510) drives in an AsRock Rack ROMED8-2T...

    ASRock Rack ROMED8-2T Motherboard has thousands critical_interrupt BMC event log entries?

    Good evening @jpmomo, nice hearing from you again! I have figured out last night what the culprit was with the error messages above: while the Aorus card is PCIe 4.0 and the PCIe slot I had used it in also was set to Auto (and to Gen4 manually sometimes inbetween), one of the m.2 NVME drives on...
