I just got 3 x S2600WTT motherboards with 2x E5-2696 V4 each. I just build one of them and no video output or boot, I then placed my old E5-2650 V3 processors and it does boot and I have video signal, I updated to Bios Latest Version (1.01.3029) that seems to add Processors compatibility also...

This is very odd. The system worked fine before with 8x 64GB 2400 LRDIMM, and 1x Epyc 7532. When I plugged in the second cpu, no matter what I do including power cycles and cmos clears, the board always gets stuck in post code A7. Swapping sockets had no effect. Any ideas?

So I have two Supermicro servers, a 1U and a 4U. I just want to reduce the noise a bit. It's mostly the fan wall that is in them. Ideally I'd like to replace them with a quiet fan like Noctuas. I'm not worried about the power supplies at the moment, it's mainly the fan walls I want to get...

Hey all, Hope everyone is having a great week so far. I have been reading STH for some time but never had anything to contribute as most people here are much more knowledgeable than me, In fact, I have 0 IT background. So, this is my first post on this lovely forum, I hope I don't break too...

Hello STH, I recently bought a 12xLFF backplane detached from the DL380P with a SAS expander chip. When I tried to connect it to the LSI 9207-8i I used before, I found that after entering Windows Server 2016, only one of the 6 hard drives I inserted was recognized. The strange thing is that in...

The seller of an item I want doesn’t do international shipping, so I’m looking for someone in the US that might help me to reship it to Europe. Kind of ASAP. If anyone had positive experience with a reshipping company, please suggest one — the majority do seem shady to me, from vague monthly...

Hello, I want to try my hand at developing a repair ticket management and inventory system. This would be for a demo project for one of my courses. I have used products like RepairQ and RepairDesk, and this project will have similar functionality to those platforms. I have noticed that...

So I am a college student and for a project, I am very interested in whether or not there is ANY way for me to apply port security settings to the ports of an unmanaged switch. I realized that unmanaged switches do not have any sort of interface in which to naturally do this, unlike managed...

Quick question, how do you add a profile picture on the STH forums. I seem to only be able to set the cover background. Cheers, Bryan

Hey there STH community, I watched the 288 Fiber Housing video and really enjoyed it. I noticed there was some technology I wasn't familiar with. I have the CompTIA trifecta along with a CCNA, but those certifications covered things like MTP/MPO fiber technology. What certification might...

So in need of help with this SuperMicro server X10DRU-i+ | Motherboards | Products | Super Micro Computer, Inc. I’ve been googling about booting from an NVME and found this article - FAQ Entry | Online Support | Support - Super Micro Computer, Inc. It seems I have to set the PCI-E slots to EFI...

I haven’t used a powervault before. I got this one for very cheap and I am not sure if that was because it is bad. On boot the controllers light up the battery indicator, and it runs like that for 5 mins and then the battery light turns off and the fans ramp up to full power. Also the MDSM...

I just recently purchased the MikroTik CRS354-48G-4S+2Q+RM switch to expand my server's networking capabilities. However I have seem to run into compatibility issues. The switch wiki says it only supports transceivers/cables made by MikroTik, I already bought cables from FS.com and I can't find...

Hi guys, I recently acquired a few U.2 NVMe SSDs which I intend to add to my CSE-829U X10DRU-i+ System. I connected them to AOC-SLG3-2E4 adapter card, and only then did I realize that there is not a single SATA power port on the motherboard. Nor could I find a molex connector. Now, supermicro...

Recently (Some days ago) I started researching about servers and cloud services because of a cloud gaming project that I want to do, but I don't know where I start learning about servers and cloud services. I liked this website, but I think this site is more focused on reviewing and these...

Case was solved by adding a second CPU. --- Hi, I own a Supermicro X9DBU-iF board (up-to-date BMC/BIOS) with a rsc-r1uu-ue16 riser. I am trying to make it detect an Intel XL710-BM1 Quad-Port 10G SFP+ PCIe 3.0 x8 NIC and/or an Intel 82599ES Dual-Port 10G SFP+ PCIe 2.0 x8 (up to date firmware)...
