So a note about the M.2 2242 slot. I actually used a u.2 converter and installed an Intel 900p 280GB drive.

@y2kbadbug Can you share which converter you used, and where you purchased it? A prior cursory search on my end only turned up Delock, and it appears they only sell in EU.
So I actually got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073WGN61Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It doesn't exactly fit "correctly", but I was able to get it to work and secure it, it just protrudes a little bit can can't be screwed in, but it was tight in the socket. Been using it over a month now though and it's working great. I use FreeBSD 12.

@y2kbadbug It should still work even if it protrudes, but depending on your case it might come loose. Is it possible for you to take a picture of how you secured it?
My 2288G was supported out of the box on a motherboard bought about 2 months ago. Unless someone gets super unlucky and gets old stock I doubt there would be any problems.
Does anybody know of fan control app for windows that works with the c246 chipset?
Now, they are sure ^^
So if you want to use an ASRock product you need to buy Supermicro accessory.
Asrock Oculink to 4 sata is available through OCuLink to 4 SATA Cable - CBL-SAST-0933| Shop SFP Products they also have the oculink to 8 sata. they are australian, and they will ship over seas
@Frozenstitches and @Speedster , did you managed to get the iGPU with 9th gen on the board working now? And does the IPMI keep on working after boot along side the iGPU?
I really want to buy this board but iGPU is mandatory for me with Tdarr.

Yes, I am using a Xeon E-2146G with the UHD P630 enabled. The BIOS setting for iGPU needs to be "Enabled" instead of Auto. IPMI KVM continues to work (I am using Ubuntu 20.04).
I am also using Intel GVT-g to create a virtual GPU from the Intel graphics to pass through to a VM so it can also use QuickSync Video
Thank you very much for this information! Ordering NOWYes, I am using a Xeon E-2146G with the UHD P630 enabled. The BIOS setting for iGPU needs to be "Enabled" instead of Auto. IPMI KVM continues to work (I am using Ubuntu 20.04).

Hi, desperately looking for assistance with my E3C246D2I . I am using it in a very similar configuration to others here:
- i3 9100
- 32GB RAM ECC
- 8 HDDs and 1 NVMe M.2 using SATA + Supermicro oculink 4x sata cable CBL-SAST-0933
- Silverstone DS380B and 700 watt SFX PSU
I am getting a very strange issue: I am always missing between 1 and 2 SATA devices in the BIOS as "not detected" usually sata1_sata3 or sata0 and sata 3. I believe these are the Oculink cable. Reboots cause the BIOS to randomly switch between detection of these devices. Sometimes, very briefly, it will even detect all 8 devices.
Jumper is set to SATA.
I just RMAed the motherboard and I'm still experiencing the issue. I am thinking this is, at this point, a problem with the Oculink cable or the Power Supply. I'm stumped. Any ideas?

according to the manual, the M.2 shares the lanes with the SATA_0,1,2,3 connector (oculink), so try booting without the M.2 drive and see if that resolves the issue
the block diagram indicates that the M.2 drive will leave the oculink with sata 0, 2, 3, if the m.2 is populated. you indicate that it's an nvme drive, however it might be in SATA mode, and that would be randomly knocking it out.
i'd take out the nvme drive and start from there.

Thanks for the reply. I am pretty sure this is not the issue. I removed the m.2 and still only see 7 drives still, and i am confident it's in pcie mode based on the settings and jumpers.
all I can guess now is PSU issue, but all the drives spin up. So not sure why this would be the case.

Hi! I also have the E3C246D2I motherboard and I'm running into memory issues as well, I installed a Xeon E3 1245 V5, one stick of KSM26ED8/16HD (which kingston says is supported) but I can't get it to post, it looks like a memory issue (Intel error code 55)
Do you happen to remember what power issue you did have and how did you solve it? I'd be forever greatful for any advice!
I'm using a brand new Corsair SF450 platinum, both the 8pin and 4pin (converted from 24pin) inserted.
Thanks a lot in advance!
