I was totally astonished/overjoyed just now when I was updating a X10SRL-F to the latest Bios ... SM silently added bifurcation support for non Xeon-D x10 boards... - just had to share

Which bios version did you use? I think most boards got support for bifurcation with the spectre microcode updates.Crazy, as they didn't give a crap about supporting bifurcation on my X10DRL-CT
I'm on the latest BIOS. Most of the boards did get it and I mentioned that to Supermicro and they gave me the preverbial shrug.Which bios version did you use? I think most boards got support for bifurcation with the spectre microcode updates.
You may want to test that again with an updated BIOS, while it is not the exact same platform, I just confirmed that 4 pm953 disks to work in an X10DRi motherboard, via an Asus Hyper M.2 X16 v2 card.Crazy, as they didn't give a crap about supporting bifurcation on my X10DRL-CT. Actually one of the last things that moved me away from Supermicro.![]()
Thank you! Also, do you know anything about X10DRX? I read the manual, but can't get if it supports bifurcation an all slots or only on 6Hello @Raice o/
For the X10SRL-F the user manual states that slots 3, 4, 5, 6 & 7 support bifurcation on page 77 section 4-11.
For the X10DRi the User Manual states that 3 ports are configurable in BIOS section IIO0 ( page 78 , 4-8) and a further 3 in IIO1 ( page 82 , 4-12). The slot numbers are not explicitly stated as far as I can see. IIO0 is likely referring to CPU1 and IIO1 to CPU2. The board has only 6 slots so that would mean all of them are configurable. CPU1 is connected to Slots 1, 2, 3 and CPU2 to slots 4, 5, 6 .
Good luck and best regards
