Turns out the power distribution board is dead. I bought a power supply tester and when I plugged the 24 pin connector from the Supermicro chassis into it, I got nothing. I tried this with a regular ATX power supply and it lit up.I then connected a regular ATX power supply to the board in the...

What tools would I need to do this?

There is no indication that it's doing anything, from what I remember it should power on immediately. There are no lights on the board, nothing, it's just dead and unresponsive.

I have an Asrock EP2C602 motherboard that was working in an older SuperMicro 36 bay chassis. I removed the board to try and see if a smaller board would work, it did not. I removed any extra standoffs and now the EP2C602 will not power on. The power button on the chassis has never worked so I am...

Hey guys haven't been here in a loong time, missed this place. Trying to get a motherboard going in a case in which it worked fine before, not sure what the issue is now though but it simply won't power up. I had removed it from the Supermicro 36 bay chassis to put another board in but I was...

I also have data duplicated on another server.

My backup server currently has this much in total storage, you can also see how much I've used and got left, it's running unRAID.

I have a 36 bay supermicro chassis with SAS2 backplanes and expander. I am using a single Dell H310 flashed to IT mode, can I mix SAS and SATA drives? Right now I have only SATA drives but I am getting a good deal on some SAS drives and want to know if I can use them.

Supermicro chassis 36 bay chassis 107TB SSG-6047R-E1R36N Intel S5500HCV server motherboard 2X Xeon E5620 2.4GHz 48GB ECC RAM Dual redundant 1400w power supplies Dell H310 running Dell IT firmware 30 hard drives of varying sizes 27 for data, 2 for parity and one as a cache drive 9x WD30EFRX...

Got my Dell H310, flashed it with Dell IT firmware, added my second parity disk back and its almost halfway done a parity check/sync, time will tell.

Looks like there is a major incompatability with this SAS2LP HBA and the supermicro backplane. I came into my office yesterday morning to find error messages on the console of the monitor attached to the server with errors like: Error:PD Not Ready or Unknown Device Type [FAILED] and bunch of...

So the parity check passed, the 8TB drive that had been my second parity disk completed one preclear pass without any issues. It turns out that guys in the unRAID forums believe my parity check speeds have to do with the fact that I was using an i5 2500 before that has faster single thread...

This is the chassis that I have, not the motherboard, mine is an older dual socket 1366 intel board. I got it on Ebay here in Canada with the board, dual quad core Xeons, 52GB of ECC RAM, 24 matching drive sleds, and 6 extras for just over $800 CAN including shipping...

These are all the drives and devices in my server according to unRAID, as you can see there are two entries for the enclosure that list SAS2: [0:0:0:0] disk Lexar JumpDrive 1.00 /dev/sda 8.02GB [1:0:0:0] disk ATA WDC WD30EFRX-68A 0A80 /dev/sdb 3.00TB [1:0:1:0]...

I can't move the drives to another backplane, I have 30 drives and the front 24 slots are full. I could move the rear backplane cable to another port in case I damaged the one port I have been using. I am attaching a diagram of the backplanes as I have them connected. Also, don't you think if I...

I am uploading unRAID diags after I rebooted, it indeed looks like my second parity drive has failed, however the failed data disk looks ok.

Ever since I got my Supermicro server I've been having issues. I am running the latest version of unRAID on it and I had to move the HBA to an 8x slot, in doing so the cable connected to the rear backplane was barely long enough so there was a lot of tension on it, this caused issues and I had...

I got the server got it up and running, I am using a single SAS2LP HBA to support 30 drives, its running ok, but the parity check on unRAID is slow with speeds no faster then 60MB/s so its taking two days to run on my 107TB array. Before on my old server I was using an Areca 16 port SATA RAID...

Good advice, I will heed it!

It turns out Supermicro tech support is very friendly, even to those like me, who want to buy their gear used. According the tech who's been emailing me, I should be good with my SUPERMICRO AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 card to get all 36 drives to show up as JBOD, he explained the connectors on the backplane...

I am looking at getting a Supermicro 6047R-E1R36N but I have zero familiarity with Supermicro. The board inside the system is apparently a DA0S50MB8D which seems to be a decent but older dual xeon board, it comes with two quad core CPU's and 52GB of RAM, no drives but 24 sleds. I want to run it...

Have you looked at unRAID? Its currently in beta rc3 but its now supports two parity drives and has supported BTRFS for sometime. It's not free, but worth the money in my opinion.

Man I remember almost twenty years ago buying my first 1GB drive and i thought THAT was a lot. I know, there are people on here older than me who remember buying a 5MB hard drive, lol.

I have a mix of Synology's, Qnap's and PC's running unRAID. I used to swear by the brand name NAS"s until I built a few unRAID boxes which are fantastic. Both have their pro's and cons, it really depends on what you want. The Drobos are proprietary, so if you pull a drive out of it, you can't...

I'm trying to free up space on a clients SBS 2011 server and have found 50GB of files in the Temp folder in the Windows directory. It seems to be mostly full of cab files that are all the same file size, 116,165KB anyone ever seen this? Can I delete these?

I have several brand name NAS's from Synology and QNap, I also have three servers running unRAID which btw is not free whereas Freenas and NAS4FREE are. I used to only recommend brand name NAS's but now I see the flexibility of rolling your own. I personally prefer unRAID, it does every thing I...

Many products claim a lot of things, I have not heard or read of one instance where a ransomware infection was stopped by AV. I also have an aversion to Kaspersky products as I find them incredibly intrusive and aggressive, perhaps they have changed and gotten better. Thanks though.

I have a sperate VMWare server with its own storage so I am not using this in any way with that environment.

I have posted this server before but recently added another external cage, its now up to 100TB running UnRaid 6.2 beta with several dockers with 45.7TB of useable space, 29 hard drives of varying space in total, using onboard SATA, a 16 port Areca and a SUPERMICRO AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 8 port controller.

Looking for a program I can install on a Windows (2008R2) file server that will monitor file changes, so if a crypto malware or ransomware attach occurs and starts encrypting files at fast rate, I will get an email alert. I know you can achieve this with built in auditing but you have to...

I believe it is, Smart UPS 1500, should be interesting.

Just found this though.

Does anyone know if the older APC Smart UPS 1500's, the black ones with nothing fancy on the front but the two round buttons and row of vertical lights on either side, can you swap the batteries while the unit is live and plugged into power? Or do you have to shut them down and unplug them?

I've got four in my UnRaid backup server and they have been running fine the past two months, server is on 24/7. I always do one pre clear pass on my drives when I buy them before I deploy them, its a plugin available on UnRaid and it does a pre read, zero then post read on a drive, you can do...

Its a gamble, chkdsk could correct things, it could also find even more bad sectors. I would first try to copy what you can off of it, then try chkdsk and see what happens.

I think we found the culprit, a setting in the custom application, will know for sure tomorrow. Thanks

I have a server that is a virtual machine under VMware 5.1 running Server 2012R2, its a terminal server that 20 or so users connect to, they run office 2013 and a custom application. Lately we have noticed that the CPU is running at 99-100% for prolonged periods, it appears to be the custom app...

So the problem as I see it is that the source is likely and MBR disk and your clone is a GPT disk, redo the clone and make sure your target is an MBR and it should work. The DISKPART command is telling you it only works on MBR disks and since yours is a GPT, it can't work.

I am selling an older model Qnap NAS that I have had for six years, its a six bay model TS-639 PRO. It has never failed me however it does have some limitations where todays large drive sizes are concerned. The maximum single volume size it supports is 16TB. If you want to put larger than 5TB...
