Hi, Been reading a bit on this topic because i got my hands on a new SuperMicro X12SDV-4C-SPT4F board which has a fairly new 4 core Xeon D 1700 cpu... i thought it might be a good low power unraid server... but i'm not quite seeing the "low power"-part which i had hoped :-/ My setup is basically: - X12SDV-4C-SPT4F (Xeon D-1718T, 4-cores) - 2x 64Gb RDIMM (Samsung M393A8G40AB2-CWE) - Small samsung NVMe, no drives otherwise - 10G SPF+ connected + BMC/IPMI RJ45 1Gbe connected, 10G Gbe disabled via jumper on motherboard - PicoPSU 160XT with LEICKE 150W brick The Shelly plug on the wall tells me it's drawing 36W idle... and peaking at around 53W during boot... i would have expected a lot lower than 36W, but i might be wrong here? First off, i'm only seeing C1, C1E and C6 states....and nothing else...is this normal for Xeon-Ds? I see most other Intel-cpus in this thread having quite a lot more possible states, but this might be a xeon-d thing? I've disabled turbo and a couple of other things in BIOS. But it doesn't really do anything to the powerconsumption... I'm a missing something important here or is Xeon D just not as efficient in idle as i had expected?

Hi, Had most likely a defective card. Had to flash a new one and made it work...sortof... because my two NVME's are missing. Usually they exists as "nvme01" and "nvme02" or something, but after the new install they are not there... They seem to be showing up under SystemDevices: ...so at least they didn't fall out of the machine entirely;-) But no nvme's in /dev: ...i've tried browsing the logs, but i can't seem to find anything usefull related to the missing nvme's, but maybe i'm looking in the wrong place? (I've attached the diagnotics.) nasty-diagnostics-20201214-1948.zip

...well, i think i found the original culprit. There was defently something wrong with the thumbdrive. Kept getting corrupted and then the image-tool started giving all sorts of errors when i tried flashing a clean new Unraid install. 6month old Samsung drive 😞 So it went flying and i am now using another thumb which flashes just fine... ...but.... i still get the errors on this fresh install. I'm losing my mind over this. This ran just fine before i did the stupid BIOS-flashing... what BIOS-setting can possible cause Unraid to behave like this? It's also waiting a long time for this: ...i'm guessing this is the cause for why there is not config from the thumb... just haven't got a clue on why i can boot from the drive but Unraid can't find it...seems counterintuitive to me to be honest...

Unfortunately it didn't change anything. The USB-stick still doesn't mount properly 😞 Any ideas for things to try?

Thank you for your reply! Just to clearify, i did the repair, but it didn't change anything 😞 I'll try your suggestion of the overwriting the bz-files, thanks...

Hello, I've been having issues with my NAS "kinda shutting down" suddenly. It kills the OS and the IPMI says that it is "off". But all hardware(disks, fans, leds etc) are kept on... there is no way out of this state except pulling the plug from the PSU. In trying to resolve this i tried a BIOS-upgrade. This made things even worse and Unraid wouldn't even boot, so i rolled back the BIOS. However, some time during this process i lost the settings in the BIOS and now i can't get unraid to boot properly. I can't figure out if it has something to do with a missing BIOS-setting or if something broke in my Unraid-install during one of these "not so nice"-shutdowns... The issue is that i CAN boot Unraid...sortof... i get the classic blue dialog during boot and it boots up. But it seems like something is wrong, all configuration is missing. In fact the /boot/config is missing almost everything. I'm having a hard time getting a diagnostic file of the system since i have no network and i'm a bit unsure how else to do it with "half an OS"... After reading through a couple of posts in here and a little of googling i tried pulling the usb-device and repairing and running the .bat file for making it bootable again. It didn't change anything. It did say something needed repair. But it didn't change anything during the boot 😕 When i look at the USB stick in windows i can see all the configuration files and stuff that it is complaining about during boot, e.g. "/boot/config/ident.cfg"... I've also been trying both UEFI and "legacy" booting with no apparent difference... Any clues? I'm thinking that there might be some sort of BIOS-setting that prevents Unraid from assigning the USB-stick or something... /Thomas

This would be awesome! Found a solution yet?

🤦‍♂️ I can't belive i missed that... I just grapped it from unraid.net today...i dont get how i managed to get such an old version 🤔 ...at least it was a easy fix! Thanks for the response! ...its not

Am i'm the only one not getting anything on the dashboard at all? As in no "GPU"-section whatsoever? I'm brand new to Unraid. So it is most likely something simple...do i need to do something for things to be added to the dashboard? Everything else works as expected(can do HW transcoding in Plex etc). nvidia-smi returns correct data(GTX1070 etc) and gpustat.cfg also looks good. I'm running 6.6.7... Ideas? /Thomas
