Thanks for another great video, they're really helpful and explained well. However, I have one big problem with this one that I can't resolve. Everything went fine and I setup with own domain / sub domains but I can no longer login to Nextcloud? It's sits for about 20 seconds and then reports 'Wrong username or password'? I know the password is correct (I've checked through saved login details on laptop browser to double check username and p/w. I can also see the password in the config file that you alter in this video). I have tripled checked everything is spelled correctly when altering the config and conf files as I did find another user having this problem but they had spelt something wrong. At a total loss now. Is it something to do with config file in Nextcloud having the variable 'dbuser' => 'nextcloud' ? I was assuming this is more to do with actual install and share name rather than a user? I only had one setup under admin for my Nextcloud instance but that and the password just won't let me in.

As an update to this William at Asrock has sorted the problem straight off! If anyone else has similar it looks like the shipped BIOS version is too low to support the newer refreshed Coffee Lake-S CPU's. You can check your version off the small sticker on the actual motherboard. Was fairly straight forward to sort. Logged in through IPMI, went to maintenance and update BIOS. Chose the custom 2.21A BIOS update that was previously posted to this thread. Server then booted with no problems. For good measure I also updated the BMC after this to 1.80 from Asrock website. Early days but all hardware, memory storage and fans all seem to be correct and in order. Now the fun of trying to build first Unraid server begins! If this helps anyone in future all thanks need to go to William for the super quick help and simple to follow support.

Thank you. Had seen that but unfortunately have had no luck. Annoyingly I have the exact same memory modules as mentioned by the other users on page 12 but have tried resetting CMOS and putting each stick in the A2 slot just to get to BIOS even once to reflash but no such luck. Hesitant to email William at Asrock who's mentioned in this thread, seems wrong to bother chap directly just because his email has been posted on a forum. I have posted email to general support at Asrock but just received areply to contact seller first. That's gonna be problem as board was hard to find over here in England and ended up getting off small scale seller throuh eBay.

Thanks for the tips, I appreciate this isn't really place to be asking all this so thanks for the help. Unfortunately I can't get into bios. I've tried F2 / delete on bootup with no luck. It shows an IP address when ethernet cable in ipmi port but won't connect to it. (Assuming I'm trying correctly as I've never used ipmi before). I assume it's just case of browsing that IP through pc browser at http://xxx.xxx.x.xx ? Just tells me it's unreachable. You say it sat forever, perhaps I need to leave it for a very long time at this stage? Longest I've left it is approx ten mins before giving up. Just had battery out for last half hour to make sure CMOS reset. Booted with only one ram and CPU. Still same problem. But one other thing did happen. Just before during intel reference code execution (motherboard was showing code 13 at time) it powered off and rebooted itself and then stopped again at same old problem.

Actually says in board specification at start of manual there is a 1 pin jumper? Anyways I've been pulling the battery but only for about 1 or 2 minutes each time with no luck but now perhaps it's cos I haven't actually cleared it each time? Argh. If 1 min is enough to clear it I'm at a total loss now if it's motherboard or memory up the spout. I'm assuming if it's cpu problem would be easier to spot? I've unplugged everything including keyboard, case fans etc. Only thing in is cpu, CPU fan and one of the sticks of memory. I've tried each stick singularly in each slot at various attempts. Always just hangs at south bridge initialization. I need a beer.

Sorry this is not strictly unraid problem here but I've finally (after much delay) finished getting the build together I mentioned earlier in the post but have a problem with the E3C246D4U motherboard and wondered if someone could point in right direction. Hitting a problem on boot with the DXE South bridge initialization? It sits forever at this stage with code 72 on the screen (which I believe is just the initialization stage starting) and error code 11 on the board itself which is in the memory range. I've unplugged everything, even fans on motherboard, just to leave cpu and memory. I've got two dimms and tried both even each one singular in each slot. (If I boot with none it throws up error earlier in boot process saying no memory found). However, what is my main problem is how the hell on earth do you clear the CMOS on this board? Don't laugh but can't find a jumper anywhere! it's not labelled on board diagram in manual and can't see anything labeled CMOS, cncl or anything similar on board itself?? (It's hard to fully see clearly with cpu cooler and everything else in way). I can try all sorts but unless I can clear this it's probably not helping. Im obviously being thick as hell but it's absolutely stumped me. Any help appreciated with other owners of this board! Please.

That's good to hear and makes sense. Think I will just go for it as I can't find any other mATX motherboard with the features and 8 SATA ports to fit my smallish build plan. I have a spare Quadro P2000 I will put in if all else fails but was going to get shot of it as it seemed overkill and rely solely on the CPU. Thanks for the help. Looking forward to building first UnRaid server. Finances willing!

Thanks for the clarification, good to know the exact situation. Only worry I have about this is how much support is the modified BIOS going to receive moving forward? No other problems seem to be raising their head but I'm worried that some future fix we all need will only be made on official BIOS release and not the custom one and we lose quicksync? To be fair contact at Asrock seems on the money and above and beyond helpful. Do we know if they are planning to roll quicksync into official firmware?

Hello I'm considering the E3C246D4U motherboard to pair with a Xeon E-228G but have two queries after reading through this thread: 1. Does quicksync only work with the custom 2.10A firmware mentioned or is it working in the officially available 2.30 firmware? If the official firmware is used do you have to choose whether to use only quicksync or only ipmi? 2. The high temps being mentioned with custom firmware - are these just incorrect sensor readings or is the firmware actually affecting the fans and causing high temps? Thanks.
