Hi All. Unraid newb. I thought I was ready to start transferring date to my new array - BUT...
I picked up the RocketStor 6418s, a RocketRaid 2722 Controller, and two mini-SAS cables for a song.
Flashed the controller into its “IT Mode”. Quickly learned it has a Marvell controller and, while it worked, was causing too many correctable errors. During testing I noticed the HDD temps were getting in the 51-54C range.
I picked up an LSI 9207-8e. Errors gone. Temps the same.
I realized the two fans in the enclosure do not turn on. They are connected, and the work (they perform an initial spin up when powering on the enclosure), but no matter what I try, the fans just don’t spin and I’ve yet to find any sort of function to indicate at what temp they should start.
Ive tried with the original card. I even flashed it back to raid mode. Nothing seems to get the enclosures fans to kick in.
Sorry, I know this is a very specific question. I feel like a bit of an idiot right now as I’ve spent the last few weeks putting all of this together from scratch, and I didn’t even notice the temperatures until I bought everything.
thanks for any suggestions!
