huh, i just cross-flashed my Dell H200 to LSI latest firmware on my Supermicro X8 server board - card is working as expected - connected HDD to test and it shows up as expected. then i moved this card to my desktop board - older Asus H97-Plus, and card is not visible at all - heartbeat Led not blinking, bios show no card in this slot. i tried both x16 slots to no avail. i have tried another desktop board - asrock fatal1ty z77 professional-m, and result is the same. i tried this duct tape mod to cover pins 5 and 6 with electric tape - didn't help either.. so i'm stuck with that, any suggestion welcome Thanks

there is a BIOS 1.5 for your board. maybe worth a try? make sure you have latest BMC before you upgrade BIOS..

looks good. every company do they own cable coloring. in my experience red cables are usually reverse ones. but if they clearly states, then should be fine.

These red ones, are not they reverse breakout?

what kind of memory do you have? your mobo need Registered ECC RDIMM! it's a server ram, consumer mobos use unbuffered RAM - it will not work with your mobo.

is time in your server in sync?

Depends on hardware generation. i just setup AMD Epyc Rome server with 3200MHz DDR4 - work by default, a this is recommended and supported RAM speed for this system.

great info. i searched for this in unraid docs, but found nothing similar..

Yes, i think you cant compare them at all. yes, both are software raids, but that's all..

then choose simple Debian or other standard Linux distro. with unraid array you can have up to two parity disks in whole array. more: https://wiki.unraid.net/Parity with latest unraid version you can have multiple cache pools - in various BTRFS raid levels if multiple drives are used. so no option to build other standard software RAIDs.

sorry, unraid is not raid, so if you plan use these with unraid, then newest version is not for you. and with unraid you get less but bigger drives - therefore again unraid is not raid.

First, it's all about the bandwith available. it's a PCIe 2.0 x8 card, so about 4000MB/s available. if you connect 40 drives, then about 100MB/s available per drive IF all drives used at once.

@SimonF Seasonic please

as i wrote, 4 drives to one Molex.. this is very typical..

huh, i purchased Seasonic Prime Gold unit recently, but could not find where to get additional cables. i needed Molex ones.. and don't use cables from another manufacturer PSUs - you can fire your equipment..

That's is why larger rack cases comes with backplanes - for example SM 846 have 24 port backplane and you power it with just 6 Molex connectors for all 24 drives. this is very common - 4 drives per one Molex. if you have case with no backplane, then yes, you must use some power splitters - and use them with same - 4 drives to one Molex. Yes No! dual EPS12v are not so common, but there exists another splitter to make PCIe cable to CPU cable - many consumer PSUs come with much of PCIe cables.

this is why i'm choosing 4U SM case: - to place bigger and more silent fans - my last SM case was 743 Series (sadly will not fit your EE-ATX), swapped out middle fans for 12cm Noctuas, removed read fan. - to use standard ATX PSU - 743 came with ATX PSU, fan is not so loud. for 3U i see 836 only, but again - noise is an issue in my use-case.. and for EE-ATX boards you cant use ATX PSU - no room for that..

i have only experience with rack-mounts.. with Supermicro 846 series, you can go up to 24 drives, like this one https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/chassis/4U/846/SC846BE2C-R1K23B with 847 series you can go to 36 or 44 drives, but this is a bit overkill.. these ones will be out of your budget, you can go cheaper, but build quality can't be compared with SM ones.. see this one for example: https://www.inter-tech.de/en/products/ipc/storage-cases/4u-4424 i recently got their 16-bay version, it just works, but as i said, SM ones is a different league..

what is your budget? how many disks would you like to connect?

there is mistake, i wrote it already. you should use https

let start again - show your docker log file, and then mapped ports

if you have just default config with port mapping as above in pic, then WebUI should be accessible with https://IP:466

looks like you misconfigured your paths. from my docker page, all paths below - it's a container side paths. Volumes required for persistant storage: home/node/meshcentral/meshcentral-files home/node/meshcentral/meshcentral-data Optional volumes: home/node/meshcentral/meshcentral-backup home/node/meshcentral/meshcentral-web

and then please post your Meshcentral config file. looks like you defined https only, so webui should be available on port 466.

show your port mapping!
