  1. It seems others have tried the hacked BIOS as well - http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1555868&page=7 and apparently the latest BIOS adds the hacked in functionality - http://forum.wegotserved.com/index.php/topic/16427-whs-on-hp-proliant-microserver/page__view__findpost__p__104300
  2. Thank you for the link, it seems to have worked fine
  3. Neil, I did in fact archive all the necessary files when I did this build last month, planning for just such a contingency. I will post it here when I get home from work. If I can't post it, I'll pm it. Aiden, would you be able to send me a link to the older BIOS please?
  4. No, thanks! That's almost laughable, I'll be using the older BIOS with the additions then, thanks for clarifying
  5. I see a new BIOS has been released: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=4248009&prodNameId=4310887&swEnvOID=4064&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=MTX-1e53a0c07635470487af219052 with a version/date of - 2011.01.17 (A) (28 Feb 2011). I'm wondering whether to put this latest BIOS on or use the September BIOS with the Russian forum's changes added on. As I doubt you can go backwards in BIOS releases if the Feb 2011 BIOS doesn't allow the setting of the Sata ports 5 and 6. Anyone able to clear this up?
  6. Hello all, I'm looking to check the components I'm thinking about buying will be suitable for an unRAID build (I'm UK based and will be using Scan to buy the bits): Asus M4A88T-M http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/asus-m4a88t-m-amd-880g-s-am3-pci-e-20-(x16)-ddr3-1866(oc)-sata-raid-matx-on-board-graphics AMD Sempron 145 http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/amd-sempron-145-sargas-core-s-am3-28ghz-1mb-cache-ht-4000mhz-45w-retail Fractal Design Define R3http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/fractal-design-define-r3-black-pearl-mid-tower-case-w-o-psu 2GB Corsair DDR3 XMS3 http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/2gb-corsair-ddr3-xms3-pc3-10666-(1333)-non-eccunbuffered-cl-9-9-9-24-150v 650W Corsair CMPSU-650TXUK http://www.scan.co.uk/products/650w-corsair-cmpsu-650txuk-tx-86-eff-sli-crossfire-37db-eps-12v-120mm-quiet-fan-single-rail Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro v2 http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/arctic-cooling-freezer-7-pro-v2-s1366-1155-1156-775-am3-am2plus-am2-939-up-to-130-watts At today's prices that's around £275, which would be the end of my budget. I have 2x 1.5tb, 1x 1tb, 1x 500gb and 2x 320gb drives, which I'll be upgrading to 2tb's when needed and funds allow. I've based the above loosely around the UK budget build, with a few updates due to being unable to source some of the older items. Any opinions or improvements on the above will be greatly appreciated.
