unraid 6.1.9 just ran 'lspci' and found it 81:00.0 Ethernet controller: Mellanox Technologies MT26448 [ConnectX EN 10GigE, PCIe 2.0 5GT/s] (rev b0) ran 'lspci -n found the card and the id needed so im gonna try putting that into the flash and see what happens after a reboot... its a learning curve Syslinux configuration: append pci-stub.ids= thanks for all your help ^^ i was just curious about the pin's , hmm wonder if i can mount a 40mm noctura to the heatsink and power that seperately

both as i am considering getting a 2port card to put into the freenas. havent tested the cards win -> win bare metal systems yet. got lots to do atm. considering testing ubuntu server with zfs. hoping anyone here can shed some light on how to set these cards up in unraid tho. did you get yours to work ok after all the fuss in freenas? what was the speeds like?

picked up my cards LOT of 2 for $36 + $20postage to the u.k i think that was a bargin, used 5m cable was about $28 in the uk. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182076137891?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT mine came with low profile , i might throwm them up on ebay ^^ its dremel time with an spare pci bracket.... my question is there's small white 3pin header at the top of the card, is that for a fan ?

sorry i should had more depth to the previous post. running win10 pro64 on my gaming rig. cards were seen and able to config them easily as an extra NIC in windows. i put them to a different subnet just for upload to my server. i was able to update them both in windows 10 via the command prompt as administrator. they arent being seen in my freenas server (micro-x11ssh) my main storage for media. so i cant help there and given up trying ot get them to work. Apparently freebsd10+ has them working so i assume freenas10 will..... but ths is unraid forums ^^ naughty naughty. i havent tested unraid yet i need to dig up the cli commands again. (had my headache with switching different OS's in the past 2 days. if unraid sees them via CLI i will be a step further. having 2nd thoughts about using unraid my main storage nas atm, simply because 11hrs to do a parity check means this server isnt gonna be switched off much. (currently running on the asrock dual e5-2670 ive recently finished- will be posting update on that soon as i can tomorrow) also have a 5m cisco DAC passive sfp+ cable in place ready. spare 250gb sam evo 840 ready for unraid testing. and a 850 model in my gaming rig too. hoping to hit some good speeds

just a quick one: here's the step-by-step guide how to find/check/update your firmware for the Mellanox cards. https://blog.workinghardinit.work/2013/10/07/upgrading-firmware-of-mellanox-roce-cards-for-final-windows-server-2012-rdma-testing/ and the offical firmware page for mellanox http://www.mellanox.com/page/firmware_table_ConnectX2EN really be scratching my head over these cards not showing up in unraid, so just flashed my card from 2.9.1000 -> 2.9.1200 hope it makes a difference but i doubt it. any guidence of them for unraid install? in short commands were mst status flint -d /dev/mst/mt26448_pci_cr0 query flint -d /dev/mst/mt26448_pci_cr0 -i C:/fw-ConnectX2-rel-2_9_1200-MNPA19_A1-A3-FlexBoot-3.3.400.bin burn

"plugin: wget: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Squidly271/community.applications/master/plugins/community.applications.plg download failure (Network failure) " is the host down maybe? just started a fresh install of unraid prior to playing around with it last month. Got my new hardware for the rebuild and do things right the first time approach... obivously i've screwed up or the host is messed up. waaaahh all i wanted is to get the Comm Apps up again. any help boss?
