If you confirm disk can't detect anymore, pls check does the protection diode in short circuit. This need some electronic skill. Those are one of common hardware failure and easy to fix. https://community.spiceworks.com/t/identifying-location-of-tvs-diode-on-wd-gold-hdd/799956

You should change ASUS router be 192.168.0.xx, not make change on existing network equipment.

That's good you have insight to connect more connecter pin for power draw.

Series 3 16i seems little bit trouble. I use one 93004i4e with expander to connect all disks. So I need 12gb and fade out all series 2 hba.

I don't think it relate ASPM, it is something wrong on HBA. Both controller on HBA non-operational. It try to reset the controller ( watch dog ), but not bring up. mpt3sas_cm1: basefault_reset_work: Running mpt3sas_dead_ioc thread success !!!!

Does two blue plug cable also missing wire on that hole ? I would expect one will have black wire there, and once that cable plug-in then PSU would work. If above were true, that means the "black sense" need short to black wire.

I haven't deeply go through the manual, but APC doc's always not detail. Most cable are USB only, but the RJ50 port may support USB+Serial, my old rack APC UPS have DB9 COM port and RJ50 port, you can use Serial in either DB9 COM port or RJ50 port, but USB only on RJ50. That's not if have DB9 COM, then RJ50 is USB only. That's why I said if use common cable ( USB only ) haven't detect thr USB device then it is connection issue. There a question does OP's UPS RJ50 port also support Serial+USB or USB only or Serial only.

Actually, APC most common cable are USB to RJ50 ( it look like RJ45 but has 10 pin instead 8 pin ), it support USB and Serial in same RJ50 port. But different UPS model will be different, and smt750rm2uc should have stranded RJ45 network port ( most right side ) it native support Ethernet access. If you can found UPS in USB device list then it is not connection issue, otherwise you need try different cable to got UPS detect first.

What plug type in cable end which connect to new UPS ? RJ45 ? For smt750rm2uc, it look like you should use type A to type A USB cable.

You should provide the diagnostic file for legacy & UEFI mode, so others may found out why problem happen. You shouldn't jump to conclude the controller ( ASM1166 ) work in legacy mode only. In general, storage controller will work with Unraid if Unraid have their driver, you no need care about booting in lagacy or UEFI . And no need care does during POST or BIOS showing the disk. Unraid OS are store in USB disk, you only need care about does USB disk success booting. Below are one of long thread which talking about what controller support. Unraid would work without GPU ( of course you can't check / change BIOS setting ). After Unraid boot-up, you can manage remotely.

There are no problem.

Yes, this could avoid DIY. But they usually not provide all wire set. You need purchase yourself.

Yes, this usually fine. The main problem are Molex not suitable for handle too much power, the metal are thin and connection also not strong, that's same reason as we found heavy house appliances always not recommend use plug and socket. This not true, for 24 disks, this need ~280w. Higher rating power supply wont help. The key point are how we properly and safe enough delivery the power to device.

Yes, this should be most accepted case, one molex for 4 device

As reply, this not an ideal topology, if you can't DIY then not much you can do. Molex plug / socket not design to handle too much loading.

Yes The "correct" way was joint the 4 wire and then split to 6 molex plug. Molex use 4 wire, so you will have 4 joint and each joint have 10 wire ( 4 in and 6 out ). This will equally share the loading to 4 wire, as result minmize the voltage drop.

Not an ideal topology. But with Seasonic Focus GX-750W power supply, you basically haven't any choice, it have 3 SATA power socket only.

The config look like noraml, pls ensure Ethernet link was up ( check the LED ) or boot in safe mode and provide the diagnostic.

This is my 2nd time try to add Matter device to HA docker. In 1st time try (1yrs ago). Install docker "Matter server" and assign it to "Host network" Enable IPv6 and modify some forwarding setting. I haven't setup standalone Thread network, the thermostat joint the WiFi AP as usual, and HA in another VLAN. Due to some reason, I have return that device, so no any Matter device afterward. Below are the previous post which relate to this. Today, I buy Meross smart thermostat, but I realized I was wrong that it support HomeKit or Google Home ( need extra hardware / hub ). So, the only way was connect it through Matter with HA. 😡 Due to I don't want run Matter server on separate Host network and enable IPv6. I try something as below implementation ( left side path ). But with whole day trying still not success. So I need back to Matter-server route. Quite interesting this time, I don't need enable IPv6 and setup Matter server in same IoT VLAN were success. There no need complicated setting and it just work. Matter device also connect to same LAN / VLAN ( WiFi ). Install docker Matter-server in same LAN / VLAN. Install add-on Matter in HA and set it to connect Matter-server "ws://192.168.68.23:5580/ws" Request the pairing code from commissioning app. That's all Below are the log of Matter-server, those error not critical.

You should edit eth0 setting instead of delete/add routing table.

Usually doesn't matter, but best use USB 2.0 port. Pls confirm USB boot is enable, and assign it is 1st boot device EFI folder no "-"

Also try disable secure boot and fast boot.

Pls check does docker network setting fullfil CIDR definition. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/7.0.0/#issues-using-docker-custom-networks Issues using Docker custom networks If certain custom Docker networks are not available for use by your Docker containers, navigate to Settings → Docker and fix the CIDR definitions for the subnet mask and DHCP pool on those custom networks. The underlying systems have gotten more strict and invalid CIDR definitions which worked in earlier releases no longer work.

It looks cool. 👍

I am not sue does BTRFS does perfect access on Windows (install proper SW), I use BTRFS always. You can made some test for final decision, clear and format disk just on the fly usually.
