Will this work on the X9SCM-F with BIOS 2.0a too? Would be nice if this could be done with a UPS.

Thanks Joe, I guess I am out of luck then. I have a Supermicro X9SCM-F. I haven't seen that option in the BIOS. Not even S3.

In QNAP and Thecus NASes I can set-up a schedule to power off and power on the NAS at certain times. Is this at all possible in Unraid? I can probably set a cron job to call the powerdown script but power up will be impossible then. So it should be putting the server to sleep and waking up then?

Could you give me the exact procedure how to flash a M1015 on a X9SCM? Incl. BIOS and motherboard settings.

The EX470 will only see 4 drives in a TR5M I think. Did you have 4 drives in the EX470? Did you check the syslog?

Were all drives detected in WHS? Does the EX470 also have an Intel processor? Or is it AMD based. As far as I know the four internal SATA-ports on my machine are four channels on the ICH8 chip.

I still have an EX490 that is my first unraid experience. Just put an unraid stick, that I prepared on my laptop, in one of the USB-ports on the back and it booted without a problem. Never changed a BIOS-setting. Even 3 TB drives worked, and the eSATA-port too. I had a Sans Digital TR5M on it and all five drives worked as data and cache drives. The server was upgraded with an E5800 CPU and 4 GB DDR2.

I'd like to flash a M1015 on a X9SCM-F, but so far no succes. I tried EFI-shell for the sas2flash part. I can do the first 3 steps of the Madburg zip. But the 5it step just gives and error about chip in reset state and attempting host boot failed. Can someone please help?

The card had the original IBM M1015 firmware on it and was erased. Now when I try to flash the IT firmware (P11) I get the error shown above.

If your Zalman case is like most other cases, these rails are simple punch-outs and folds of the steel side panels - you should bend them flat before attempting to install your drive cages. The normal method for unRAIDers, is to use a large G-clamp to flatten them. If you look back up this thread, you can see my photo with the clamp in action. Do all 12-bay cases need this flattening-procedure? Or are there cases that can do without?

How tight is the fit? Can't these rails be removed?

Are these rails for 5,25" all the way from top to bottom or just in the upper compartment? How many cse-35t are you using in the ms-1000?

Hi, Can you please exactly describe how you did that. Which BIOS version? Which sas2flash.efi version. I have a X9SCM-F but keep getting a chip is in RESET state, trying to boot host error.

I tried that too with this result: What am I doing wrong?

Will the Zalman Ms-1000 hold the CSE-M35T 5in3? Will 3 of them fit?

Which sas2flash.efi version and which X9SCM BIOS do you use?

Succes! I just flashed 2 M1015 cards to IT mode with madburgs scripts using a EVGA X58 Classified. Which firmware does the LSI 2008 need for 3 TB support and how to update to this new firmware? Can such a update be done on any motherboard and possibly in a unraid/slackware telnet session?

The DFI LT X38-T2R does. You have to look on ebay though.

Is there a workaround yet for supposedly non-working motherboards? Or is the only option finding another motherboard?

I use 5.0b12a. The m1015 was flased with madburgs files

A8N is NVIDIA based. I read a post from someone who had to use a board with a nvidia chipset to do the flashing. Might give it a try! thanks to Roancea: On a side note, it makes you feel great having 3 current systems not able to finish this flash and having to drop back to an old finicky nvidia based motherboard running a C2D to get the job done =)

That PSU has 70A on a single +12V rail. It is way more than you need for just 10 drives. Factor in 2A for each green drive and 3A for each 7200 RPM drive, then leave 3-5A for the motherboard and fans. That PSU can support up to 21 7200 RPM drives, or up to 32 green drives. Talk about overkill! Yes, you are right. But I can have it here in Holland cheaper then the Seasonic X-760 or X-850. So, what makes the X-series so special? Is it just 80plus Gold vs. Bronze? Besides I also want room to grow. 70x12=840W for a 850W PSU? And what about the 3.3V, 5V and -12V lines?

J guess I was lucky then. Succeeded on the first attempt. Maybe it helps to disable onboard hardware to free up some resources, but I'm no expert on this.

Is this ok for 10 drives initially but with room for growth? Sorry, it's a Dutch site. https://maxict.nl/product/3326779/seasonic-netzteil-atx-850w-seasonic-80plus-bronze-m12ii-850am?ics=ls

My motherboard doesn't have a PCIe 8x slot. So I will put my M1015 in a 16x slot. Is there a way to check if the card is running at 8x? Or will the card simply not work when it falls back to 4x?
