Looking for support for ASRock TRX40D8-2N2T with AMD 3960x


Recommended Posts

I cannot seem to get the net via the UnRaid initial setup.  I'm not an expert in this area, but I do have very knowledgeable help from friends.  I was indicated its a strong possibility the OS does not have driver support for my HW configuration.  I cannot successfully ping any known active devices on my home network.  I’ve gone through all the obvious possibilities…Bios setup, Layer 1 issues etc.  If my friends here cannot help, then I’ll need to go a different direction.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

What version of Unraid are you using?   If it is recent hardware then you may well need to use the 6.9.0-rc2 release to have support for your NIC - particularity if it is a 2.5Gb variant.

I have this motherboard coming since my Aorus Extreme died randomly.  This motherboard has Intel chips X710-AT2 and i225.  From what I can tell the i225 is apparently supported in the latest beta.  Getting the X710 working would likely require either a new kernel or module or both.  I actually couldn't find much about Linux support for this chip.

What can you tell us about that?

After more research on your site, it appears as if my on-board network HW may not be compatible with the Unraid ver 6.8.3.

My HW:

MB = Asrock TRX40D8-2N2T

uP = AMD 3960x

Mem = 128G

Drives = 12 x ST2000NM0033 2TB

M2 = 2x Force MP600 1TB

The MB has the following Ethernet interface description:

 Ethernet

Interface

- 10Gbps/2.5Gbps

LAN Controller

- 2 x RJ45 10GbEby Intel® X710-AT2
- 2 x RJ45 2.5GbEby Intel® i225
- Supports Wake-On-LAN
- Supports Energy Efficient Ethernet 802.3az
- Supports PXE
- LAN3 Supports NCSI

Is it reliable, is it stable?  I am looking at getting a TRX40D8-2N2T with 256 RAM but can't really find reviews.  Also can't find  many note on people recommending or discouraging RAM for that board.
