March 19, 201115 yr Hi! I'm installing my HDDs in my new Unraid Tower. My Mobo is the P5B-VM DO and have 2 PCI-E cards: 1 x AOC-SASLP-MV8 (in the x16 slot) & 1 x Adaptec 1430SA (in the x4 slot). At the beggining, I only change in the BIOS the SATA controler to AHCI to recognize the USB with DOS (I've change several Samsung 2TB HD204UI HDDs with the new firm). I've changed the JMicron Controler to AHCI too (I don't know if it's correct or I have to put it in RAID or BASIC mode). I entered once in the AOC-SASLP-MV8 and disable the INT 13 option (I read about it somewhere and did it). Since that, when I star the tower the Adaptec card lights and it's recognized in the Bios but the Supermicro only shine a second and it's not recognized at all. I press CTRL + M but I can go into the Supermicro Bios again. Maybe someone with the same configuration can help me. Must I change anything in the Asus Mobo Bios? I've tried to change in the BIOS Internal Graphics Adapter to IGD (default is PEG/PCI) but the problem continues. I've read this in the Supermicro Manual: "Problem: The AOC-SASLP-MV8 add-on card's BIOS does not show up in DOS. Recommended Solutions: 1 - Make sure that the system has enough expansion ROM to initialize the card. Remove other add-in cards if possible. 2 - Make sure that the card is properly and fully seated in its PCI slot. 3 - Check if the motherboard's BIOS is updated. (You can download an updated BIOS from our web site at: www.supermicro.com.)" 1 - I don't know what is this: "enough expansion ROM to initialize the card". Someone can explain it to me? 2 - I'm sure the card is properly seated in the x16 PCI-E slot. The lights shine one second when I start the tower but after that nothing more. 3 - The mobo is new, so I dont think I must update the BIOS. And if the Mobo recognizes the Adaptec in the x4 slot, why not the same with the Supermicro in the x16 slot? Another question: I've read in the BIOS Hardware monitor that the CPU Temperature is 73.5 ºC. Is that too much? I've a Celeron 430 processor and I use the stock Intel CPU fan cooler. Maybe I must change the cooler for a better one? Thanks in advance.
March 19, 201115 yr Hi, what happens when you try to boot, do you get a black screen? Has anyone else with this board run the supermicro card in the x16 slot? Try it in the x4 slot. Some motherboards won't support anything but a graphics card in the x16 slot. The other thin about the initiazing ROM thing, have a read of this post: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=9488.0 The option rom is needed to load the bios of other items like the supermicro card. The .21 firmware of that card uses more option rom and on my asus board freezes it. Downgrade the firmware or try the motherboard settings in IDE. I've also had someone with the same board but a different card do the same and found changing to RAID worked. I suspect that AHCI uses more of the option ROM and doesn't leave enough for the supermicro card to boot. Josh
March 21, 201115 yr I have a similar configuration. I don't think I ever disabled Int 13 on the SASLP. I beleive the reason for this was the limit the number of disks that show up in the BIOS. If there are too many, the USB drive can disappear and then you can't boot. I was able to configure my USB stick as a forced floppy and boot off of it as a removable disk. This avoids all of the headaches with the disk count. I would recommend that configuration to keep you from having to keep playing with the boot options every time you change disks. Are the drives attached to the SASLP controller showing up in unRAID? I think my JMB is in "BASIC" mode, not RAID mode. AHCI is right. I would say that 73C is too hot for your CPU. 40C - 50C is more typical. Did you install the heat sink fan (HSF) yourself? If so, perhaps you did not install it correctly and there is poor contact between the CPU and the HSF. That would cause high temps. If your SASLP is not responding in this computer, I would suggest trying to install it in another computer.
March 22, 201115 yr Author Hi! Thanks to both, joshpond & bjp999. I've mada some pics (sorry, but I could not capture the screen) of the BIOS screens: 1. This is the Adaptec screen. Everything seems ok and when I connect a HDDs it does appear in the Screen. http://img5.imageshack.us/i/adaptec.jpg/ 2. This is the JMicron. It seems OK too and recognized a HDD when I plug one to it. http://img856.imageshack.us/i/jmicron.jpg/ 3. These are (I guess) the 1 & 2 Supermicro's screens. As it can be seen in the pics, It has the .21 firmware Version and It's recognized by the Bios. I don't know if there would be 2 Controllers & Groups as the Micro has 2 MiniSas ports for 4 SATA each one. Even a HDDs is installed, it can be seen in the pic that "No Physical Disk" is recognized. http://img816.imageshack.us/i/supermicro1.jpg/ http://img718.imageshack.us/i/supermicro2.jpg/ 4. These are pics of the two cards, first one when I start the tower and last one when the Dos Promt is still ready. At firs, every light in the Adaptec are on and I can observe that one light lights on green a second in the Supermicro. When the DOS system is ready, there is only a green light in the Adaptec and no light in the Supermicro. Both cards are well fitted in the MOBO. http://img860.imageshack.us/i/cards1.jpg/ http://img848.imageshack.us/i/cards2.jpg/ I have set in the BIOS the SATA to IDE (as default), the JMICRON to RAID and the Internal Graphics Adapter to IGD or PCI/IGD (default is PEG/PCI), but the Supermicro still doesnot recognized any HDDs. Since I disabled the INT 13 option in the Supermicro BIOS I can enter in it with CTRL + M again. I was thinking about this two options: A - I should change the Supermicro Firm to the .15 one (to save ROM). But it should work with the .21. I can give it a try to the .15 downgrade, I dont know... B - The MiniSAS-Sata cable is not the right one. I bought this one: http://www.planetronic.es/cable-interno-mini-sas-36p-sff8087-sata-05m-p-20598.html I've read in this post about "forward or reverse" breakout cables. Mine's reference is SFF8087, so I supposed it's a forward one. This is the post: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5840.0 Maybe I must buy these SFF8087OCF-05 3Ware cables. About the CPU high Temperature (73.5 ºC) with the Celeron 430 processor and the stock Intel CPU fan cooler (it doesn't fit well in the Asus mobo, maybe that's the problem), I'll buy this one: Scythe Big Shuriken Low Profile (29 Euros). It doesn't cost a lot, it will fit in the case/mobo and seems to be very quiet: http://www.scythe-eu.com/en/products/cpu-cooler/big-shuriken.html Any suggestions for the same price? Hope you can help me to solve this. My next step is pleclear 15 Samsung HDDs and install Unraid + UnMenu, and after that copy all my files (+ or - 24TB to the tower). There's still a lot of job to do....
March 22, 201115 yr The SASLP is in the x16 slot, the Adaptec in the x4 slot. And the Adaptect, MB, and JMicron ports all work. But the SASLP ports do not work. Can you confirm these are the facts? Are you sure you have the SAS to SATA forward breakout cables. Also, make sure the SAS plug is securely plugged until it clicks in place.

As you can watch in the pics, I think the SASLP is recognized in the BIOS (at least 1 Controller & Group), but not the HDDS. And I can't enter in the SASLP BIOS anymore since I disabled the INT 13 option. I press "CTRL + M" but nothing happens.

Sorry I know that you need a forward breakout cable like THIS ONE. I can't read the other one you posted, does it say Forward Breakout in German? I have never heard of a controler that, when you change a firmware setting, it prevents you from re-entering the BIOS. Leads me to believe something is wrong with it. Did you try disconnecting the cable and booting with it not connected to any drives? If the cable is the wrong type, the signal it is getting may be causing the malfunction and interfering with it allowing the BIOS program to run. Seem like a long shot. You may have the wrong cable, a bad cable, a bad controller, or a bad motherboard. Your processor could also be frying, but that would not be related to this problem. I think I'd try putting the SASLP in another computer and see if you can get into the BIOS with not cable / no drive attached. And then see if it will recognize an attached disk. If it acts exactly like it does in the P5B VM DO, then you have isolated the problem to the controller or the cable.
March 24, 201115 yr Author Yes, both are the same cable, but I'll give a try to your idea and test the card and the cable in other pc. Thanks again a lot.
March 24, 201115 yr Why not switch the controllers over - the SM in the x4 slot and the Adaptec in the x16 slot and try it this way. Or remove the Adaptec temporarily and try the SM in the x4 slot. Alternatively if you have access to another motherboard you can try the SM card there to identify if the cable is the problem.
March 25, 201115 yr Author I've installed Unmenu, and in "PCI Devices" I have this: 03:00.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec Serial ATA II RAID 1430SA (rev 02) Subsystem: Adaptec Serial ATA II RAID 1430SA Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at fea00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) I/O ports at e800 Memory at fe900000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [50] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [60] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Kernel driver in use: sata_mv Kernel modules: sata_mv 01:00.0 RAID bus controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd.

The HDDs are recognized in the Adaptec, but not in the Supermicro. Maybe someone could answer me. If it's recognized then the problem are the cables for sure.
March 25, 201115 yr That's similar to the report I get with my SASLP board. I believe you do have the wrong type cable, or a bad cable.
March 25, 201115 yr Post the complete syslog as I do not know how the card will display under the "PCI devices" in Unmenu. The cable could be the reason why they are not recognized. I do not know Spanish but the description on the vendor "para conexión de dispositivos SAS a dispositivos SATA." implies the same passive (backplane) connection to SATA connection and this is the wrong "reverse breakout" cable. It is a nice store and I am surprised that they do not have the other "forward breakout" cable. The description should be something as " para conexión de controller SAS a dispositivos SATA." - sorry not sure the propper Spanish word for "controller"

If it's always that way I would think about suspend instead of powerdown. Is that possible? How? 2 - Is it possible to auto log in? I mean, switch on the tower and don't have to write "root" to get in the Unraid console. Maybe I must change something in the config/go file? 3 - This is my CPU info. Take a look about Temp. Is it right? Sensor info (from /usr/bin/sensors) coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Core 0: +55.0 C (high = +82.0 C, crit = +100.0 C) I'm pleclearing 3 HDDs and the Temp has increased a lot. Now it's 72.0 C... The more I investigate and complete my Unraid, the more questions I have... Thanks in advance for your time and help.
March 28, 201115 yr It sounds as if your USB port is running at USB 1.0 speeds when booting. Look for a BIOS option to enable 2.0 speed.
March 29, 201115 yr Author Thanks, Joe. I've changed to USB 2.0 (High Speed 480Mbps) and now it lasts 2 min to start and 1 min to shutdown. Much better. I'll change the CPU fan today (the CPU Temp must decrease a lot; now it's 55º C & 72-75ºC when pleclearing) and hope have this week the new and properly Minisas cables. I'll report. What does "`proftpd' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)" mean? Is it important? How can it be fixed?
April 3, 201115 yr Author Yes, I received the new cables yesterday and they work properly. Good luck for me
