ctrlbreak Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 CSE-M35T1 (Manual http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/chassis/mobile_rack/CSE-M35.pdf) CSE-M35TQ (Manual: http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/other/CSE-M35TQ.pdf) From what I can see, the Q version is SAS/SATA and uses a different chipset than the 1 version which is SATA only. It's also about £20 more in the UK... Now, what I want to know, is does anyone know definitively if either or both of these RELIABLY support drive failure status errors via LEDs when using SATA drives (without additional connections)? I know for sure that earlier CSE-M35T1s didn't, but some people say newer ones do. Except are they really the 1 version not the Q one? Cheers in advance Quote Link to comment
Rajahal Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 No reason to get the Q model, the SATA only model is fine. These cages ship with a special cable that connects to fan/HDD fail pins on the motherboard. As far as I've seen, the fan/HDD fail LEDs will only work properly if your motherboard has these special pins (most don't). Quote Link to comment
