June 4, 201214 yr Hi, I know that this is the unRaid forum, I have a great 4.7 rig (C2SEE, 1.8Ghz, 5 Disk). I have recenty got an additional server for home, I am a Microsoft Engineer and I am need a Win server at home to test out the new Server2012 stuff. I have installed the Release Candidate (and Beta) on my X9SCM-F-O rig, but only one of the NIC's seem to work: The board has both 82579LM and 82574L, for the life of me I have tried everything to get the second NIC working. Has anyone used this board with Windows and got the second NIC working? My Aim: Run Server2012, assign 1 Nic to HyperV, attempt to passthrough 5 discs and run unRaid virtualized. Why not VMWare? Cause I am a Windows guy, and I want to try and use the new features.
June 5, 201214 yr Have you tried the drivers from Supermicro's site? The driver download dropdowns point you here: ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/LAN/Intel/ I'm guessing the latest archive might have the right drivers - but who knows about their compatibility with Server 2012.
June 6, 201214 yr Intel seems to have developed a habit of checking what operating system your trying to install it's drivers on. People have been having trouble getting the 82579V NIC to install on windows server os's. For that one there's a config file you can modify to make it work. I bet there's something similar out there for your NIC. You can search for info on the 82579V for a template of what to try. Good luck.
June 6, 201214 yr Strange. I should think that a Microsoft engineer would know what driver to get and where.
