October 13, 200817 yr I just built an unRAID system with this mobo (and promise tx4) this weekend. Works great. It's between 50-60W with drives spun down (but case and drive cage fans still spinning). The chipset fan on it isn't silent either, but there's no way you could hear it over the howl of the fan in my drive cage, which is a supermicro 5-in-3 hotswap cage.
October 29, 200817 yr Hi. I have bought that motherboard but getting lots of dropped packages when I do a ifconfig on eth0. Is it anythign special i have to do? Best regards Dax71
October 29, 200817 yr Hi. I have bought that motherboard but getting lots of dropped packages when I do a ifconfig on eth0. Is it anythign special i have to do? Best regards Dax71 Did you make your own cables? If yes, Did you wire them correctly? Are the correct "pairs" connected to the correct pins? (There are two different standards, one for telephone use, the other for networking... use the wrong "standard" and the wires will not be paired correctly. ) Did you use the right cable? (cat5 is not good enough for 1GHz LAN, need cat5e, or cat6) If you did not make the cables yourself, are they cat5e? or cat6? Even if they are correct, have you tried a different cable? Are all the dropped packets from the same source... might it be unable to keep up? So many possibilities... but start with the wiring... it is the most likely suspect as dropped packets are usually an indication of wiring issues or noise on the LAN.
October 29, 200817 yr I am using cat5 cables and i have got it to work now but have to login manually and run dhcpd to get an ip then will the server be running fine. Running 4.4.2 Beta, under 4.3.3 didn't I get it to work at all. Will try to buy cat6 cables tomorrow and see if that help out. Thx for asnwer
October 30, 200817 yr Dont know if this matters but there are to versions of this board Intel® Desktop Board D945GCLF2 Specification Update http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d945gclf2/sb/e5488601us.pdf
October 31, 200817 yr When I run static IP i can't get contact with it but when I run DHCP and log into the server and do dhcpd then it jumps on and work without hazzle. So it is strange I think.
October 31, 200817 yr When I run static IP i can't get contact with it but when I run DHCP and log into the server and do dhcpd then it jumps on and work without hazzle. So it is strange I think. This sounds like a configuration issue, and the dropped packets sound like cabling issues, as Joe said. Neither are related to the board or drivers or kernel used, so it sounds like the board is supported, at least with unRAID v4.4 versions. Perhaps if you post your network.cfg and ident.cfg, someone will be able to recommend improvements. Both files are found in the config folder of the flash drive. Is it possible to use the new motherboard Intel D945GCLF2 with Atom 330 CPU? This question has not been answered yet. Unfortunately, you may be the first to try it.
October 31, 200817 yr Solved, I made the error by using capital letters on YES on dhcp, probably capitals on NO when tried static IP so now it working sorry all for the problems I caused by not thinking twize.

I posted my build in the Motherboards forum, and updated the wiki when I completed my build. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2599.0
