March 20, 201511 yr Just picked up an ASRock AM1H ITX board and was wondering if there was anything I might look out for with ASRock bios settings? Just doing a straight Unraid 6 boot and supporting 6 drives via a Supermicro PCI board..not getting into ESXi or anything... Pete
March 20, 201511 yr Should be very straightforward -- the only BIOS setting you should need to make is the boot priority so it boots from the flash drive.
March 21, 201511 yr I use that board with a AMD 5350 for my pfSense firewall. Booting from USB is straight forward in the BIOS. The biggest problems I've had with it are 1) sleep has problems. I used PartedMagic on it (before the pfSense installation) to secure erase some SSDs. When I forced it go to sleep to unfreeze the drives, it wouldn't come back on. 2) Either the board or CPU had quality problems. I ended up RMA'ing it twice before I got a working combination that worked with both banks of RAM populated (8G total)
March 21, 201511 yr ... Either the board or CPU had quality problems. Not really surprising for such a low-cost board ... basically at that price they're simply depending on the users to be the quality control testers.
