tr0910 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 With the P4000, you want to use the passive ones that are available with the board from natex. It's a complete system. Quote Link to comment
stourwalk Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 The one I got from Kelley o malley on eBay has 8 x 3.5 hotswap built in. I have been meaning to ask @jwegman about putting another 5 in the spot up top. He will know more. Edit sorry about the drive count it's 8 not 10. Fixed above. This p4000 chassis is not designed for ultimate storage density like a Norco 4224 24 bay. It's more focused on general compute processing. Which heatsinks are you using with that case? If you are using the P4000 chassis with the S2600CP motherboard you should be using http://www.ebay.com/itm/201082357765 alongwith the correct air shroud http://www.ebay.com/itm/381083917540 The baby passive heatsinks that come with the board from Natex are designed for 2U systems and not the P4000 chassis Quote Link to comment

I have been meaning to ask @jwegman about putting another 5 in the spot up top. He will know more. Apparently the 4x35 hotswap cage that would match the ones in the bottom does NOT fit in the top drive cage, whilst the cages are the same width I believe the mounting points don't line up There is a specific 8x2 hotswap cage that DOES fit (it has a different part number to the one that goes in the bottom). We *assume* that standard 4in3, 5in3 style cages would fit - but until someone tries it we won't know.. Quote Link to comment
jwegman Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Concerning 3rd party drive cages in the P4000 chassis; I don't have any Icy docks or the like, but I'm very interested to hear how they work out (in the top 3 5.25" bays)! My main concern with third party drive cages like the Icy Docks are the depth; specifically if they have large cooling fans at the rear. The bottom Intel drive cages (either the 8x3.5", 2 8x2.5", or 4x3.5" ) don't require integral cooling fans as they sit directly in front of the midplane fans. Also the Intel 8x.2.5" in (2) 5.25" bays also doesn't have a fan, but it gest a modest amount of airflow sucked through it which is sufficient for SSD's. ...I don't know if I'd run and spinning drives in it though...

Naldinho Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 For people who bought the S2600CP2 from Natix --- is there any particular BIOS settings that need changing before GPU passthrough works? Quote Link to comment
jwegman Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 vt-d is disabled by default, so yea. Look under the Processor Settings page, then look at the Virtualization options (don't remember the specific names)... Quote Link to comment

Look under the Processor Settings page, then look at the Virtualization options (don't remember the specific names)... Thanks I'll check that. I was able to get two Ubuntu VMs working so I assumed vt-d was good. I'm only stuck on Windows VMs not seeing the virtual drive as a harddrive (lots of topics on that so should find an answer hopefully) and the graphics card showing up in PCI devices but not showing up as an option when setting up a VM. Changed the setting and now it shows up -- thank you. Quote Link to comment

agustaf Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Has any one got Proxmox to run on the natex combo (Intel sc2600cp motherboard)? I can't connect to the network. I think it uses the Intel i350 NIC but I can't find how to install drivers for it. Quote Link to comment

Never assume, always check. They usually list the part number, which you can search for on Intel ark. That will tell you exactly what it is. I believe there was a version of this chip that lacks vt-d on eBay, I suggest you avoid that one v1 and v2 are compatible in terms of mobo and slot (some boards may require a firmware update to work with v2), although I haven't seen any v2s at this low price range Quote Link to comment
aptalca Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Something in the bios perhaps with some USB wake up option? I didn't see any usb wake options in the bios, but turns out there is a jumper setting for it. I set it to disabled, but to no avail. With the usb 3 pcie card installed, it always reboots after a shutdown. I tested the ports and the usb works. I also installed it in a different computer and it didn't cause the reboot after shutdown issue. I guess it has a compatibility issue with the Supermicro X9SRL-F. The company hasn't responded to me yet. Maybe I'll leave a negative Amazon feedback to facilitate that process. Quote Link to comment

Is there any concern with that RAM? Was very cheap. Wondering if I should go 128GB instead? Pretty happy with all of that for under $550 shipped. Then grab a few of the Seagate 4TB drives and I have several 2TB drives currently. For cooling do I need these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-AUPSRCBTP-Passive-HeatSink-S2600CP-S2600-LGA2011-3-LGA2011-/151787267251 or does the one from Natex cover it? Quote Link to comment
