March 14, 20179 yr I have an IBM X3650 M3 running unRAID with plex and a virtual machine. The IBM server has 10 gigabit and I also have an intel x540-t2 in my gaming pc. How can I connect the pc directly to the file server? Do I need a crossover cable or can they be connected using a standard ethernet cable? When I tried connecting with a normal ethernet cable I am unable to access the files.
March 14, 20179 yr If both adapters support Auto-MDI-X, you can use, whatever you want. If not, you need a crossover cable. Every new 1000MBit adapter support Auto MDI-X so i think the 10GBit adapter will support it too. If the adapters are configurable, take a look on the software. Its possible that MDI-X is deactivated - just a guess. Edited March 14, 20179 yr by Zonediver
March 14, 20179 yr set both 10gbe connections on the same ip network address range. So, one of them would be 10.0.1.1 and the other 10.0.1.2 plug in cable see files
