August 9, 20205 yr HI all, I'm a new user to Unraid. I just wanted to run a system compatibility check past anyone who is willing to help. Here are the system specs: Supermicro SuperChassis CSE-848 24-Bay Server 4 x Intel Xeon Eight-Core E5-4650 2.70GHz Processors 256GB DDR3 Ram Motherboard X9QRI-F+ rev 1.02 Backplane Part Number: SAS846A 1 x Adaptec ASR-72405 RAID Controller With Battery 1 x Supermicro Dual Port 10Gb/s Ethernet Network Card AOC-STGN-i2S 2 x 1620W Power Supplies PWS-1K62P-1R Can anyone confirm if all these parts are compatible? Many thanks!

In the meantime I found this thread: Where a guy ended up upgrading the Adaptec Firmware and got it working in HBA mode (card bios setting). Hopefully that works. If I upgrade to a LSI 9300-8I (which is 12Gbps) do you know if I need to change out the SAS846A Backplane too?
