Does anyone have the proper settings for the BIOS/CMOS on a Supermicro C2-SEA board?  I am running a Celerron 3300 Dual Core, 4GB RAM, and 2 Adaptec SATA cards 1430SAs plus one 1220SA.  It is pretty much using recommended parts from the lists.

 

ver. 4.7 Beta 1 Pro

 

The problem I have is the board shutting down after about 1 hour turning off net access, monitor access at the terminal, and USB keyboard/mouse too.

 

In order to get the box to stay up long enough to run pre-cleans and even copy in large files, I disabled so many things in the BIOS that I bet I screwed up performance and possibly the ability for my soon-to-purchase UPS to not be able to control the board. Note that the changes I made did allow the box to stay available all night, so I am not "critical", but would appreciate some tweaking assistance.  I may have missed it, but I would think that if the board was used in a few mass-quantity builds that there may accidentally be a nice map of proper settings that I could use.

 

I just completed the build and put in 2 x 2TB EARS (no jumpers) and started my copies from elsewhere and ran into the problem while building the Movies share copying about 1TB using TeraCopy.  Since I did my big muddy footprints in the BIOS, I completed the task and even have the 1st pass complete on pre-cleans for a 2TB Black (parity), as 1 TB Black (cache) and another 1TB EARS (more data)... yet to be assigned.

 

Please help.  There are so many settings that could do this, and that can affect perf. that I could be here a month and not know if I did harm or good.  Here's the last kicker...no log files were created, to the system nothing seemed wrong...but I can track each reboot manually triggered, but nothing wrong prior, the board just seemed to go to sleep.

 

Regards,

Chris
