Hi Is it me or you that's preventing me downloading XPEnoboot 5.2-5644.5 DS3615xs. I've been trying for a couple of days now to download any of the XPEnoboot 5.2-5644.5 DS3615xs files. .img, .iso and .vmdk without success. After clicking on any of the files I get a 522 error connection timed out after about 30secs. I have had no problems dowloading large files from other sitesd but not from XPEnology.me. Cheers Taoh

Hi O.K. after much fiddling about I found out that the keyboard works in from port but not in rear, I then found out that AHCI wasn't on so now when I try to install it gets to stage 4 Installing DSM then it fails with "Unable to perform DSM update because this DSM is an older version!. Then I discovered that Synology Assistant was reporting that the version installed was 6.0-7321 but when the install starts it reverts to 5.2-5644. Once it refreshes it reports version as 6.0-7321 again. Weird. I tried to download the Assistant on the Xpenoly web site but the link is broken

DMS is DSM_DS3615xs_5644.pat. Not sure about Gen8 bios ,I seem to remember it saying it was 2014 so probable not the latest. As I got it without docs and so far I can't figure out how to update, the so and so thing, I only got it running yesterday after getting a new mobo.

Hi I have a brand new Std. Microserver with Celeron & 4GB RAM (at least it is now that I have a new mobo) with 1 x 4TB seagate drive in it (I will add another once everything is up and running), I have a new 16GB USB drive setup as per How to Install Xpenology on a PC http://news.softpedia.com/news/how-to-install-xpenology-on-a-pc-499286.shtml . Problem 1) When I get to the Bootloader menu, my keyboard won't work. I got round this by changing syslinux.cfg to DEFAULT install 2) everything now goes well until it starts formatting system partition then I get Server Error. (Error Code:38) ............ An error occurred during installation. The telnet service of DiskStation is turned on for error determination. Please configure your router to forward port 23 to DiskStation and contact Synology online support. I don't think Synology is going to help so anybody any ideas? Cheers Taoh

Hi All I'm strictly a newbie here and I've never setup my own NAS before. Up to now I have relied on Synology servers and external hard drives for my storage needs but I decided I need to rationalize everything. (currently 2 x DS211js, 1 x DS115j, 2 external HDDs and 7 replaceable HDDS = messy!) To that end I have bought an HP Microserver Gen 8 and 2 x Seagate 5GB HDDs to go with the 2 x 4GB Seagates I already have. I also have a new 123gb SSD and various microSD and USBs for bootinng and OS However I'm not sure about the best way to set everything up. I need the NAS setup so that I can use it as 1) a fileserver locally 2) a cloud server for about 50GB of data 3) a mysql server (both local and external) I might use the DS115j for the external stuff I intend to use the HDDs in two mirrored pairs (ie 2 x 5TB and 2 x 4TB). As I'm used to using Synology, it seems only logical that I use XPEnology for my new NAS. I need your advice on the best way to set everything up bearing in mind that although I did I.T. helpdesk for 15 years I've had only a little exposure to Linux. Cheers Taoh
