did you try booting in legacy/BIOS instead of UEFI?

my builds are: - asrock J3455-itx - ds3617xs - 1 x WD-red 3TB - asrock j1900d-itx (DC version, no PSU required) with 4-port iocrest sata card - ds3617xs - 5 x WD-red 3TB - zotac zbox (celeron j2597u) - ds3615sx - 1 x firecuda 2TB i couldn't get WOL working, but since all the build have low-powered CPUs, i leave them on all the time. dh22r

i had similar issue with my server build's (asrock J3455-ITX, DS918+) network card not "registering" and getting an IP address assignment from my router. for me, the issue was i was booting via UEFI. once i switched to bios/legacy boot, the server was visible via my router (ie. IP address assigned) and working as expected. dh22r

in my grub.cfg, i'd set the MAC address the same as the NIC's MAC address. should i be doing something different? thanks. dh22r

i've the same iocrest 4-port sata card in my DS3617xs build (asrock j1900-itx). at this point, i'm using just one of the ports in my SHR setup, but everything works. dh22r

nope ... on the migration/update page to DS918+, i chose to keep my existing data & configs when asked.

I think I'd the same issues initially. Screen showing loader as booted, but not able to connect via the web GUI or visible via synology assistant. Turned out, for me, I had to boot with legacy bios (ie. not UEFI). dh22r

just an update ... i'd forgotten to mention the above T30 issue was under DS3617sx. once i'd upgraded (sidegraded?) to DS918+, no issue running linux via VMM. weird? dhrr2

i'm running 6.2 (baremetal) on the dell T30. i've installed virtual machine manager (vmm) and am able to create the VM. but whenever i boot up and try in run/install linux, keep getting "kernel panic" and "synching errors". same errors whether it's ubuntu or debian or mint. i've no issues running windows 10 pro though. any ideas? much appreciated. dh22r

i'd been using the asrock q1900 motherboard on 6.1 (baremetal) for about a year. earlier this week i upgraded to 6.2 with the 1.03b loader (after doing a hyper backup to an external drive). i also expanded my SHR pool from four WD red 3TB to five. no issues thus far.

Just want to add my two cents ... I just updated my Q1900 (DS3617xs) -- baremetal, Jun 1.03b loader -- from 6.1 to 6.2. The upgrade was smooth EXCEPT, on reboot, my network "Lan 1" disappeared. I know there's nothing wrong with the onboard NIC as I can access the DSM web GUI. Not having the "network interface" enabled, I couldn't download "Update 2" nor could I run my packages (ie. Plex, Download Station). Following the advise on this this thread, I deleted the ".xenpoboot" and on reboot, the "Lan 1" returned and everything is working OK now.

I've the Q1900DC-ITX ... just curious whether the J3455 has a reasonable or negligible benefit over the J1900.

RE: Sata power I want to add 2 or more drives to my current setup of 4x3TB (WD reds) using a syba 4-SATA PCIe adapter. Thus i need 2 or more sata power connectors. Would a sata power splitter cable work with the delivered power cables? Thanks. dh22r

Sorry, I don't have a NUC nor Brix. If my J1900DC-ITX becomes too much of a bottleneck (ie. I need more SATA drives, beefier CPU) in my current build, I'll build another using an i3-6100T (35W TDP).

Maybe someone had already thought or replied on this ... I'm on a Q1900DC-ITX running SHR with 4 x 3TB WD Reds. If i use an i3 NUC/Brix as a Plex server (referencing all the media on the DSM), then there wouldn't be any bottleneck/issues with transcoding @ 1080p/4K? This means the J1900 handles all the DSM stuff and the i3 handles just Plex transcoding. Any comments/guidance appreciated. DH

No meaning to start any arguments, but for a SOHO NAS, how important is the hot-swap feature? Wouldn't a good mid-sized quiet tower case, with ample internal space for cooling, be a reasonable option vs some "cramped" NAS boxes with hot-swap capabilities?

My chassis is a Fractal Node 304 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811352027). Hold 6 3.5/2.5 disks with 2 92mm front and 140mm rear fans.

This NAS is pretty low-powered ... maybe I'll just leave it running 24/7. I'm nervous about downgrading to an older DSM update. Thanks all the same.

No I hadn't ... is it a hard requirement?

Hello all. Build: Q1900DC-ITX Version: DSM 5.2-5967 Update 1 For some reason, under "Hardware & Power" >> "Power Recovery", I don't see the "Enable WOL on LAN 1" ... options. I checked the UEFI and confirmed WOL (aka PCI DevicePower On) is enabled. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. DH

Updated on my Asus VivoPC/VM-42 no problemo.

i don't know ... mine is connected with an ethernet cable ... file transfer via wifi to and from the unit would be pretty slow.

I have a VivoPC VM42-S075v running the latest Xpenology build on a WD Red 3TB in SHR. The Celeron 2957u works fine for me. Most of my media are MP4 so there's not much transcoding running Plex on my iOS devices.
