    My xpenology now needs a monitor to restart

    in Archives

    Posted

    I have a xpenology NAS and it was working flawlessly for many months.

     

    The last month every time I try to restart it, it dos not restarts. If I connect the monitor and keyboard it restarts.

     

    I upgrate to latest dsm 5.2-5967.1 and I can not login to Synology account to setup quickconnect. I updated syslinux with serial and mac I found on excel mod file but still nothing.

     

    Am I doing anything wrong?

    Settings for Cloud Station and a little more help please!

    Thanks guys!

    I finally modified syslinux.cfg and setup Quick connect ID. I tried Cloud Station but I don't like it at all. For 30 gigs of data to sync, it used 90 gigs on volum and another 30 gigs on my pc (plus the 30 gigs of the data).

    I'm using DS file for remote access from Android and Sync Me app to one way sync photos/videos from the phone to NAS

    Does cheaper j1800 boards work well with xpenology?

    I am using this board http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JQHUE3G?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

     

    This model has four SATA ports. I am using four Hitachi 2TB drives along with 4GB of ram. Works great. I would like to find a small case to put it all in but most ITX cases seem to limit you there, except for a Fractal Designs NODE 304.

    My old Hitachi drives are not super efficient and still my setup uses only 40W at idle.

     

    I also have the cheaper two SATA version with the ATX form factor I am using as a PFSense firewall. I used the ATX version since I had an Intel quad port NIC that I wanted to use. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JO1DIIM/ref=psdc_1048424_t1_B00JQHUE3G

     

    These are really slick little setups. The processor runs at 30 degrees C or so, they only pull 10-15W, and are dead silent with no fan.

    I was using a G3258. This processor is almost as powerful while pulling way less http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-G3258-vs-Intel-Celeron-J1800

     

    Here is a site you can compare specs with. The power to performance is hard to beat http://cpuboss.com/cpu/Intel-Celeron-J1800

     

    Thanks for your input!

    Personally, I wouldn't compare G3258 with J1800. G3258 is a real monster next to the J1800. In passmark benchmark, G3258 is scoring around 4000 while J1800 is scoring around 1000. However, for a NAS with just 2 Hdd I am considering the J1800 (or J1900 / A4-5000 I have mentioned before) and 2GB Ram. Anything more powerfull I believe will be an overkill.

     

    As for the case, you can consider U-NAS if it fits your budget http://www.u-nas.com/cases.html

    I need some help (reboot issue)

    Thanks!

    Mine shuts down normally but it doesn't start, either if it is after a shut down or a reboot. When I check in bios, the usb is not in the bootable options. I have to create another bootable usb each time, on a different usb stick.

    Also, when the system is eventually started, I can see the bootable usb as "usbshare2". I can also map it to my windows pc.

    Hello!

    I have xpenology installed on an old Toshiba laptop, with core 2 duo T7200 and intel express chipset 945gm.

    The problem is that I can not reboot the system. Each time I want to reboot or shut down and start again, I have to made a new xpenoboot usb. It 'sees' it in the bios and boot from it, but if I reboot again the usb is not 'seen'.

     

    I'm looking for a solution...

    Thanks for your reply!

     

    I am really afraid if the user experience with the J1800 will be acceptable. I also found a couple of threats that user have either problem with usb 3.0 or performance wise issues.

    I am sure that with just 10-12 euro more, I will be more satisfied with either ASRock QC5000M or ASRock Q1900M, both mATX.

    Hello!

    This is my first post here! I am going to build my first NEW xpenology box and I'm looking to buy a cheap, low power board.

    I am between ASUS J1800I-A mITX and ASRock D1800M MATX that are priced at 50 euro each.

    Do you have any experience with these two boards?

     

    I know that ASRock Q1900-ITX it's fully comatible but I don't need the 2 extra sata ports, it's also 30 euro more expensive.

    I have already tested xpenology on old laptop and desktop pc, but since it's going to be on 24/7 I want to build something with brand new parts.
