disable internal nic?

Tried that but does not solve the problem.

 

Think i did something wrong with the USB key. Can select the non UEFI USB key but get an "mbr error 1 press any key to boot from floppy"

[DSM 6.2 Loader]

I have been trying to upgrade the 1.02b loader to the 1.03b loader (both 3615xs model).

Motherboard is a Asus H87i-Plus with an intel G3420  CPU. I have an extra HP NC360T dual port NIC.

I think i am doing something wrong with the lagacy boot mode in the bios. I have tried every setting under secure boot and CSM but nu luck.

In the uefi boot mode I get tot he screen “happy hacking” but ofcourse no network.

Tried several USB drives. No name, Kingston, Transcend an Sandisk. I am sure i did not make mistake with the pid vid.

Can somebody help me (with the bios settings?)

Did you configure it to use legacy bios instead of UEFI for 1.03b?

 

I tried various options under CSM (Compatibility support mode). Where possible legacy only and if not possible legacy first. Non of the options seem to work.

 

It does boot from the USB drive as i get the "happy hacking" screen.

 

Is this the correct place in the bios for "legacy boot"? Was the only yhing i could find.

I was planning to use the 1.03b loader and stick with the 3215xs. My findings:

1.02b was and is still working perfect

1.04b worked after bios upgrade (looks to work without and with internal NIC disabled). Before bios upgrade I got the “13”error.

1.03b starts but cant be discovered on the network. Have internal NIC disabled and NC360T installed (based on this forum, especialle microserver topic, this looks a supported card).

 

Am is missing something with 1.03b loader (bios setting, extra drivers or something else like that)?

I do not have real SN and mac. Any disadvantages for 1.04b over 1.03b or is it best to update my actual system with 1.04b?

 

Hardware:

Asus H87i-Plus

CPU: Pentium G3420

NIC HP NC360T

After some more reading i saw that the 1.02b loader and the 1.04b loader are the recommended loaders.

 

My conclusion staying with current loader or upgrading to 1.04b are the recommended choices.

 

Is it allowed here to talk about serial numbers and mac adresses?

[DSM 6.2 Loader]

I am currently using bootloader 1.02b (3615xs)and running DSM 6.1.7-15284 Update 2. I want tu update to the latest DSM.

 

My hardware:

Motherboard: H87i-plus

CPU: Pentium G3420

NIC: HP360T

 

I think I have two choices (with the internal NIC disabled).

1.       V1.04b (918+). Challenge seems to have a working serial and mac addresses. Tips regarding serial and mac are welcome (PM).

2.       V1.03b (3615xs) 

 

Which is the best choice?
