Thanks for pointing me to the right place. I got the card to function. I will just briefly recap what I did that worked for me so that others that might encounter a similar issue knows what to do. Pre-requisite: Set MAC1-MAC4 in grub file (For my use case) 1. SSH into the NAS and type the following. 2. Look for NIC in question. In my case a X540-T2 with 2 ports, so it showed up as "ixgbe" 0000:01:00.0 Class 0200: Device 8086:1528 (rev 01) Subsystem: Device 15d9:0734 Kernel driver in use: ixgbe 0000:01:00.1 Class 0200: Device 8086:1528 (rev 01) Subsystem: Device 15d9:0734 Kernel driver in use: ixgbe 3. Since the card showed up with the correct drive loaded. I proceeded to modify the synoinfo.conf (in /etc AND /etc.defaults) Change maxlanport from 2 to 8 Original maxlanport="2" Modified maxlanport="8" Added the followings to the end eth4_mtu="1500" eth5_mtu="1500" eth6_mtu="1500" eth7_mtu="1500" 4. Save and rebooted the device. After performing these steps, I got X540-T2 to function. Results below: Hopefully somebody will find my recap useful. Thanks IG-88 for the prompt reply.

Recently I upgraded my router to QNAP QHora301W router with 2x 10Gbe network port. To utilize the new 10Gbe network ports, I installed a Supermicro Intel X540-T2 network card into my Xpenlogy NAS. I then booted the system with the 1 onboard NIC (Intel I219V or Intel I211AT) connected, and confirmed the system picked up the two new ports on the X540-T2. So I wired a CAT7 wire between the router and the NAS. After the physical wire was setup, although there are blinking lights on both sides and router management page shows a 10Gbe link is established, Synology side shows the port as disconnected. What step I can do in SSH to troubleshoot or attempt the get them working?

It seems a bit over-kill for your need. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product. ... gnorebbr=1 This is more than enough as XPEnology is not really processor intensive even streaming 1080p. 1. Many modern Ethernet or SATA chipset is supported by the bootloader as long as you are not going older than LGA 775 or AM2. 2. There are way to mirror data and close off the file to smb or other sharing access with Synology Application. 3. For power supply just get something like this. Unless you want better efficiency power supply. https://www.amazon.com/Antec-Basiq-BP35 ... wer+supply

Recently my 2 external hard drives 1x 2TB (with 1.7TB of data) and 1x 3TB (with 1.5TB of data) are having stability issues, so I built a new Xpenology NAS with my spare parts. Then I wanted to migrate all the data from the external hard drive into a 4TB hard drive on the NAS, so that I can disassemble the external hard drive to migrate into the NAS. I set up Cloud Station on my computer to pull all the file from the 2TB external hard drive onto the NAS. (I tried CIFS copy and plugging in the hard drive directly into the nas and do a straight copy, it keeps on skipping files) After a few nights, the migrate completed for the 2TB external hard drive, but the 1.7TB of data occupied 3.21TB of space and my 4TB drive is 90% full. How can I remove 1.51 TB of unknown data to make room for the 1.5TB of data on the 3TB external hard drive? Picture of the problem attached http://imgur.com/a/EbcV8
