- Outcome of the update: SUCCESSFUL - DSM version prior update: DSM 6.2.1-23824 update 1 - Loader version and model: Jun's Loader v1.04b - DS918+ - Using custom extra.lzma: NO - Installation type: BAREMETAL - Gigabyte H97N-WIFI with Intel X520-DA1 10Gbe SFP+ NIC, works fine.

good to know. I have a Connectx-3 or x520-DA1 that i can throw in to make it compatible with 1.03B, but are you running 6.2.1? DS3617xs? or DS3615xs?

Which particualr 1.03b are you using? because as I know the 1.03b loader doesn't work with the broadcom on the r510. Did you throw in an extra NIC for test?

Much appreciated, now I know I can get a 82599 to work on the new whitebox I am buildling! thanks!

Create the USB using rufus and make sure you have Partition Scheme at MBR and Target System is BIOS

For Support on CPU architecture, here's a link. For natively supported NICs you can check synology website.

Also to report, Mellanox ConnectX-3 MCX311A-XCAT Single Port SFP+ also works OOB for 1.03B DS3615xs (It's not a ConnectX-3 Pro, but the same driver works) To be accurate, there is a compliant list from Synology themselves which works just fine. https://www.synology.com/en-global/compatibility?search_by=category&category=network_interface_cards&p=1 Also, it seems like it's hardcoded to not able to add more than 2 NICs for the device, unless you disable PCIe NIC devices (in a physical baremetal environment), it is impossible (for now) to add a third NIC (i.e. you have two onboard 1Gbe and wishes to add a 10Gbe base T or SFP+)

1) try non-uefi 2) use the older accepted 1.03b firmware (6.1.x) 3) make a serial output and examine the output text to see if there is anything wrong.

I've tested out that the 1.03b firmware (DS3615xs) works natively with latest DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 4 with a Mellanox ConnectX-3 (single port SFP+) MCX311A-XCAT on a J3455 Intel Celeron. As IG-88 says, doesn't require extra.lzma drivers.

Thanks for the quick response. I am indeed on 6.1.7u4 with 1.02b baremetal. I have a qnap 4bay nas that works fine with esxi on 1.04b with vmxnet3 drivers that works, which would be the current solution at the moment since I've tested connectx2/3 and they won't load up with netif_num and mac modified. I believe the drivers are not presented (have yet to try a x520 based card, since synology uses intel based sfp+ cards i believe)

I'm using the same machine, but i believe it's your raid card acting up. Using H200 here and found no issues having all 14 drives recognized (12 bay model + 2 2.5 bays inside chassis)

Does 1.04b support Mellanox Connectx-2/3/qlogics 10GBE sfp+ cards?

Also note that the internal SATAs do not work if you have the 12-bay model of the r510 with h200/h310 cards.
