  1. You may want to try another NIC...get it up and running and then pull the card and let the dual onbaord realtek NIC take over. That worked for me...different board but same problem like a lot of folks have. I know the HP NC360T and HP NC364T cards work. The latter is inexpensive at <$30 US on eBay. Just a suggestion.
  2. Update: After messing around with this all day I finally got it working. Steps: 1. Boot with 1.03b 3617 loader 2. Swap out network cards until I found one that works (tried like 5 different cards but finally an HP NC364T worked). This is a 4-port 1GbE card with one port plugged in 3. Booted with my 4 SSDs so DSM would install there (unplugged my 16 spinning disks) 4. Success find my system. Installed DSM_DS3617xs_23824 update 4. Reboot 5. Login and verify my SSDs are present and initialized. Shut down. 6. Swap out the HP NC364T for the 10Gb MELLANOX CONNECTX-2 MNPA19-XTR 7. Boot again with just the 4 SSDs. Found the system with the Mellanox card installed. Logged in. All good. 8. Configured static IP. Reboot 8. Static took successfully. Enabled SSH and updated synoinfo.config to see my all 20 drives. Shut down 9. Connected up my 16 spinning disks with the SSDs. Booted and bingo. All 20 drives present 10. Created storage pools and volumes and now just waiting for "optimizing file system" to complete Just fyi...the ICY DOCK hot swap cage is really nice. I have these stacked on top of each other in the 2 x 5.25" bays and they run really cool. The cage has 2 fans with a low and high speed switch. I keep it on high. You can check the temps in the pic. If anyone has any questions, let me know. Nice to have this finally up and running.
  3. Hello Xpenology Community, I would like to get some clarification on whether or not Intel's I219-V NIC is compatible with any recent boot loaders (1.02b + ). I have the following hardware: Mobo: Asrock Z390M Pro4 CPU: Intel Core i3-8100 Ram: G.SKILL Aegis 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 Chasis: Fractal Design Focus G Mini HDD: 4 x Crucial MX500 500GB SSD HBA: LSI SAS9300-16i (2 x ICY DOCK ToughArmor MB998IP-B - one populated with 8x1TB Seagate ST1000LM048 and the other with 8 x 2TB ST2000LM007) NIC: Onboard Intel I219-V and a 10GB MELLANOX CONNECTX-2 MNPA19-XTR Xpenology: All combinations of 3615, 3617 and 918+ with loaders 1.02b + I see some mixed comments from the community, for example: - This DSM Updates Reporting topic states that it works: - This one states that the driver is missing: From my testing (and pulling my hair out), it seems that that the Z390 with I219-V is not supported, but it would be great to get a confirmation. Also, if it's not supported, can someone provide with a specific PCIe model I can use to get DSM loaded? Once it's loaded, I can switch to the Mellanox card because I know that works (I have HP Z420 with DSM 6.1 which works fine). If you need any additional info, just let me know. I hope this question helps other community members as the I219-V NIC is fairly prevalent on newer Intel boards. Thanks!
  4. Hi Neobluenet, I am looking at purchasing the Gen10 as an alternative for building on XPEnology box from scratch. I'm not new to Synology, but new to using XPEnology. I know this thread is a few months old, but can you elaborate on your steps above, e.g., the need to find the PID and VID as well as updating the MACs? If this is documented somewhere else, please let me know and I will review. Thanks in advance for the post and follow-up
