So the USB ports on the Q1900 work and the J1800 not and there is no way to make them work? No workaround or drivers or something like that?
When I switch to the Q1900, will the system work plug and play or do I have to modify something on the nanoboot stick?
does anyone have experience in changing the mobo of a XPEnology box?

There is only one PCIe slot which I wanted to use for additional SATA if it would be necessary some day.
LAN works, Scheduled start-up/shut-down was not tested so far as the last 4 days it was running nonstop for file transfer and tests.
WOL works.
The performance is excellent, web apps and GUI are very responsive, CPU and RAM (4GB) utilization is 5% and 16% when copying a large file.
Regarding power usage, I did not measure.

Hello,
my first post, so I would like to thank the XPEnology enthusiasts for their great work!!! The forum was very helpful for setting up my first XPEnology with much more power than my 2 original Synology DS have.
I set up my NAS on a GIGABYTE J1800-D2H with 1 SSD and one 2TB WD red, Nanoboot and DSM 5.0 build 4493 with update 1 succesfully.
Now to my problem:
I cannot use the USB ports on it, neither the USB stick with nanoboot nor an external USB HDD is recognized, it says no external devices.
When I plug the USB HDD (used for backup of my old Synology DS) into any Synology, no problem with recognition and mounting.
I read several threads for activation of USB ports for Microserver etc., but I am no Linux expert and do not want to mess up this installation I made so far.
What I did is that I tested activating and deactivating EHCI and XHCI, USB3.0 suppert etc., without success
Does someone have an idiotproof manual how to activate the USB ports on this MB?
Thx
Tutorial: How to downgrade from 6.2 to 6.1 - Recovering a bricked system
in Tutorials and Guides

Hello,
thank you for the great tips on how to restore a bricked XPenology. I got inspiration from the tip to use an older USB stick and took it from there without removing the drives. I have a second Synology that has all folders replicated, so I was not afraid of losing data if this would not work.
The situation was as follows:
I was running 5.2 with Nanoboot for a couple of years and decided now to go to 6.x
I created Juns 1.02 Stick and migrated without problem to 6.1.7. All went well.
Then I updated via the GUI to 6.1.7. Update 3 (the feedback on the forum was that it is no problem, just a restart is needed) and from that on the system was working but no GUI and not found in the finder (neither via browser nor Synology app). I restarted several times, the box sent me emails that there was an improper shutdown, the files were accessible via network, the webstation websites were OK, I just could not get into the frontend and find the machine.
The solution was:
1. Reboot with Nanoboot USB stick, option install / upgrade
2. Find the machine in the Synology finder (there it had a DHCP address and state was 6.1.7 15284 migratable - this was the first success...
3. changed the USB stick to the Jun 1.02 loader and
4. installed a fresh version of 6.1.7-15284.
All went well but after the 10 minutes waiting period it said that it cannot connect to the Synology. It was still in the Synology finder, so
5. I rebooted with Juns USB stick and did another install (again those 100% and 10 minutes waiting and hoping) and then I got to the Synology setup window / name, user etc.
The data is there, but I need to set up all apps and users. Maybe I could have tried the migration instead of new install in steps 4 and 5, but I wanted to clean it up anyway from users, privileges, firewall settings and old apps I did not use.
