Is it possibile to install a later release than DSM 6.2-23739 on Gen8 on Baremetal?

nope, you have to install an Intel NIC so that you can enjoy DSM like 6.2.1 and 6.2.2.

 

I just tried on my Microserver Gen8

in a few days,

I am new in this forum and I send a greeting to all, I have reviewed a little questions and answers, and I have a query to do, I have a Hp MicroServer Gen 8, I tried to install XPEnology but I have several problems that I detail:

The first time I did the usb with the boot, modifying the grub as detailed, and in principle I got to see through the find.synology the nas, does the installation and at the restart I can no longer see it, I tried both with the version DS3615xs and Ds3617xs, same result to restart does not detect the DSM.

My question is how the disks have to be in the BIOS, SATA, AHCI or Raid, I have 4 HD and a SSD in the bay of the CD, what am I doing wrong, at the restart, the usb with the sysboot has to stay connected?

Some charitable soul that throws some light on me.

Greetings and thank you very much

What DSM version did you try to install?

[DSM 6.2.2-24922]

- Outcome of the fresh Install: SUCCESSFUL

- DSM version prior update: tried both update from 6.2 update2 and Fresh install of 6.2.2

- Loader version and model: Jun's  v1.03b DS3615xs

- Using custom extra.lzma: NO

- Installation type: BAREMETAL - HP Microserver Gen8, Xeon E3-1220L, 12GB ram, loader on micro SD card, E1G42ETG1P20 NIC with Intel chipset

- Additional comments: You need a Intel NIC instead of on board NIC from gen 8 machine, I bought a E1G42ETG1P20 with dual ports(with intel chipset card) for my case. Internal NIC can only run up to 6.2 with update2. If you want to upgrade to 6.2.2, you have to get an Intel NIC or you cannot find your DSM in your network otherwise.
