Afaik this card is supported without extra drivers with 1.03b and 1.04b.

[nemesis122]

and in this case also 102b ?

thank you

I don’t know if it works ootb with 1.02b but you won’t be able to use the 1.02b with DSM 6.2 (or I missed something). Usually Mellanox cards of this series are supported by Synology.

Yes that card works great with 1.02b and DS3615 on all DSM 6.1.x

Hi Both Thank you for the hints

 

I have now installed the mellanox 3 card in my servers and all is working but  for install or when i update the loader as example with the actual MAC adress both Nics must be connected because only with the mellanox NIC the server are not found is this normal or is this releated to the mellanox nics?

When the install is done the server is working only with the mellanox nic 

 

Will a intel 10gbe nic working by install when only the 10gbe nic is connected?

thank you again for this great forum and people

Hi

please, give me an advice. What network card 2x PCIe port should I buy to work DS918 + DSM 6.2.2 Loader Jun v1.04b. I have these to choose from https://www.czech-server.cz/komponenty-lan-adaptery-rj-45-1-gbit-s-2-port_c4129.html
