nex86 Posted October 27, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) I'm new to XPenology. What loader and DSM version is the best to use on this machine?

nex86 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted October 30, 2019 I tried. It can't find NAS in network when I get told to go to find.synology.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambosD Posted October 30, 2019 Share #4 Posted October 30, 2019 @nex86 try third party app to scan for IP's, like IP SCAN , or enter the DHCP List of your router to identify what IP address has. Then get in directly from browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nex86 Posted November 1, 2019 Author Share #6 Posted November 1, 2019 I got it now. Is there a way to permanently install this on the SSD? without the USB it doesn't find a bootable device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not. You need USB drive to boot from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted November 2, 2019 Share #8 Posted November 2, 2019 @nex86 The actual DSM system has been "permanently" installed on the SSD, but as @bateau said, the bootloader stays on the USB, and it must be used for every boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hostilian Posted November 2, 2019 Share #9 Posted November 2, 2019 DS3615xs and 1.03b.. Or possibly the DS918+ loader.. Depends on how many HDD's you want.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nex86 Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share #10 Posted November 3, 2019 I can only store one 3.5" HDD because its an SFF case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hostilian Posted November 3, 2019 Share #11 Posted November 3, 2019 You might be able to squeeze an SSD in there too! Assuming there's a SATA port for the CDRom... Can install all the Syno Apps on that drive - more responsive - with a storage partition for important stuff.. I'd give the DS918+ a quick try.. If you don't get an IP address to connect to, give up and try DS3615.. I don't think DS3517 will work at present (I have a similar Optiplex and it just won't work with 6.2.2 on new loaders - with custom extra.lzma.. Though this might change with newer versions!!)..

JasonDragon Posted February 21, 2020 Share #12 Posted February 21, 2020 Hi I already tried DS3615xs with Jun's1.03b boot loader on Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF. I can confirm works with latest DSM 24922 update 4. No issues except you can't fit that many drivers into the SFF case lol lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
