WineCountryGames Posted February 29, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 29, 2020 I successfully installed xpenology on my new supermicro but it won't read any of the drives. I have an SSD inside that it reads as a storage device but will not read any of the drives in the bays or in the USB ports in the back. I know the drives are good ive checked them in my PC and the server is reading them they spin up and blink and the BIOS show them. So synology isn't recognizing them. Please help. Juns 1.02b 3615 6.1 Drives are Seagate 8tb I also tried a toshiba 1tb This is what I have https://www.ebay.com/itm/173977893894 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbv3000 Posted February 29, 2020 Share #3 Posted February 29, 2020 Check this thread for native boot loader drivers and additional module you might need for the megaraid controller. I would do a ground up check of all the hardware for compatibility, plus what you might need to do in the bios to setup internal sata controllers versus the megaraid. Also, you probably need to set the megaraid bios to jbod/IT or basic adapter mode. If its set to hardware raid, its unlikely that XPe will have the modules. There are several forum threads where people have setup XPe on supermicro servers so check them out too.You might need to edit synoinfo.conf to get the system to correctly see internal/external sata ports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
