wakkawakka Posted June 18, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 18, 2020 Hi yall. Been running a TS140 xpen box for 4 years and it has been amazing. I'm about to backup all the data to external USB and do a totally fresh load. current rig is ds3615xs and 5.2-5967 update 9. before i do this, just wanted to confirm for my ts140 my best PAT to go with is again the ds3615xs_15284 and jun loader 1.03b and DSM 6.2?

mervincm Posted June 19, 2020 Share #2 Posted June 19, 2020 You can run the 918+ your haswell CPU is new enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted June 19, 2020 Share #3 Posted June 19, 2020 If you are installing from scratch, choose DSM 6.2.3, whichever platform you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyride Posted June 19, 2020 Share #5 Posted June 19, 2020 Choose a 6.2.3 capable platform based on features and hardware capabilities https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/13333-tutorialreference-6x-loaders-and-platforms/ From the FAQ, use 1.03b loader or 1.04b loader depending on the platform you choose https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/7848-links-to-loaders/ Latest DSM 6.2.3 code here, pick the download corresponding to the platform decision https://archive.synology.com/download/DSM/release/6.2.3/25426/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakkawakka Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted June 19, 2020 Thanks again, guys. I have a 10TB West Digi USB coming tomorrow, bought for $169 at Best Buy. Once I am backed up I will flash the BIOS on the TS140 and then load up xpen. I just made a 1.04b loader usb stick with my grub edit for vid/pid/mac/sn and tested it using the intel mesh remote access. works. Will go with 6.2.3 DSM_DS918+_25426 and report back on how it went. It has been 4 years since I did my Xpen box so i was a bit RUSTY. REALLY appreciate the help, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakkawakka Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted June 20, 2020 OK. All is well. I'm doing my packages now and moving my data back from EXT USB onto the internal disks. Running DSM6.2.3-25426 with JUN 1.04b loader and all is great. HOWEVER! One major thing. My TS140 lenovo has intel management so I can remote desktop to it easily. With my old loader the XPENOBOOT, I had a full console access and could login as admin and issue linux commands. With the JUN 1.04b the screen just stays on the "Happy hacking. Screen will stop updating shortly" and I do not have a console command. How do I get to the console with Jun 1.04? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyride Posted June 21, 2020 Share #11 Posted June 21, 2020 There are posts here that show how to self-register, I think it's just through a web page. This is only necessary if you want Syno's native app to transcode. Search is your friend. There are many, many threads filled with folks trying to figure out how to transcode.

wakkawakka Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share #12 Posted June 21, 2020 So this is ONLY if I want a SYNO app to do it. If I am using Plex it won't matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
