kbtarl Posted January 15, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 15, 2021 I got at auction a WD Sentinal DS5100 wich has a Xeon E3-1220Lv2 dual core processor, four bays that can run up to 4 x 2TB drives. Specs can be found here. Where do I start to get a workinf Xpenology? I have no clue bootloader and model>?>?>? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbtarl Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted January 16, 2021 Thanks for all the help. I will run a live linux and get that data! I sure appreciate all this help. I really didnt know what I might do with this but looked like a good chance to try Xpen this is what I found so you are right it is below 4th gen.......Ivy Bridge is the codename for the "third generation" of the Intel Core processors (Core i7, i5, i3).

Why are HDD capped at 2TB? Can that be upgraded? there should not be a limit like this, the only controller/chip with a hardware limit i kow about is lsi sas 1068 not heard anything about a limit with marvell controllers and the chipsset ahci does not have that either i'd suggest trying with one disk on a sata port of the chipset, that way you dont need a extra.lzma yet, that can be added later if there is a bios and its uefi you would need to enable csm, if its a legacy bios you can leave things as they are for now try 1.03b 3617, it it does not show up in network try 1.02b if 1.02b does and .1.03b does not show up in network then it will be a uefi/csm problem you can proceed like here https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/7973-tutorial-installmigrate-dsm-52-to-61x-juns-loader/ but you will use loader 1.03b instead and use dsm 6.2.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbtarl Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share #11 Posted January 20, 2021 Wanted to thank you now although I have not tried any of this yet. Mother in Law lives upstairs where bonus room ( my computer lair ) is. She is in quarantine so maybe this weekend! I did get some info from a guy on reddit which probably supports what you have told me. Dont know his specs ---- "Although not the exact same system, I started working on a WD Sentinel DS6100 this last weekend. Using loader 1.03b for DS3617 I'm able to boot and discover the device on the network, albeit with no drives detected. Reading around I find that I need an extra driver for the SAS controller which involves replacing the extra.lzma on the bootable USB device that I created. One hiccup for me was that Ioader 1.03b must be booted from BIOS/CSM mode and would not work in UEFI mode for me. I'm still unable to install the system, but in the 6+ hours of attempting this, those are a few things that I've learned along the way.

kbtarl Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share #12 Posted January 21, 2021 Do I use drivers for the Sata or do I use an actual file extended extra.lzma? Marvel_SATA.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbtarl Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share #13 Posted January 22, 2021 I was able to get the NAS detected with 1.02b but did not see any of my drives. 1.03b was not detected. This is where I have to go in and modify the loader with the flash drive VID and PID numbers, the S/N and MAC address. How do I had the extended extra.lzma. I downloaded the extra3617_v4.8 zip.
