HP Proliant Microserver N40L

[Defur]

Hi,

 

Im running DSM 6 for over a few solid years on my old server and i was wondering if i can update to DSM 7?

I checked the other forum posts but i could not find the right answers based on my current setup.

Its running pretty good with Radarr, Sonarr, Jackett, Pi-hole, Plex and Transmission in docker so i still don't think i need to update the hardware.

Current setup: AMD Turion II Neo N40L, DS3615xs 4bay, DSM 6.2.3-25426 Update 6.

 

TIA

There is a relatively well-documented success story of the N40L.

 

Since it is in Korean, please use a translator on Google or Chrome.

The situation of newly installing DSM7 and the situation of installing DSM 7 from DSM 6 do not seem to be much different.

 

Because, you have to handle the upgrade of DSM 7 through the control panel inside DSM 6.

 

After that, if you don't replace the USB stick for the DSM7, it will recover or go into a kernel panic state inside the DSM 6's Jun's loader.

 

This is because this new bootloader covers everything so that it works stably when it is replaced with a loader corresponding to REDPILL DSM7 and booting of DSM 7 starts.

This is great! Thanks for the link let the upgrade begin!

Hello, 
I have a HP Proliant G7 N40L, with 8GB of RAM, and I would like to install XpeNology on it, but I can't...

Unfortunately, all the links I find are dead, and I never get further than the detection on Synology Assistant when I find other links.

I've searched for tutorials, I've tried with several versions, but I always get stuck in the same place.

Preferably, I would like to "transform" it into a DS3615XS.

Could someone please help me?

I recommend you to try M SHELL for TCRP, which I developed.

 

It has evolved a lot from the old TCRP and has been changed to enable loader builds using convenient MENU.

C1E must be disabled.

And DS3615xs is no longer supported by M SHELL.

It is recommended to install DS3622xs+, which has already had success stories in N40L and is the most stable.

You need to build it with Build the jot mode loader .
