DSM 7.1.1-U6 - [Baremetal] - GA-Z77-DS3H r1.0 | i7-3770K | Intel HD 4000 | AsMedia PCI-e x1 SATA

[PREngineer]

This machine was running virtually, inside ESXi 5.5.  All disks were put into the AsMedia PCI-e card and passed through to the VM.  Installation was done in a USB drive though.  It was running as a DVA1622 (to get the 8 Surveillance Station licenses).

 

Original hardware:

 

Make: Dell Precision WorkStation T7400

CPU: Intel Xeon E5405 x2

RAM: 40 GB

PCI-E: AsMedia PIC-E 12-port adapter

LAN: Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet

 

New hardware:

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77-DS3H

CPU: Intel i7-3770K 3.5GHz (4 Core | 8 Thread) 8MB 77W LGA1155 CPU

RAM: 32 GB Corsair Pro (4x 8GB) DDR3 1600MHz CL9 PC3-12800U

PSU: Thermaltake Smart 700W

LAN: Atheros AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet

 

I am using the ARPL (Automated Red Pill Loader) to set up the system.  I've found some issues, so, I am documenting the progress here for future me or other people.

 

Within ARPL, I picked the CPUInfo + Codec patch addons.

 

 

Will update this thread until I find a stable installation.

Plex seems to be working fine with hardware acceleration by using the integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics card from the processor.
