lugggoos Posted October 23, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Im using XPEnology DS3612xs DSM 4.2 build 3211++ (repack v1.2) on a HP N54L. I connected an 3TB WD Harddrive via eSata. My Problem is that the eSata-Drive is not under external device. It appears in the Store-Manager. So no HotPlug! The Drive should be used as a Backup of the internal Drives. So Hotplug would be fine... Someone with the same Problem?? SOLVED: SSH to your Station and edit /etc/synoinfo.conf and /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf For N54l edit this: esataportcfg=0x10 internalportcft=0x2F usbportcfg=0x1FC0 Edited September 16, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NisSam Posted October 23, 2013 Share #2 Posted October 23, 2013 Have you updated the BIOS and changed external disk to not IDE mode? http://xpenology.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1316&p=6904&hilit=thebay#p6904 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugggoos Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted October 23, 2013 From the main screen go to ‘Chipset > Southbridge Configuration > SB SATA Configuration’ and make sure your settings are the same as below: OnChip SATA Channel = Enabled SATA PORTS 4/5 IDE mode = Disabled SATA EPS on all PORT = Enabled SATA Power on all PORT = Enabled Return to the main screen then go to ‘Advanced > IDE Configuration’ and again, make sure your settings are the same as below. Embedded SATA Link Rate = 3.0Gbps MAX Yep. Did everything above. EDIT: Its weird. Everyone writes about how to use the eSata as an internal Sata. For me its never been a Problem... Even with the original HP Bios. EDIT2: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1028&start=80#p5413 This might be the Solution. Mh have to figure out the correct Values.

lugggoos Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted October 23, 2013 Solved it. SSH to your Station and edit /etc/synoinfo.conf and /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf esataportcfg=0x30 internalportcfg=0xf usbportcfg=0x1FC0 This sets the odd and the esataport to esata. Edit: Hex in Bin ( 7 usb 2esata/odd 4internal) 0x30 = 0000000 11 0000 (you could try ´[0x20=0000000 10 0000] the other one should be the odd port) 0xf = 0000000 00 1111 0x1fc0 = 1111111 00 0000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ma160802 Posted October 11, 2014 Share #12 Posted October 11, 2014 when I run these settings I loose both esata port and ood port out of storage manager is there away just to put back the ood by itself? SSH to your Station and edit /etc/synoinfo.conf and /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf esataportcfg=0x30 internalportcfg=0xf usbportcfg=0x1FC0 This sets the odd and the esataport to esata. Edit: Hex in Bin ( 7 usb 2esata/odd 4internal) 0x30 = 0000000 11 0000 (you could try ´[0x20=0000000 10 0000] the other one should be the odd port) 0xf = 0000000 00 1111 0x1fc0 = 1111111 00 0000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugggoos Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted October 20, 2014 Look at my initial Post of this Thread. For handling just the ODD or! the external as eSata try: esataportcfg=0x20 or 0x10 internalportcft=0x1F or 0x2F usbportcfg=0x1FC0 Setting esataportcfg to 0x30 will use ODD and! External as eSata. If you understand the Bin to Hex then you could fingure out the Settings yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakeman Posted September 16, 2015 Share #21 Posted September 16, 2015 Did you tried to use SATA multiplier enclosures? I have one but seems XPE cannot detect anything other than the 1st drive. But I am sure that the normal Synology expansion units are just a box with SATA multiplier as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
