The blue LED is just an activity LED. What do you mean when you say it's not recognized? What OS are you using, and where are you looking for it to show up?

Maybe there is an order-of-operations issue where the JBOD card (I'm assuming it's a SAS expander?) comes online before the disks connected to it? I don't know what the expected behavior should be here, but one thing you could try is setting the controller to spin down the disks after they are...

I'd say just try it and see what happens. You could always use a Linux environment if you're worried Windows might try to write to the disks.

I made an edit to say that the value follows the drive when moved to a different slot, so it could be some kind of sideband value specific to the drive? My setup is an IBM x3500 M4 server with an 1882ix, with two SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 cables going to two backplanes, so I don't have a separate...

Anyone know what the letter/number in parentheses after "SLOT ##" means? I'm not seeing anything about this in the manual, and I can't seem to correlate it to any details on the device info page. It follows the disk when moved to a different slot. This is an 1882ix with 8 SAS disks connected.

Thanks, it was indeed because they were RDIMMs! Some vendors put this directly on the label but ADATA does not. For anyone else going through this, look for PC3-10600E or PC3-12800E, not *R* or *U*. The 8GB sticks that worked for me are: Brand Model Speed Cas Latency Rank Kingston...

Could you find the part number if you have a chance? I'm wondering if it's different from the Transcend (TS1GLK72V3H) or ADATA (ADDE1333W8G9-BMIE) part numbers that I've found so far. The odd thing is those are both 2Rx8 so I'm not sure why my 2Rx8 sticks are only showing up as 4GB.

I'm having a hard time upgrading my new (to me) 1882ix-24 from 4GB to 8GB. The card came with a Kingston 4GB DDR3L-10600R 1Rx4 stick. I've tried numerous 8GB sticks with no success. Most sticks just prevent the card from showing up in the OS at all, while two other sticks I found allow the card...

I'm guessing they just needed a way to shutdown the infrastructure to prepare for an upgrade. There's no way they'd kill a revenue stream like this just for funsies.

Didn't they just rename it to "domain join" but leave the functionality unchanged?

I prefer cloud drives that don't require me to store the entire drive on every computer I want to sync. Google Drive File Stream emulates a G: drive and doesn't store any of the contents locally until you try to access a file, then it caches it temporarily. OneDrive operates out of a folder...

The security flaws are found in Intel's hyperthreading, not SMT. AMD's implementation of SMT appears to be secure, based on what we know so far.

I've never put a disc in my Xbox One X. Laziness FTW!

I just don't want to buy the game again. I already own a digital copy on Xbox One, which will hopefully transfer to PC via the Windows Store. But all my friends who buy the game on PC will buy it from Steam, so hopefully they either let us unlock the Steam version, or make the Steam version...

Can we talk about why Microsoft decided to use Plan 9, an experimental distributed operating system like (but not completely compatible with) UNIX, to make this happen??
