I ended up buying an Ncase M1, I'll see how it works out. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I'll sell the entire Shuttle enclosure when done. The SG11 could work.

Ok, great, I've seen the Ncase M1 in posts, never realized it has space for a slot loading drive, so it as option, but a bit of a rip off at $100+ for a UJ-265 drive. I would still like to explore cases that can take a full size optical drive. There are a limit number of drives that can...

Hi, I am looking for a replacement case for my Shuttle XPC Cube SZ170R6-V2. http://us.shuttle.com/products/sz170r6-v2/ I am tired of having to deal with USB3 dropout problems on the Z170 chipset and Win10. I would like to pick my own motherboard, while ideally re-using most of the components in...

Just when I thought I was making progress with SM, I get this when I push them to give me an official release date:

Good news, the test BIOS solved the problem for me. Per SM instructions I also tried SM certified Hynix memory, no difference, but the test BIOS, card initializes just fine. Thank you.

Thank you, will let you know what they say.

Thanks, my contact is Milton Cai / miltonc, I'm going to ask him to talk to your guy, could you ask your guy to please talk to my guy, mine still insists it is because I am not using certified memory, which should be delivered on Friday.

Was that an unofficial 2.00, or the official 2.00 dated 04/24/2014? Can you please share the BIOS with me? Or if not, can you share the email contact you are dealing with at SM, so I can tell my support contact about your support contact?

Adaptec support had me update the firmware in a different system, same problem. Adaptec support said they tested firmware v1.1b in a X10 board, not 2.0, and they don't have a board to test with. Supermicro support said to try to force PCIe2, disable ASPM, disable PCI logging, enable PCI...

Hi, I am having a problem with an Adaptec 7805Q SAS RAID controller in a Supermicro X10SLM+-F board. I tested the following combinations: Adaptec 7805Q + Supermicro X9SCM-F works fine. Adaptec 81605ZQ + Supermicro X10SCM+-F works fine. Adaptec 7805Q + Supermicro X10SCM+-F fail. The...

I just found out about this issue after upgrading my 9280 card to a new 9271, and drives no longer spin down :(

Hi, I ordered a few SuperMicro servers for use with Xeon E5-2600 and E3-1200 v2 CPU's. The mobo's need the v2 firmware in order to run the v2 E3 CPU's. I only have the new CPU's, I don't have any "spare" older generation CPU's. Is there any way to update the BIOS without a CPU...
