Okay , I guess what I want is an AP. I have a cat 5 cable that I ran to the first floor already. Can you guys recommend a good AP. Preferably not too expensive. Also, how will the AP be able to broadcast the same network name and password? Will that work? Last question, I just have one...

HI guys, so I need some help. I moved my router and server setup to a corner in the basement and now I am having trouble getting a decent signal on the first floor. I currently have FIOS and it is the standard Verizon FIOS wireless router that's sending out the signal. I would like to add...

1. I am in the U.S. 2. I have read that perhaps getting a port multiplier card will be faster then eSata connection? I have also read that the max hard drives connected to a port multiplier is 5. Am I right?

No one could help me out?

So I currently have 6 (3tb) drives packed into this amazing little computer. But I am running out of space. Can you guys suggest a simple way to add drives to this thing? I was thinking if their is a case or something that can store 10 drives that I can simply connect to the ESATA port on the...

Silly question, haven't put together a computer in a while. Is this the correct way to mount the PSU with vent on the inside the case like pictured here? Or do I need to flip it around? It's a littl eweird because the case has the PSU on the bottom so I wasn't sure if the fan needs...

Thanks guys! I flashed the BIOS to the latest one and it POSTED just fine! Thank goodness. Now if I wasn't dumb to get 90 degree connectors on the breakout cable everything would be even better. The connectors on the card are too far in and the 90 degree connector can't reach it. So I had to...

unfortunately this is the only PCI-E X16 slot, the other is a X1 slot and then standard PCI slots. You guys think it is a compatibility issue? Would I be able to boot into the configuration utility if it wasn't compatible though?

I was able to select disable BIOS support within th econfiguration utility. Is that what you are referring to? At this point I am unable to flash the card at all anymore, because whenever the card is in the computer will not POST. I can't even get into the motherboard BIOS menu with the card...

I can't even imagine what could be wrong. I can get into the configuration utility by pressing ctrl+c and disabled boot support, but that's as far as it will go. Can't get to BIOS setup with the card in, and can't get passed that screen. Monitor just looses signal and computer won't post. I...

Wow guys, no one can help me out with this? This is kind of urgent because I can't do anything at the moment and I don't know how to fix this as I cant booth into DOS of the USB anymore. Did I brick my card? But then how come I am able to enter the config utility? It shows as flashed to IT as...

So I followed the guides perfectly. Everything flashed fine and I went through all the stages successfully and entered the card address and everything went through. After I finishing the last step, I rebooted just to make sure everything is working, and now my computer won't boot. My monitor...

I knew it wasn't going to be that easy. I followed all of the instructions in the readme file and flashed the P11 firmware, everything went through very smoothly. I finally booted the machine, the LSI thing comes up, and right when WHS is supposed to boot the monitor just switches to no signal...

Nevermind guys, turns out the USB drive wasn't set as the default boot. Wish me luck!

Okay so I tried to recreate the USB flash drive and start from scratch. Now when I boot it I get this error in dos and the prompt won't come up! "Windows NT has found only 0K of low memory" 512k of low memory is required to run Windows NT. You many need to upgrade your computer or run a...

big problem guys. I am trying to flash the card and after typing just the first line megarec -writesbr 0 sbrempty.bin I get 2 lines that say DOS/32A -- Protected mode run-time, copyright Supernar etcc... And just a flashing cursor and I Cant type anything. What to do guys?

It is a forward breakout cable that on one end connect to the IBM controller that I bought and on the other hand breaks out into 4-SATA connectors. I bought 2 of these cables from monoprice to plug into Norco S550 cages. However, I do not see this type of connector on the back of the Norco, nor...

right, but the other end just has a regular port plug to plug into the IBM controller... There's no usb on the other end of the cable...

Okay guys, so I finally got all the parts together and am ready to build this thing., I just have one question. On the breakout cable there seems to be an extra connector and I don't know the purpose or even where to plug it into. It looks something like a USB connector that would plug into a...

Hi guys, I need some help. I have this old CM Stacker case that I've used as a server. I am currently remodeling everything with 5-in-3 supermicro hard drive bays a new PSU and unRAID. But I just realized that I am missing the top bracket for the PSU and it has just been sitting there all...

yeah, I had a feeling it wasn't powerful enough. But 3x the wattage is a bit much. The processors fort hese sockets can be had pretty cheap on ebay so I don't mind upgrading. but I want something that will also be practical for server purposes.Can anyone else recommend a processor for me...

Hi guys, So I have a media server that I am trying to use as little power as possible and be efficient. I would like to install Plex on it so that I could watch the content when I am away. The current processor is an AMD Athlon X2 4850e 2.5GHz Socket AM2 45W Dual-Core. Will this be...

Finance is definitely an issue and I have already ordered the IBM card.. Thanks I forgot to ask you guys, how would I install the actual bays in the case? The current 4in3 modules just slide in. And the entire CM Stacker system is just a slide in, and then you have the plastic tabs that you...

Thank you again Danny, really appreciate everything. I honestly, wouldn't have been able to do it without your help. I did do some searching but I wanted to make sure what would work with my current components and if I could do anything with my current mobo. Good thing I asked because I would...

Danny, seems like you are the only one helping me out, I wonder where everyone else is? Thanks so much though. Getting another mobo to flash isn't financially feasible and I just don't have the time to play around with getting another motherboard if this doesn't work etc... This is supposed ot...

Wow, Danny, thank you so much for helping out! So if I go with your recommended controller card from ebay. Would it be difficult to get it to work with WHS 2011? Any flashing of the firmware required? (Just asking since I didn't read through the guides yet and ust the fact that there are...

Great, thanks bud! Have a few questions though. -That controller card seems like a lot more trouble than it's worth to get working? I don't want to risk it not being compatible. I although I didn't read through all the guides yet, I don't really need the card to have any special features...

haha okay sounds good buddy, thanks. Okay I will purchase the CPU. Quick question, is it efficient? I would like to use as less electricity as possible and have it be very efficient. So the PSU will be purchased the one you recommend. :) -I am in the U.S. - Hot-swappable bays it is. I...

I really don't want to drill or rewire stuff. I agree I don't need an optical drive. I have an external USB DVDROM that I can use to install Windows. I don't even know if I can fit that many drives with a controller. Is there a controller that I could get that will work well with my motherboard...

Okay sounds good. Let's replace the PSU. The top module contains the power buttons and such. Where would I move that to? So what set up would you recommend? Along with a controller card? And can I make one work with my current mobo? And what about the 6 sata ports on board? Would I be able to...

Oops, sorry guys I meant that I AM on a budget. Willing to spend $300. Basically I need: Drive cages, and expansion card. I will try to stick with this PSU, it has been working great! ---- So which expansion card do you guys recommend? Can I make it work with the current mobo? Also not sure...

Thanks, but I'm not sure if you read my thread. I specifically stated that I want to save money as I am not a budget, and specifically stated the case and components that I have and would like to use. Yeah, those are way too expensive. I need to spend as little as possible on this. I really...

No I need it to be quiet like the current server is. I don't necessarily need a light to flash on the appropriate drive, I guess I can take them out and check the serial number for the drive that is bad. I just mentioned it in case there was some hot-swappable case that for a few dollars more...

So one of the drives on my current server crashed (WHS V1) and I just want to upgrade everything to WHS 2011+FlexRAID and pretty much build a real server with my existing parts. When I originally built it many years ago sliding drive cages were too expensive for my budget (wish I still went with...

Okay, So after much more reading it seems like I will be able to get fit (2) 3.5" drives in the optical drive bay with this: http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-DoubleTwin-Drive-Vibration-Absorber/dp/B001AZHS04 correct? It will be a perfect fit? Nothing will be protruding anywhere right (I want to keep...

Hey guys, I need some help please. I have found so many threads and tutorials but non of them are really current and some are not clear. I have the older N36L Server and here is what I need to do: 1) Add a 5th 3.5" 3tb drive into the optical drive bay 2) I currently have a 2.5" 250gig...

Thank you guys. I was in a rush didn't get to see the thread. I went with a Linksys E3200 since I don't need any bells and whistles really. Thoughts?

Hi guys, So I currently have a Dlink DIR-655 router and it is constantly loosing the Internet connection for some reason (Internet works fine when directly connected to modem). I do a lot of streaming and downloading. Can you guys recommend a nice solid router that will be very stable with...

wow really? You prefer WHS 2011? I always thought that linux was more stable and much more smooth? What are the advantages of WHS 2011? I was actually hoping to get something as close to the QNAP software as possible... I have a WHS 2011 disc because I bought it last year when I was going to...
