Hello everybody!
I'm new to this forum and I hope my post will be properly formatted (read the guide before). Otherwise please send me a PM and I will fix it! Thanks!
I already have a TrueNAS 12 Core system running on the following hardware:
Case: FANTEC SRC-2080X07
Mainboard: ASRock AM1B-ITX
CPU: AMD Athlon™ 5350 APU with Radeon™ R3 Series (AD5350JAH44HM)
RAM: G.SKILL F3-1600C9-8GXM + G.SKILL F3-1600C11-8GNT (2x8GB = 16GB, non-ECC!)
Ethernet: Realtek RTL8111GR (ASRock onboard, 1G speed, fails on heavy usage)
HBA: Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller H310 (Chip: LSI SAS2008, re-flashed to HBA-Mode, limited to PCIe X4 due to board)
Problem with this hardware: The Mainboard/Processor is limited to only 4 PCIe lanes. So the SAS2008 is undersupplied. Also the Realtek 1G Network controller fails on heavy load (does some misterious reconnects). This is the biggest problem so I considered to upgrade to a 10G network controller. But this isn't possible with this setup.
This is my "upgrade setup":
Case: unchanged
Mainboard: Supermicro X11SCL-F (MBD-X11SCL-F-B)
CPU: Intel® Core™ i3-9300T Processor (WikiChip)
RAM: 2x Kingston 16GB Module - DDR4 2400MHz Server Premier (KSM24ED8/16ME, 2x16GB = 32GB, ECC, unbuffered)
Ethernet: Intel® Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X520-DA2 (Using only one SFP+ Port is supported with PCIe X4, second slot from Mainboard)
HBA: unchanged (Using the PCIe X16 slot from board with X8 lanes)
Primary goal: 10G-Ethernet
Side effects: RAM doubled, ECC, IPMI, and possibly: PMS-Jail with Hardware Acceleration (does this work? CPU supports many decoding/encodings)
Is this setup working?
Thank you very much!
Kind regards
