  1. Harddisker bruker mest strøm på 12V. Produsentene pleier å oppgi effektforbruk både på 5- og 12V. Min server, med en 500W Mist PSU, har ikke noe problemer med å dra rundt 9 SATA- og én IDE-disk.

     

    PSU'en din har 4x 12V rails som du kan trekke 99A ut av. Med mindre du har et ekstremoppsett, burde det holde.

  2. Prøvde Asus' tekniske support. Her er spørsmål og svar.

     

    Spørsmål:

     

    The motherboard wont boot with the adaptec card installed. The PC makes it past the post screen,

    detecting the hdd's and what not, but when it's about to load the BIOS from the Adaptec card, it

    stalls. The cursor blinks top left of the screen and nothing happens. I've also tried an older model

    SCSI RAID card, the Adaptec SCSI-RAID 2120S with PCI interface. I have the same problem with

    this card.

     

    Are there some kinds of compatibility issues with the nForce 680i and Adaptec cards? If so, any

    ways to fix it? I haven't tried the beta BIOS'es yet though. I couldn't find anything related to adaptec

    cards in the faq.

     

    I have another machine, equipped with a A8N Premium motherboard, and the NF4 chipset boots

    the adaptec BIOS'es.

    Dear customer

     

     

    There could be various possible causes to result into issues as described. These include:

     

    - Dirty SATA connectors:

     

    o Cause: Dirty substances such as dust, dirt, rust, or oxidized surface on SATA connectors may result in improper contact with its peer, which degrades the signal quality, hence causes SATA communication problems.

     

    o Suggestion: Please kindly try the following cleaning procedures and see if this helps to improve the current condition:

     

    1) Prepare the following (can be found from your local chemist):

     

    · Some alcohol (ethanol (C2H5OH))

     

    · A packet of cotton stick

     

    2) Shut down the system, and remove power cord.

     

    3) Remove all devices connecting to SATA ports.

     

    4) Flatten the cotton stick, and moist both ends with ethanol.

     

    5) Dip the cotton stick into SATA port (the side with golden finger), and move the cotton stick sideways a few times to clean the SATA port.

     

    6) Move on to the next SATA ports until the completion of this task. Note: Do not reuse the used end, and only use one end with each port.

     

    7) Now do the same for SATA cable and SATA connector on SATA devices.

     

     

     

    - Incorrect settings:

     

    o Cause: Under many cases, the default settings for additional onboard SATA/RAID controller could have been set to [Disabled] when delivered. This will cause the controller to stop its function completely.

     

    o Suggestion: Please refer to your user’s manual for detailed description on how to enable onboard SATA/RAID controller via adjusting jumper or BIOS settings.

     

     

     

    - Controller limitations:

     

    o Cause: There could have been a known limitation with the existing SATA/RAID controller, such as limited support to particular SATA standards or specifications.

     

    o Suggestions: Try adjusting the SATA operation mode of the HDD via HDD jumper or specific tools provided by HDD vendors (Please consult your HDD vendor for further assistance.)

     

     

     

    - Driver or HDD firmware issue:

     

    o Cause: SATA/RAID Driver loaded may need to be matched with specific versions of SATA/RAID BOOTROM, or the controller’s behavior under AHCI mode, in order to allow the controller and device to function correctly. System may result in fail to install operating system, performance drop, or even not detecting HDD during OS installation process if the drivers are not matched. (Note: Some versions of Windows may have been bundled with a previously existed version of driver for a particular controller.) Only when this driver also matches with SATA/RAID BOOTROM or controller behavior under AHCI mode, would the controller be able to function without fail. The same could also happen if the HDD firmware is not fully compatible with such SATA/RAID controller.

     

    o Suggestion: Always use the latest version of BIOS and drivers available from ASUS download page at: http://support.asus.com.tw unless specially mentioned on either the download page or FAQ page to avoid this kind of troubles. For HDD firmware issues, please kindly consult HDD vendor for further assistance.

     

     

     

    - Broken SATA port, controller, cable or devices:

     

    o Cause: Broken connector, controller, cable, or devices may also be the major causes of this kind of issue.

     

    o Suggestion: Please try moving or replacing components in the order of:

     

    § Replacing SATA cable

     

    § Move among different SATA ports from the same controller

     

    § Move to SATA ports from a different controller (if available)

     

    § Replacing SATA devices

     

     

     

    Please kindly consult your place of purchase for further assistance if none of the above helps to resolve the issue for your case.

     

    Best regards

    ASUS TMSS support.

     

     

    Synes dette virker som et standard svar de sender ut. Uansett hjalp det ikke meg noe særlig..jeg mener, møkkete S-ATA-kontakter og hd-firmware? PC-en booter jo ikke kontroller-BIOS'en engang :ermm:

  3. Kjøpte et Adaptec RAID 3405 til arbeidsstasjonen min; dette er et forholdsvis nytt PCIe-kort, så jeg trodde det ville gå. Men nei, det gjorde det ikke. nForce 680i er allargisk mot adaptec-kort :ermm: Inkompatibelt er inkompatibelt. Får bruke angreretten.

     

    Abit ix38 er tydeligvis motsatt av 680i. Den støtter både Adaptec pci-e kontrollere og LSI pci-e kontrollere, og rocketraid pci-e kontrollere :D

     

    Har bare 3 stk forskjellige kontrollere, men når alle de funker, så tror jeg jammen med at det støtter det meste :)

    Kan virke slik. Blir ikke nvidia-chipset på meg neste gang i hvertfall. Frister heller ikke så voldsomt å kjøpe et helt nytt kort pluss DDR3-RAM bare for å få en RAID-kontroller til å fungere.
