Here is intel's drivers for that NIC. Zero plans to add windows 11 support from an email I got from them. WTF Intel. Now I waisted money on 8 of these things! https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/58954/intel-ethernet-converged-network-adapter-x540t2/downloads.html I hate intel more and more.

New development. Connecting one side to the 10g sfp and the other to a gigabit port provides full gigabit. The massive slow down only occurs when both machines are in the 10-gig slots.

The module is an Ipolex ASF-10G-T, and the switch is a TEG-30284

Hello, so I spent a ton of money upgrading my network to 10g, all is well and good untill... My setup is an editing computer (client) my server and now my 10g switch. I have rj45 intel nics so instead of switching everything I got a sfp+ TRENDnet switch and sfp+ to rj45 modules. The problem is I only get 200kbps transfer speed! Peer to peer i get 1gb+! On the gigabit slots I get 120mbps. The problem only happens when im using the sfp+ slots. Yes they are both sfp+. Could this be some other kind of compatibility issue? Im new to the sfp world.

Yes they are. So I set the ipv4 in the router for all my DHCP devices and its working perfectly, accept that my freenas server is not spitting out an ip when configured to DHCP. I tried a different nic and thats not the problem either. I may have to just reset it.

Thats what I was going to suggest, but how did you flash without posting? I thought you didn't have the buttons on the back?

What the guy above me said!

Haha, the battery needs to stay out long enough for the capacitors to empty. Unplug your computer pull the battery, push the power button, wait 30 seconds to 1 minute, and you're good to go.

Hell no! Stay away from ryzen master, its the devil! Well only if you use it. Hard to tell what one is correct but for me the temp differences between the two was only a few degrees.

What motherboard do you have? Do you have a BIOS reset button on it? Pulling the battery is just a pain if you don't have to. After putting the battery back in it still didn't post? Or haven't you tried it yet?

Netmask /24 default gateway.

Not 100% sure I followed you but my config is. Router 192.168.1.1 switch is now dhcp and not showing up in the router, was originally 192.168.10.200. PC is now DHCP because it wont connect to the internet with an ip of 192.168.1.10 (thats what it was pre switch) and the server was working on dhcp but i changed it to 192.168.1.9 and it no longer connects.

Thank you, I have a new problem now

Update, I was an idiot and using a subnet that my router did not except. it worked it just didn't provide internet access. I had to configure the switch to DHCP for some reason setting a static kept causing it to freeze. So everything worked smoothly until I realized my server was DHCP. I manually set that to static and now it's no longer being recognized although it is still on the same subnet. Setting my computer static also disconnects that. For some reason it seems like the switch doesn't like me setting anything static and I can no longer find the IP to log into the switch due to it being DHCP and not showing up under my router. Any ideas?

Once again in this crazy world of networking... Im over my head! So I bought a trendnet TEG-30284 to use the sfp+ 10g ports on the cheap. I have it plugged into my computer my server and my router for now. I can figure them all onto the same subnet and I can ping between all of them. I'm able to log into my router's access panel but I have absolutely zero internet. Do I have to tell the switch what port is wan?

Used that one a few times. Same issue.

Just tried it, same result. Makes me think its the freenas file, but unfortunately the checksum says its fine. And i have tried multiple downloads.

Dd on Linux? I don't have a Linux install right now, when i put elementary on my 510 it didn't have a mouse, and my keyboard buttons were wrong. Finally was able to update drivers, but it still didn't have a cursor, i was only able to scroll, not click. So thats a whole different issue, i want freenas on it anyway.

I downloaded freenas from the website, and have been trying to create an installer, but every time, it just unallocates my drive. I have tried win32, rufus, and image usb. I have tried several usbs, i checked the checksum several times, redownload and rechecked its fine. I can write elementary os to any drive no problem, but freenas just formats the drive and removes the drive letter. And says it's successful. Anyone have any ideas?

Fixed. The problem was my stupidity, the solution was my education. BIOS only supports a 2TB drive, oops. Needed UEFI.

I have owned a dell r200 for several years now, but i just picked up a r510 expecting it to be at least similar...... Nope! Skipping over all the other problems i have had, my newest one is os deployment. I was able to boot elementary off the usb, but without a mouse cursor. Thats not the os I wanted anyway, but since I got back to boo I figured I was good to go and download free nas. after multiple failed attempts at creating a bootable USB I finally supposedly succeeded. Yes the checksums matched. It was something to do with a drive letter assignment. Anyway, after trying to boot off of it it said no OS detected. So then I tried deploying the OS and it did not detect an OS on the USB either. I then tried windows on a different USB that I know works and that didn't work either. Anyone have any ideas?

Yes it does, its currently occupied by an H700 it is in the middle of the board though, so I would have to run an extension out the back to connect to a shelf. If I did put an 8x into a 4x would it just have 1/2 the bandwidth? The hba im looking at can handle 250 devices. Im only looking at 16x more drives.

Unfortunately not. Do they even make an x4 HBA?

I have one slight problem now, i only have 1 8 lane pcie and two 4x. The 8 is being used by my 10g card. Any suggestions?

Perfect! Thats exactly what I want. Any good tuts on flashing a card to IT?
