Re: A Supermicro completely Shanghai'd!!
This went together the other day.....I just forgot to post the updates, I was busy with other crap....Anyway...
First thing was to replace this 120mm fan with a PWM one. This one was a pure 12v, and very loud. 5V wouldn't even start it....
PWM fan swiped from a junk Dell Optiplex 330.
Repinned and installed in the Supermicro cage.
In the case, one good thing about Supermicro, their boards a loaded with fan headers!
Now for mounting the 2.5" SAS HDD's in non-hotswap bays....this requires some kind of adapters. The best way is Western Digital 'ice trays' that their 2.5" velociraptors used....but I didn't have enough left for this build....and every moron on ebay thinks these are worth $20+ each...so I found the next best thing in the form of a HP SAS tray. They were $7, free ship.
SAS in:
SATA interface out:
Ironically, HP rebadged 15K Cheetahs going in the HP trays.
The upper Supermicro HDD cage:
Drives installed.
Cage reinstalled and lower pulled.
...and done with drives.
These are the FX4800's right now. The FX5800's are here too. I want to do a benchmark between them just for grins. I want to do something different GPU-wise all together.....but GPU's are ridiculous right now, so I'm waiting & watching...
Things tidied up and ready to fire!
Installing Windows 7; config'd the drives in a 558gb RAID5.
...and here we are!! I haven't had a chance to run a lot of tests on this yet....but it's coming!
FWIW, I love the de-virginizing a brand new BEIGE supermicro case! Not something that's easily found today, and it's so sexy!!
System specs are:
Supermicro H8DA3-2 Motherboard
Supermicro 865W (PWS-865-PQ) PSU
2x AMD Opteron 8393 SE Quadcore CPU's @ 3.1GHz; Shanghai cores
64gb PC2-5300R
2x Quadro FX5800 GPU's in SLI (The FX4800's are for testing purposes)
4x 147gb 15K RPM SAS HDD's in a RAID5Attached Files<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: A Supermicro completely Shanghai'd!!
Heads up! The later Sunons, especially of the Core 2 era, seem hit-and-miss in quality. I had a 2007 that failed by seizing up, even though it just felt like something was sticking, LOL. But, have a 2006 of the same model, IIRC and was doing fine, the last time I checked. Both are from socket 775 systems.ASRock B550 PG Velocita

Re: A Supermicro completely Shanghai'd!!
In all my years and the many hundreds (maybe thousands) of them I've encountered, I've only seen one kind-of bad one; in THIS BUILD. You had the age right though, it would be circa 2007-ish. It did not seize up at all, just making a little bearing noise that I found to be annoying; it otherwise worked fine....but I did replace it. I have tons of these around from some scrapped dells.<--- Badcaps.net Founder

Re: A Supermicro completely Shanghai'd!!
This one is done for now. I don't know WTF is going on with GPU prices, it's absolutely insane....so I'll wait out whatever it is. I threw the FX5800's in and tied everything up, calling it done for now.
Fully assembled, including the GPU extension brackets that I had a hell of a time finding in my hoard...but anyway, this is teh first case setup where I've actually had these fit correctly.....but anyway;
Butt shot!
SLI BABY!!
...and that's it for now...this one is done until I find the GPU's I want for the right price....but FWIW, all the hardware in this system is very period-specific....

Yes, I know I don't post this stuff much anymore....the only reason I'm posting this one is because of a NVMe adapter incompatibility; seems rather planned by Supermicro.....or I'm atleast a bit suspicious. It's plenty new enough to have a UEFI bios but a short 'happy list' of NVMe controllers that will work with this board, as if by some 'miracle', all Intel....so lets start at the beginning; we'll get back to this later.
Of course the motherboard is as the thread title states; X10dai....but we'lre going to have some fun shoehorning this into a modern 'gamer case' that can actually... -
Device Desktop motherboard
manufacture: Supermicro
motherboard: C9X299-PG300F
S/N: ZM187S026581
Problem: Black screen.
Description
The customer reported a message: usb device over current status detected.
I tried to download the bios from the manufacture, It has a bin file but didn't work. I'm not sure if the bin file design to be programmed directly to the chip or maybe I need to extract the body
I programmed this bin file but didn't work.

Good day
I am looking for a mainboard schematic for a Supermicro Server mainbaord x10dri-ln4+ as the track broke off on the BIOS chip and I want to repair to use the server again. If possible can someone assist to get this schematic?08-06-2025, 05:36 AM -
I know I've been a little scarce lately (like the last 2-3 years), but I'm still here and still doing my thing with fixing PSUs.
For today's considerations, I have a Seasonic B12 BC-550 [A551bcafh] 550 Watt ATX power supply for you (click on links for full size images).

It's a modern ATX unit with fixed (non-modular) cables and an 80-plus bronze certificate. Here's the label:

Hi, I disassemble my laptop to replace the speakers, to access them, you have to remove everything including the heat sink and fan, unscrew the motherboard, lift it up a bit to access the speaker wire.
that was not the first time I dissasemble it, i did replace the same speaker a few year ago and I repaste it last year, so I had nothing to worry about. but when I put everything back together, its completely dead.
After a bit of investigating, i found one pin of the status led ribbon cable that was unglued from the cable and bend touching another pin, I bend it back at his place...
