So while waiting on BlackFriday and hopefully some cheap(er) 8TB-Tosh-N300 disks, for the Primary NAS. I decided to gather hw. for a Backup NAS, that would inherit the old 4TB drives, from my Primary/Home NAS. So far i have bought : 2 x Gigabyte MJ11-EC1 Mini-ITX Mainboard 4 x Samsung 32GB 2Rx4 …

Q1. Yes. Q2. Yes. (The most important point is UDIMM vs. RDIMM, though I think that MJ11 and X10SDV can use both.) Q3. 25 pages is quite short… :wink: I have a 12.61.17 BMC firmware from page 6 of the thread. EC1 BIOS stands at F09, which should be the version your boards came from, and it’s prob…

Update on Bad Apple mobo: Rereadig the “Mega thread” on STH … Gave me one “last idea” … Clear the bios hard … I had tried to do : “Load defaults” via the BMC Bios access, and that did nothing. Pg. 34 in the mobo pdf manual describes where to find the “Clear CMOS jumper” - It’s to right of the VGA…

The one from GitHub looks like the second design in the STH thread. The one on Printables.com and the first design in the STH thread do not have nicely adjusted holes.

Yeah agree, the one on GitHub seems more accurate (for what can impact :laughing: ). Print something so small shouldn’t cost much more a couple of euros… But the shipping :open_mouth: Btw, i lack of the i/o shield too on my backup Nas… And your question make me realize that maybe can be viable for…

I have gotten my two IO-Shield/Backplates printed, by a nice countryman. And I even got another offer from another countryman. Thank you “All”
