1 2019/01/23 04:53 1/10 Compatible Hardware Lists Compatible Hardware Lists XigmaNAS works with a wide variety of hardware, there is no way we can test every combination available or guarantee that your particular hardware will be 100% compatible. It is your responsibility to determine if your hardware will work with a with a particular version of XigmaNAS? The first step in finding is to take a look at the versions and check' Compatibility List. If your hardware is on the list for a particular version. Building Your Ultimate Server So far over the years we have found that systems that are build on chipsets and network interfaces gives lesser problems/bugs and does perform a little better than some other brands. We also see regular commits and driver updates for hardware in the FreeBSD sources. Motherboard of choice: Consumer boards and often prosumer boards are not always the best choice for a 24/7 running server. All the extra hardware that allows you to do overclocking, exotic audio and video features, etc is a big waste of power. Even when left disabled in the BIOS they will use power 24 7 nonstop. It might have all sorts of great features that are useful for desktops but we aren't building a desktop. We're building a server and we're looking for reliability and high uptime. You want a motherboard that has as much on-board that you need with the extra stuff you don't. For this we recommend server-grade boards like they are made by Supermicro, Supermicro is known for good engineering experience with server-grade hardware! An extra bonus is the fact that most of those comes with an onboard IPMI lan connection. IPMI is really awesome. You can remotely connect to your server's if you don't want to leave a monitor/keyboard/mouse hooked up all time this *is* something you should get. It's easy to install an XigmaNAS.ISO over IPMI and/or adjust your Bios settings, or run the console server from any desktop/laptop you use and if needed, from anywhere around the world. CPU of choice: There is no need to buy an ultra expensive CPU. When choosing from the recommended CPUs make sure your CPU is compatible with your motherboard. We do recommend Xeon Dual core's or better as those do support ECC if you really like to know what we prefer. In the end it's your choice. Keep in mind for high network transfer speed that the CPU frequency is important for Samba as Samba is single-threaded on a per-user basis. Generally any 3Ghz+ CPU will be more than capable of handling Samba at Gigabit speeds with a problem. Something that is mostly overlooked by a lot of users and custom builders. Hardware issues If you have hardware problems, or you suspect hardware problems, determine exactly what hardware you are using; CPU, MotherBoard make and model, controller's IDE, SATA, RAID, SCSI and USB, NIC make and model, etc.. If you find that a piece of your hardware does not appear to be currently supported, please endeavor to find the FreeBSD drivers, or a link to them yourself by (XigmaNAS x.x.x.x.xxxx release based on FreeBSD version.

2 Last update: 2018/12/21 19:37 xigmanas_users_hardware Reviewing the Hardware compatibility list, select one from below. Searching your hardware vendors website for FreeBSD compliant drivers (they may not exist and you may have to check with the vendors support site to find if they exist or are under development). If you find drivers, please submit a Feature Request that includes the web link driver and the make and model hardware. If you 'think' a feature might be useful to other users, post it to XigmaNAS forum for the community to review and comment on.
