Hi Andrew,

No, there is no firmware update required for the 525 series.  I will contact you to do some troubleshooting.

It appears that my Z68 based mainboard with option ROM version 10.8 can add a disk to an existing RAID-5 volume, the Intel RST version 12.5.0.1066 indicates a data migration in progress and looks like it moves about as fast as it did when I chose to initialize the volume, but the add-disk function was available to me. My option ROM is older than yours too. I'm baffled as to why it doesn't let you add a disk to your RAID-5 volume. I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2 and can also create a RAID-5 array using the disk management. Can you do the same in Windows 8? Keep me posted, I'll continue to research your issue.

Hello Chris,

I understand you are having problems with the mouse cursor.

Please note that we have not received reports about this issue on the Intel® HD graphics Controller.

At this point, you can try our latest driver for the Graphics controller in your computer. You can get this driver at the following link:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22521&lang=eng&OSVersion=Windows%207%20%2864-bit%29*&DownloadType=Drivers

It is also important to mention that the drivers we have are generic drivers. It is also important for you to try installing the drivers from the system manufacturer side.

I can create a RAID-5 volume using the operating systems disk management. Here is the RAID-5 I created in Server 2008 R2.

Hello ghoy,

Regarding the support for the Intel® Chipset or Intel® Rapid Storage Technology driver you may contact the motherboard manufacturer or the Intel® Chipset support team via chat or e-mail or the Intel® chipset communities.

Hello Glenn,

This happens because the SSD is connected to a SATA controller that is identified as RAID (SCSI) in device manager. In this case we suggest you to connect the drive to a regular SATA AHCI controller (which does not appear as SCSI in device manager) such as the Intel® SATA controller/chipset.

Reinstalling the operating system is recommended if this is the boot disk and if you want to connect it to a different controller as Windows* will require a different driver.

I own two (2) of the NUC 847 models. Both were purchased same day from same vendor. Based on serial numbers, I believe that they were manufactured on the same day or within the same week.

On one of them I was able to install XBMCbuntu (a special build of Ubuntu which normally boots straight into XBMC) despite the dreaded "RC6 bug." The RC6 bug causes the system to give only a black screen and a mouse cursor after boot. In this state, it is unresponsive to mouse input; it takes an IP address by DHCP but is unresponsive to ping or attempts to connect by SSH. I was able to overcome this bug by pressing ESC during boot and then following the steps outlined at the end of this post. However, the second NUC does not respond to the ESC command during boot (at least, it doesn't give me a Ubuntu command prompt). Pressing ESC on the second NUC does get me to the blue graphic BIOS screen (where choices are F2 for bios settings; F7 for bios update and F10 for boot menu). However, once on this screen, pressing F2 does not get me into the BIOS settings; F7 does not cause a BIOS update; F10 does not open the boot menu. On NUC no. 1, I have never seen the blue BIOS screen.

Q. -- Assuming that I can ever get into the bios (such as by jumpering the bios pins), is there a way to disable the RC6 function at the bios level? If I could do that, I could get Ubuntu running, I believe.

Q. -- Is there an alternate keyboard combo (other than ESC) to get to a Linux command prompt?

==============================================================

How I fixed ONE of my NUCs (with the excellent guidance of XBMC user Fersken)

This guide assumes that you have already installed XBMCbuntu onto your NUC (either onto a USB flash drive or internal mSATA drive), but found that after installation it does not seem to boot up for you. You either get a black screen with only a mouse cursor in the middle (assuming you have a mouse installed) or only a black screen (if you have no mouse). This guide explains how to fix your problem.

1. Unplug your NUC, count to 5, plug it back in and turn it on.

2. As soon as you turn it on, start pressing ESC every few seconds. One press of ESC should be enough, but it’s hard to tell exactly when to press ESC to get a command prompt, so just do it several times until you see a command prompt.

3. After you do this, you will be presented with two choices that will resemble these:

Ubuntu, with Linux 3.5.0-22-generic

Ubuntu, with Linux 3.5.0-22-generic (recovery mode)

4. Select the first option from the above choices.

5. Press “E” to edit your bootloader setup.

6. After you do this, you’ll see a screen which resembles these two screenshots (my apologies for the poor quality of the screenshots.

7. Look for a line that begins something like, “linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-22-generic…” and then move your cursor to the end of that line.

8. At the end of the “linux…../boot/vmlinuz…” line, add a space and then “i915.i915_enable_rc6=0”.

9. Press F10 after you have done the above. This will reboot your NUC. When it reboots, you should see a regular XBMC home screen.

10. Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 in XBMC. This will take you back to a Ubuntu command prompt.

11. Type “sudo nano /etc/default/grub”. This will open the Grub file for editing.

12. Look for a line in this file which reads:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

and change it to read:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.i915_enable_rc6=0".

13. Press Ctrl-X (then confirm “Y” for yes) to save your edits to the Grub file.

14. Type the command, “sudo update-grub” and press enter.

15. Type the command, “sudo shutdown -r now” and press enter. This will shutdown your NUC.

16. After rebooting your NUC again, it should go straight to XBMCbuntu. Now you need to change the video settings.

17. Press Ctrl-Alt-F1 in XBMC to go to a Ubuntu command prompt.

18. Type this command, “sudo apt-get install intel-gpu-tools libva-intel-vaapi-driver” and press enter.

19. Press Ctrl-Alt-F7 to return to XBMC.

20. Reboot your NUC.

The documentation does not seem to make any sense on how to import the USB key.  The setup file is not boot-able so you cant just plug it in and start the computer and have it work.  What I am trying to do is include the Hash thumbprint of my Root CA on the AMT controller.  All the other provisioning and control will be done via SCCM.  There is documentation on how to do this manually but I am trying to simplify typing in the hash value manually.  Is there any clearer documentation on how to get the hash from the usb key into AMT bios?

hi,guys,

     I saw only 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processor family support on the Internet....so e3 1230 v2 cant? Anyone konws?

We’re trying to use up to three DSP cards from Advantech (http://www.advantech.com/products/DSPC-8681/mod_A9314996-0022-4927-9AA4-6B1060D4E5E8.aspx) in this system. Ideally we will be able to load all of the add-on slots but we’re nowhere near that level yet. Each card alone in any x8 or x16 slots passes POST but no seating combination of two or more cards passes.

Have any of you ever encountered a problem like this with a S2600? I have followed generic remedies to the problem on the Intel site (http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-034070.htm). I have also seen discussions here regarding multiple NICs but not arbitrary add-ons and certainly not these DSP cards.

Steps I've taken so far:

• Updated BIOS/firmware
• Disabled unused devices and OpROMs in BIOS
• Made the following changes to the BIOS (BIOS Setup => Advanced => PCI Configuration):
  • Set Maximize Memory below 4 GB to Disabled
  • Set Memory Mapped I/O above 4 GB to Enabled
  • Selected MMIO size of 256G
• Tried every combination of x8 and x16 seats for two cards
• Collected System Event log using Intel utility
  • Added nothing to output already available in the UI
• Collected System Info using Intel utility
• Engaged Advantech with questions regarding this use of their board
  • They feel it is a mother-/main-board issue and won’t investigate further

I'm relatively sure this is a BIOS/firmware issue but have tried every reasonable configuration point in the UI. It is hard to imagine that we really are exhausting PCI resources with a grand total of 8 DSP chips in the system.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Chad

No, my friend.

I did an RMA for this MoBo.

yeah im kinda mad about it  

why is this happening....my computer SUCKS because of this.

I purposely use the IGFX because i am an audio video engineer and like the lower overhead...

if intel tries to tell me its a cable i will punch them in the mouth

Hello timofort,

We regret to inform you we do not offer apower supply compatibility list for  for this board but you can check the Thin Mini-ITX Design Component Catalog page# 20 since there are some examples there that might be useful for your integration:

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/hardware-developers/thin-mini-itx-catalog.html

Thank you for your understanding.

so what is the fix geniuses at intel?

Hello greenrizlas,

I am sorry for the inconvenience since Intel® WiDi is a peer to peer solution. Meaning that only one computer will connect to only one TV adapter at the same time.

Hi Sylvia,

Thanks for you reply. Actually I have already checked the pages you mentioned. Unfortunately, there are no such information I need. I know they support Enhanced Speedstep technology. But what I need to know is how many frequency levels each processor supports.:<

Hello Dwarf,

The information for both drives regarding the Random Write (100% Span) is correct. You may verify this from the product specifications for each model:

Intel® SSD 320 Series Product Specifications:

http://www.intel.ie/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/product-specifications/ssd-320-specification.pdf

Intel® SSD DC S3700 Product Specifications:

http://download.intel.com/newsroom/kits/ssd/pdfs/Intel_SSD_DC_S3700_Product_Specification.pdf

Keep in mind the Intel® SSD DC S3700 is a performance drive designed for data centers.

Random Write (100% Span): Speed with which the SSD is able to record data to arbitrary locations in the memory, across the entire span of the drive. Measured in IOPS (Input/Output Operations per Second).

Hello Joe

   Thank you for the repply. I actually connecting my new HP by cable to an old Acer, to use the Acer wireless to have internet. It always work in this case.

    Also if the driver it works on my computer in a day,  it works well until next reboot. Because that, Seens to me its not a router issue.

    I still thinking is the driver that doenst work well on windows 8. At list in my windows 8.

thanks and best regards.

Thiago Maia

etnerCan any of the following 3 NetEffect 10Gbe Ethernet Adapters that use PCIe v1.1 x8 lane be used on a Dell 2950 II that has PCIe v1.0 with an open x8 slot? I have not been able to find any other 10Gbe network adapter that supported anything less than PCIe 2.0+ so if this will work I can purchase my 10GbE iSCSI storage array.

Thank you,

David Ryan
