I don't understand your I/O requirement from your email, but we used the DLE because we separate out I/O to a PCI card depending on the customer's needs. So far we have used 64 bit PCI RAID cards, the Adaptec 3200S (DPT VI in the Kernel, option asr). We haven't used the IDE controllers on these boards (or for that matter any Supermicro board) so I cannot comment on any issues related to these, but the floppy controller works fine. Kernel compiled cleanly, no complaints or problems (except that the Intel fans didn't fit the form factor of the board and we had to use the Supermicro supplied fans instead). One quirk with the Supermicro Server Work chipset boards is that they don't have an AGP slot. While this is not a performance issue it is a pain in the but to hunt down decent PCI video cards.

Sounds like fun! *grins* > 370der with ati rage xl onboard, and scsi onboard & dual EIDE > 370dec just dual EIDE If it was me, and a true high performance server, I'd take the DER model. Turn off the EIDE setup, connect some low speed periphs (CD-Rom, etc.) to the onboard SCSI, and drop in a high performance SCSI/RAID controller in one of the 64 bit slots. > Anyone ever use a supermicro board? Are there any known issues w/ > freebsd? One of the companies that I worked for (about this time last year even, imagine that), had a server that had a dual slot 1 board from SuperMicro. Machine ran flawlessly. I'd highly recommend them... but, be careful which case hardware you use. They also make great cases, which compliment their motherboards very well. --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Thu Mar 8 20:54:21 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from speedus.com (saturn.speedus.net [63.251.16.34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9663937B719; Thu, 8 Mar 2001 20:54:14 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from benf@nexgen.com) Received: from nexgen.com (p17-95.dialup.speedus.net [63.251.17.95]) by speedus.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id XAA14769; Thu, 8 Mar 2001 23:54:11 -0500 (EST) Message-ID: <3AA861C3.6000800@nexgen.com> Date: Thu, 08 Mar 2001 23:53:23 -0500 From: Benjamin Flom User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001108 Netscape6/6.0 X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Simon Cc: Mikel King , "freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG" , "freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG" Subject: Re: supermicro motherboards References: <200103090213.VAA09106@speedus.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org 2 x 1 GHz = 2 GHz.

The 370DE6 has an AGP slot, and uses the ServerWorks III HE-SL chipset. I am using that board with no problems. I believe they also make some boards with an on-board ATI display chipset. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.

I think both have a version with an onboard ATI video.
