Check the System Event Log (SEL) with the selview utility. Match up with the timestamps from the kernel log, to tell you what is ratcheting up the fan speed at those times.

I checked the TPS, and NTB is mentioned once. I'll dig around and find out more information.

No problem. First, go to Intel� Modular Server System MFSYS25 — Product user guide and download the PDF of the Product User Guide, it has images of all this stuff, which will help you out a lot.

Page 67 (83 of 234) shows a picture of a modular server with only a single Storage Pool - it's the big green rectangle. Click 'Storage' over on the left of the GUI, or use the tab at the top.

When you click on a Virtual Drive inside the Storage Pool, you will see the Actions box on the right changes, to tell you what you can do with your virtual drive. There are definitions in the guide of what everything does, including

Expand Expands the size of an existing virtual drive using any unallocated space within the storage pool in which the virtual drive resides. Note: This function is only available when the Intel® Modular Server

Storage Management Pack feature is activated

If you haven't purchased that optional feature, the harder way is to back up the data, delete the virtual drive, create a new, bigger, virtual drive, then restore the data.

There's more details about the optional feature at Intel� Modular Server Systems — Intel� Modular Server Storage Management Pack FAQ as well, including the order code down at the bottom of that page.

This option is very specific to the hardware configuration of the S1600JP/S2600JF/S2600CO/S2600WP board, and appears only for those boards.

The short version is, the physical hard drives get put into a storage pool (I'm guessing your setup is just a single storage pool), then various multiple virtual drives are created out of the storage pool.

For the drive reporting a PFA, it's usually best to replace that hard drive.

There is an option to Expand a virtual drive, through the GUI. Do you have any leftover space in the storage pool that you can use?

Is it in the 1U, or the 5U chassis?

I think the 1U had small rectangular cutouts, only visible when the rack was pulled almost all the way out, that you had to press in on to release the last two catches.

Re: Can support Intel Smart connect with e3 1230 v2

It looks like it is more BIOS dependent, than processor dependent. Have you looked at Intel� Smart Connect Technology — Features and Requirements ?

Depending on what hard drives you are using, you may also need to update your power supplies and I/O fan modules. See the 'Notes' column in the Intel� Modular Server Systems — Tested hardware and operating system list (THOL)

Re: Pass-through on a RMS25CB040

RS2WC080, RS2WC040, or setting the onboard ports to RSTe RAID mode will all support JBOD / pass-through.

I have seen different results with different browsers. Chrome, and Firefox version 15 and earlier seem to work best. Which browsers have you tried?
