Homeserver 2 und Experte 4.0

If GIRA would sell it, you´ve to pay 100 Euro +.....

Maybe, but I've nothing against companies making profit and providing value added. This is my first request to Gira in 7 years, I think it deserves a reply.

Ordering from a trusted source, I'd get the right component first time and certified to be compatible with my motherboard. Having the HS on the bench, open since 3 weeks, waiting for the right component to arrive is not a funny perspective. I don't understand the "cloud" surrounding those references.
I was expecting information like:
<eShop> <reference for Flash>
<eShop> <reference for memory>
What's the problem ?

Regarding RAM, I would search in EB@Y, it´s old stuff and should be cheap...

I've no problem searching Google.
I've a problem getting the right component.
There are so many components with very close specifications, that I don't know which one is right for me.

Hi...
RAM type is given in my manual: kvr266x64c25/512 works fine in my server.
Flash is given in #10: DiskOnModule PQI, IDE, 128 MB - Computer und Zubehör - Hardware - Festplatten / SSD - Pollin Electronic

But 256 MB, 512 MB and 1gb will work also fine.

Thank you for the pointers.
I got a 1GB RAM and a 8GB Flash (100/200/3800/3800, slave)
I followed your procedure:
point 4, I had to use a DOS 6.2 diskette for format, but OK
point 5, SYS D: and restore works OK, 1st partition is active
The flash is in slave mode. I see the files on the first flash partition
When I try to boot, I get a prompt: GRUB

Should it be bootable at that point ? maybe my flash is too big ?

I guess the boot device should be HD1 (slave) not HD0 ?

You should install this:

It's magic

You should install this:

TILT !
You ring a bell
I remember the good old DOS command
FDISK /MBR
indeed, it fixed the Master Boot Record :-) now the HS stands waiting

Merci Matthias

Freedos won't boot on a 8 GB flash - my experience. 1 GB is max, IMHO.

You are right, there is indeed a DOS limit.
If I remember well, the max size is 2 GB, but that's the partition size.
I guess you could have a 8GB disk size and a 100MB first partition, make it bootable & active and boot from there.
I'll come back if I get it to work ....

Hallo Matthias,

wie geht man mit dem BackMeUp-Baustein von Nils um ?
Gibt es eine Anleitung ?

Vielen Dank
Andreas K.

Hallo zusammen

hätte ich auch fast gefragt, aber wollte es erst probieren.

Ich habe mir den Baustein in den Editor gezogen und eine 1 fest auf den Eingang gelegt.
Der Baustein erwartet irgendeinen 14 Byte Text, was genau weis ich nicht, die Frage hätte ich noch.

Wenn Der Homeserver dann damit gestartet ist, rufst Du die Debug Seite auf und hast hier mehrere Links zu den entsprechenden Dateien.

Gruss
Lapheus

PS:

It's magic

Stimmt!

Hello,

Before doing the upgrade, I want to write down the BIOS parameters, but the BIOS is protected with a password.

Anyone knows this password, please ?
I don't want to use the jumper to reset all parameters, unless no other solution

Thanks in advance

[MatthiasS]

No need to write it down:

Thank you
Shame on me, I've a copy of this document.


PS: The server download area seems to have a problem.

RAM type is given in my manual: kvr266x64c25/512 works fine in my server.

I attempted the memory upgrade. Bad luck, the memory doesn't fit.
I think there are several model of motherboard.
Mine has 2 slots for memory, each memory module has 2 notches, the module I got (see picture) has only 1 notch in the middle, too bad.

I guess the name DDR, DDR1 DDR2 has to do with the speed and the notch, I'll try to sort it out ...

Bei meinem HS2 lässt sich die Firmware zwar problemlos über Netzwerk hochladen, wird aber nicht installiert.

Bekomme dann immer aus Experte 4 die Meldung "Firmware zu alt,...."

Der HS bleibt auf 2.8 hängen

[Warichet]

Here are the memory socket in a HomeServer 2 Net,
and the corresponding memory module.
The 2 notches are clearly seen on the picture.

For sale: DDR1 RAM 512MB
