Compatibility problems with UnRAID NAS on HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8
Compatibility problems with UnRAID NAS on HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8
Hello, thank you for reaching out. I understand your situation clearly. You're using an HP Gen 8 microserver running Unraid with a G2020T processor and Quadro P100 card. You've tried installing an Xeon E2-1265L and an E2-1260L, but both resulted in problems. The BIOS is up to date, and the system doesn't recognize the card after installation. HP iLO doesn't show it either, and UnRAID fails to detect it. The PCI-E slot appears empty even though the card is present. When you switch back to the G2020T, everything works again. You need the Quadro P100 for transcoding a Plex server because your current setup relies on its Matrox GPU. I'm not sure why this issue persists—could it be related to BIOS settings or compatibility? Have you tried checking the card's installation method or contacting HP support for further guidance?
Recommend cleaning the contacts on the new CPUs. Assume the socket remains functional if the original CPU still fits.
