VT - D Passthrough and motherboards with PLX PEX PCIe switches

Hello

Is someone can please tell me if ESXi 5.5 supports e/s direct VT - d spend on motherboards using a PLX PCIe switch to share channels PCIe?

For example;

http://www.sotechdesign.com.au/ASUS-p9d-E4L-HASWELL-Server-motherboard-review/

This Asus motherboard has one and I want to use ESX thereby. I want to make sure that devices connected PCIe can be passed through.

I appreciate a quick response.

Thank you very much!

Obtained from the Board of Directors and I can confirm that cross PICe devices behind the work of PLX chip very well.

    Hello

    You must contact the Asus technical support to get the updated BIOS updated. Once that is done, try to install the necessary drivers and check the status.

    Note: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Licensing issue? I need to replace the default motherboard with a 'Detail' education Vista Ultimate Upgrade on top of XP "OEM." Can legitimately transfer my license everywhere and how?

    I am currently a computer on which I already installed XP OEM and upgraded to the edition upgrade Vista Ultimate retailers through the ultimate steal Microsoft.

    [Reminder]

    The problem I have is that I've recently updated my graphics card to a card of Nvidia 7300GS card Nvidia GT240 on which my motherboard was properly assessed. However, due to some unfortunate circumstances (I dunno if it's associated graphics or an electrical surge problem, I suspect the latter as the card is fine) my PCI Express slot is fried! This resulted in the motherboard being unable to start any card in the PCI Express slot and gives a series of BIOS beep error codes. I even dug my old graphics (7300GS) and he was still unable to boot. Accordingly, I need to replace the motherboard for the PCI Express slot works if I use a graphics card.

    [Problem]

    Since the license Vista Retail Upgrade that I use currently is the edition of 'detail', can I simply change my motherboard everything and turn it back on, or is it more complex because it is installed on the high XP OEM that is bound to the default motherboard? What are my options?

    I have to buy another XP OEM license and reinstall everything from scratch? What happens if I didn't reinstall and just changed the motherboard and drivers updated my current installation? Is - is this legitimate?

    As I understand it, the Windows for OEM license allows a person replace a motherboard of 'default' (GA-M55plus-S3G in my case) for a replacement under certain conditions, mainly as for everything. Am I entitled to it? If so, what motherboard would be I can replace by although it is considered an upgrade? I have in mind an ASUS M4A78L-M as it is cheap and comes with connectors female jack audio 8 channels on the backplate was on my old motherboard.

    My main confusion is to know what license applies to me because of the upgrade process, retail of Vista or XP OEM? Upgrades medium I improve my driver's license?

    I would like to solve this problem without canceling my licenst but just don't know how?

    Thank you very much for any help or advice.

    I got a few BSOD - 0 x 00000109 - errors that I work.
    I ran memtest86 for a few hours and he scored 4 errors during test cycles 7.
    These memtest errors concern the bars invisible RAM or the work those?

    Thanks Joel,

    I started to individually test RAM when I noticed a quirk in the way they were organized in their locations.
    I downloaded the manual for my P9X79 and he confirmed that they were arranged in mirror mode.
    I switched two of the sticks to adjacent slots and, Lo and behold, the full 16 GB presented at startup.
    So that's one mystery solved at least.
    I'll raise the memtest to see if it includes several errors and if so will continue to individually control the RAM sticks.
    Thanks again.

    I put t know if it s possible because I m not a technician for laptop.
    Normally, you should only replace the motherboard with the same.

    I put t know if it works. Contact a local ASP and ask for a technician. They know where the other is, and if it would work.

  • Satellite Pro M10 freeze and crash with some programs

    Hello

    I have a M10 Pro Satellite...
    A few weeks ago it's freeze and crash with some programs like wmpayer, messenger... I delivered to the authorized agent and they had not detected any problems.
    Already I have formatted several times, but the problem persists.

    Any idea what this may be?

    Thank you

    Hello

    For me it looks like you might have a motherboard problem. Formatting removes the chance that it is a software problem. Try taking 1 stick of RAM and test with it. If she continues to crash, remove that stick and try it. If she does it with the two RAM then those who are ok. HARD drive is not the culprit, so now he could either be processor or MB. Find a program to measure the heat from the laptop and run some heavy programs do overheat. If the temperature goes up and then it crashes, it could just be overheating. If it continues without overheating you either have a CPU or MB problem. I hope this helps.

    Is it possible to change the motherboard for a Toshiba Satellite L100-121 PSLA0, which is a 945GMA of Intel graphics card, with a motherboard with the best video card, or just the video card?

    I want a better video card on my laptop, so I can change it?

    Hello

    You cannot move the graphics card because it s mounted on the motherboard.
    He welded s and cannot be deleted

    But I wonder why you want to replace the mobo together to get the best graphics card. Is that a card mother books is one of the expensive laptop parts.
    The replacement would cost about 300-400 euros.

    I think a desktop PC with a new graphics card would be much cheaper ;)

  • HP 550: updated hp 550 memory and cpu with the unconventional settings. is not ideal, but not other choice

    HI guys, I hope you can help or at least give a point in the right direction. I am a freelance photographer with a large part of the suite creative Adobe CS6. After a disaster of a week, I came home to find the motherboard on my editing station is fried somehow. I don't know what happened though I wouldn't put past my inattention of roommates.
    I'm desperate. I have to finish my current job until I'm able to afford to buy a replacement. So I have to rely on stop-gap measures, in desperation to finish my project, that are less than ideal, but so far are doing better than I'd hoped.
    Im a photographer, Capture One, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro are the go for workaholic applications that I need to work. without them I have no income. in order to have this machine run these applications,
    the machine I have left is an old hp 550 that was gathering dust in the closet. It was built for 32 bit Win XP and in no case is designed to run adobe products food pork I use, particularly of Lightroom.
    Unfortunately PS with Lightroom and first are 64-bit programs and LR and first are hyper threaded. so I did some research and with the help of the list of the utility windows 7 Advisor to upgrade instructions, I was able to get windows 7 Pro 64-bit to install and run.

    I know that this is not the ideal machine or the situation, but for a few weeks, I need to make it work.

    I really just 2 simple questions. First of all, I went to the HP technical support. but they were not useful. as the guarantee of the laptop are long gone, they would be not even polite and basically told me to shove off. Then on another forum, I called back and comes with a knowledge it all who constantly insisted on the fact that there was no way no how this pc could run 64 bit win 7, which i thought what am I seeing things? It works very well for 3 months. So I decided to come to you. your forums were useful on many occasions.

    Basically, I need this machine to run these programs during the next month or two, until I can buy a new machine.

    essentially, what I want to know, it's the motherboard support an upgrade of the processor? and if anything goes, what do you suggest as a substitute, given my needs? The Core 2 duo is the bare minimum of what I can limp with like photo/video rendering times are excessively slow.

    then I was talking to the support staff essential tech upgraded memory. and possibly set the bios to force to run 8 gigs of ram. They said that they have cold cannot find any version of bios that would make that possible, but only by forcing already run 64 bit, which has already allowed the pc to use the full 4 GB of ram, which was impossible in the 32-bit format. He suggested that I buy 2 4 gig modules such as 4 GB DDR2 PC2-5300 unbuffered NON - ECC, 1.8V 512Meg x 64 which can be seen at http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/memory/ct51264ac667 and try to install the full 8 concerts and see what would happen, saying that he had a feeling that I might get lucky. his logic is that the 64-bit system already open the ram limits and who knows, you can't make an omelet without cracking of eggshells! It seemed very optimistic. So, what do you think? It seems likely you because I love to work. or do you think the guy was a quack? and this whole endeaver is a waste of time and money?

    also, any other suggestions on how to time this month long storm that do not involve suggestions of buying new machines would be appreciated!

    Unfortunately, the maximum configuration is a processor T5670 1.8 ghz and 4 GB of DDR2-667 memory, you already have. The CPU includes the 64-bit instructions is not surprising, that it can run Windows 7 64-bit. My best advice is to save your money for when you can get a real working machine. The only other likely to help is a solid state drive, you might use in the laptop and then also use the new computer that you intend to buy.

  • HP PROBOOK 450 GB: Can I update my motherboard with a graphics card

    Hello

    I have a hp probook 450 GB (i3, 8 GB ram, 1 TB), and I wonder if I cand update my motherboard with a graphics card. Is this possible? My motherboard is 1949 Hewlett - Packard (U3E1).

    Thank you!

    The 450 G0 has either Intel HD 4000 or it can have switchable discrete Radeon 8750 M, but if you have the old, you will need to replace the whole motherboard to get one with Radeon graphics cards. Which may be prohibitive, but is theoretically possible. Can you replace your self? Parts will run a few hundred to a few hundred working (in dollars). You need the motherboard and a new radiator/cooling fan. Processor, wireless card memory could be reversed. Also your windows must be reactivated and eventually you will have to buy a new Windows license (which does not 100% the case) but Microsoft generally believes that it is a different computer if you swap out the motherboard.

    If still interested we can guide you through the details.

  • error on a blue screen after you set new Athlon Proc and motherboard - Strop 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0xba2cb756, 0xba4c742c, 0xba4c7128)

    Original title: I need emergency with a blue screen error after new Athlon Proc and motherboard.!

    I had to fix my computer professional brothers due to its motherboard out. So, I advanced and ordered a motherboard latest and processor and also much more memory because the PC was about 6 years old. After installing, I he started and configured the BIOS and thought that it should start right up because it was working fine until the motherboard is out and also I left to himself, the hard drive that has XP installed, because he was also big enough for what he needs. But instead of cranking up XP, I get this error every time even when I try and boot in safe mode.

    I have also ordered him a new copy of Windows 7 to update his OS, but until I can get into XP and do an upgrade, I'm stuck. (I have to do an upgrade because of her inability to save his business files before exiting the motherboard.)

    * Without the [] error code: [stop: 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0xba2cb756, 0xba4c742c, 0xba4c7128)]

    Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    There is the old motherboard-specific drivers (for example, video, network, bridge, BIOS, etc.) in XP loads that are not compatible with the new motherboard. Conversely, you may need drivers specific to the new motherboard (see the disc that came with the motherboard for details). You might have to perform a repair installation on the existing XP. When you started on the XP installation disc, do not take into account the first mention of repair and then accept the option the second time, you are prompted to repair the existing installation.

    To be honest, you also get a new drive of 500 GB for Windows 7. A hard drive of six year, or approximately 80Gb (...?) and who will get eaten up real quickly by installation of Windows 7. In addition, I don't think you can update directly from XP to Windows 7. I'm sure that there must be a Vista installation in the meantime, but I was called incorrectly.

  • will I have problems if I replace the OEM motherboard with a new?

    Someone at - it successfully system OEM motherboard replace?

    I'm fixing a child 6 years out of warranty HP m7160n Media Center PC with a motherboard failed.  If I replace the MB with a new one, I have software problems?  My goal is just to make a quick motherboard replacement and restore the computer to the owner with that little pain as possible.  What I don't want to do, is to have spend $90 (HP parts store wants $250) on a replacement motherboard and then have to deal with software problems then currently installed programs or the operating system.  It did not come with a Windows Media Center CD, everything is in the HP recovery partition the existing drive.

    It's my understanding that even though I am an end user, I should have no problem getting it registered/validated until I replace the motherboard with the same make and model that came in the original system.  Thanks in advance for your answers.

    A motherboard with like-for-like replacement should be no. emits either with software, drivers etc although you'll probably have to revalidate.

    Problems arise only if the new hardware is substantially different from the original, in particular with the chipset of the card. That being said however in many cases you should be able to boot and install the drivers required during the initial start-up. The only exception is the player interface as this may generate a blue screen INACCESIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE and the only way around this is to pre-install the new drivers on the old system before the change, though if the reason for this change is a dead motherboard that does not help.

    I once replaced a mobo with a failed IDE port by plugging a PCI one which enabled him to start, install the drivers for the card, install the drivers for the new Board of Directors and then replaced the Board of Directors.

    Regarding the licensing issues, it's a moot point on how you can replace before it ceases to be that a repair is disabled so the EULA. I saw someone claims that he could not get a direct replacement mobo a generic would not fit the case of mark and so it "replaces" the case as well. In other words it did take out the HARD drive and put it into a new clone system. Not permitted under this EULA.

  • Compaq presario C700 (C750EL): SSD info and motherboard

    I have a C750EL with T8100 processor and 3 GB of RAM, BIOS F.35

    I would like to know if it is possible to install a SSD HDD into the WiFi slot (mini PCIe, right?)

    my intention is to put a SSD quick 32-64 GB with operating system to boot from instead of internal WiFi and maintain my 250 GB SATA HD for data.

    someone has the manual of the motherboard with features complete? (not the simple maintenance manual)

    I can't find any doc on this mobo from 30 9 HP...

    I would like to install also the internal camera... any info?

    Thanks to all you guys

    The SSD into the slot wireless cannot be done. The slot is solely for a wireless card only. Even if an SSD in this location would be "mount" (it will not) it will not be bootable.

    HP does not have a manual of the complete motherboard available. The best thing that it would be maintenance and Service of Guide.

    Your only way to add an SSD is the 2.5 inch SATA variety, and you could put a second hard drive in an optical bay adapter. I think that your optical drive is mini-IDE but if it is not the fastest thing, probably ATA-33.

    Two points:

    1. it is unlikely that your current installation would work if
    you have changed motherboards. You need to reinstall itself.

    2 but you cannot use your current copy of Windows if you change
    motherboards, not even if reinstall you it cleanly. The largest
    disadvantage of an OEM version, is that its license it binds permanently
    the first computer, it is installed on and Microsoft believes that
    If you change the motherboards, another computer. It can never
    legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
    the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
    license dies with him.

  • Material: What i7 processor and motherboard can pay me for my construction Assembly of the machine?

    I work with the PC. I am running with a first-generation i7 980 x, a processor in a motherboard that is nice, but dated from 6. I was not told that the second generation i7 half price was a processor much better for video. Nevertheless, I held five years after my investment.

    Recently, I wanted to upgrade and my neck of the bottle is in my hard drives. I have one zero RAID but it is only syncing Seqential reads 295 MB/s and writing 304. When I run the process on one screen and work first on the other, I see that whenever there is a hiccup during playback, and what hard drive not show up where my RAM and CPU are not.

    To set the soft hard drive configuration that I have; I wanted to set up a RAID 0 SSD some for awhile. But I've been holding. I'm glad I did I think because now I want to jump on the PCI. E 3.0 SSD. My current motherboard's PCI. E 2.0. It is also a neck of the bottle in my video card (MSI GeForce GTX 680 N680GTX Twin Frozr 4 Video Card - 4 GB GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0(x16))

    So I want a new motherboard to unleash the potential of my video card, hard drive and RAM DDR4: Intel 750 series AIC 400 GB PCI-Express 3.0 x 4 MLC internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDPEDMW400G4X1 - Newegg.com

    Does anyone have any suggestions on a particular processor and motherboard should I consider? I've been watching this processor Processor Intel Core i7-4930 K Ivy Bridge - E 6-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 2011 130W BX80633i74930K Desktop - Newegg.com or this one I think I like better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117403

    Still no idea on a very particular motherboard. I guess one with several PCI. Slots E 3.0. I'll be in touch with ASUS to see if they have suggestions based on my desired material (which I have of him up to this day).

    Using CS6 or CC 2015? What the media, how many layers and what kind of effects, if necessary use you? (certainly talk about third-party plug-ins)

    If you are overclocking your 980 x now?

    East of 400 GB really enough workspace for all your files? (media, projects, zero/cache/swap and export)

    I know I am asking a lot of questions, but these things make a difference any on a few recommendations. Workflows and different tax brackets the PC in different ways.

    Recommendations of a general nature you could do now or more later:

    -If you have machines to slot/ports available in your current motherboard, there is no reason to wait for a new system add a PCIe SSD or 2 x 3 table SSD RAID 0 x (those can be convincing solutions still too)

    -Intel 750 1.2 to is on sale at Micro Center now for $649; I find this a really compelling case for that price - very fast, very reliable and compatible with multiple systems (M.2 solutions are more cutting edge, running more hot and seem to be less reliable in reading the user comments)

    -Not the fastest or most recent, making x 2 or x 3 (or more) RAID 0 arrays with the best drives SSD (Micron, Samsung 850 Pro, Intel 730) is a large enough to go so way too long as you have enough ports SATA; Here, too, you could do it now... a SSD RAID 0 array could still be hot fast when compared with your rotation on your old SATA ports

    -If you run CC 2015, it seems to me that Adobe has been out more our GPU if you always use the CS6. So, if you're on 2015 CC, you can upgrade to a 970 GTX or better and continue to use the GPU in a generation of new and future. BTW, I seriously doubt that your GPU is limited by PCIe 2.0, its just not that fast!

    New recommendations to build:

    -Think that Asus x 99 build (Deluxe, x 99-e WS or V Rampage)

    -Intel i7 - 5930 k or i7-5960 x (quick, easy to overclock 8 strands)

    -32 GB of RAM if only use body (64 GB so also use After Effects)

    -new GPU (GTX 970, 980, or 980-Ti)

    -If you do not upgrade to a 99 x new system (that's what I would say from a generation previous fast 6-core CPU), then Samsung 950 m2 512 GB drive can be the way you want to go

    -personally, I like the speed of the drive, but find 400GB, 512GB a little limiting

    Kind regards

    Jim
