      Mmm, I've got an m.2 SATA drive here that behaves similarly. It usually allows an install but throws errors continually. Shows as good in tests, though with a lot of ware. I wouldn't trust it with anything vaguely important! Odd to see the same on two drives though.

        The other one was showing errors about read write and invalid geometry and invalid primary GPT using secondary. Even writing DD zeros to it produced errors.

        Unfortunately I can not test that one anymore as I no longer have it to test.

                        @networkBob Can’t really find much on the board, can you see a header to clear BIOS Password ? If not you would require to re-program the BIOS chip, I’ve done quite a few on Security Appliances and Laptops.

                        Regards.

                          I think you may be replying to an old post there. 😉

                          Most of that has been solved or at least understood at this point.

                            @stephenw10 My bad. Sorry about that, I saw the post on a email notification so thought I’d chime in.

                              Thanks everyone for the info! I realized leter that the PS was on that image. jejejje
                              Another question. It make sense to use SATA port with a SSD instead the MSATA? I saw that we can disable the MSATA PORT, so we can test on the SSD without buying another disk or removing the original.

                                Yes, if you have a spare SSD or mSATA drive you can just swap it in and retain the original driver and OS.

                                  So now my M470 works flawlessly with the SSD disk but I have two issues:

                                  1. The names of the interfaces: IG0 and so on BUT begining from the PCI MODULE: so my port 0 on the front of the M470 is IGB08 and so on. The extra module with 6 ports is 0 to 6
                                  2. The external module, works and is detected BUT when I connect the network to these ports, the system dont detect the conection ever.

                                  Have you the same issues?
                                  TNX

                                    Yes, the ports in the add-on module are parsed first. I'm not aware of a six port module though. I've seen the 8 port 1G module and 4 port 10G module.

                                      @stephenw10 Sorry my mistake, it's 8 port.
                                      Apparently works well because it detects (first) but when I connect the cables the interface never detects the conection in any of the 8 ports.

                                        Like no link LEDs? ifconfig never shows the link as up?

                                          @stephenw10 Done! I was the port mapping on the module. WATCH M470 ports.png

                                          Perfect!
