K7n2 Delta RAID Setup ----PLEASE HELP

Can someone explain how a RAID - Striping should be setup on this MOBO? I can not get the board to see the 2nd drive. I have duplicate Maxtor 40gb drives and it will only see one of the drives. I am using IDE3 for one of the drives and then putting the other drive on IDE1. The manual states that you can only have 1 HD on IDE3 thus the reason for setting it up this way. I have also tried the 2 maxtor drives on IDE1 with another drive on IDE3 (dummy RAID) hoping that this config would work as well, but it did not!
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

It does support RAID. I have been able to go into the Fastrack utility and setup a RAID consisting of one drive. The manual also states that all IDE slots support RAID. It has the promise 376 chip.

i have tried 2 different IDE cable i have tried, one that i had laying around and one that actually came with the motherboard; both produce the same result.
i don't have the enough money for another CD-R at this point, so i'm hoping that isn't the problem.
Oh yeah, I have CD-ROM set to primary master and HDD set to primary slave.
When the computer starts the CD-R lights come up but i don't think its spinning the disc i'm trying [which is Win XP Pro]
PLEASE if you have any suggestions let me know, i REALLY want to get this machine going on, its been the goal of the month to get this puppy runnin and i finally got all the hardware for it =p
i have also tried setting both drives to cable select and yet a third IDE cable.
anything in the BIOS that might be causing this?

Hello, I had the same problem the other day and the thing was that apparently, the MBR of my HDD was unable to be read in this computer, in other words some kind of incompatibility.
Try pressing the keys when the press any key message should come (but it doesnt).
Try also booting with another hdd and lets see if you can reach the WinXP installation.

XP Install failed on K7N2 Delta-ILSR! Please help!

Hi all
Just wondering if you an lend me a hand here. I have tried to install XP on my new hard disk, and half way though the install (when the GUI has loaded etc.) I generally get a stop error saying there has been a failure in ntfs.sys but I also had an error in IRQ allocation.
I have run memtest and I have received errors in tests 4, 5, 6 and 7 (about 1000 at the end of test 5). The memory I have is 512MB of DDR400 PC3200, Elixir RAM.
The readout on timings from memtest was:
199MHz DDR399 CAS: 3-3-3-8
Do I need to send this memory back (ie is it f**ked?)
Here are the rest of my specs if necessary:
AMD Athlon 1.0GHz (133MHz FSB) (L1 Cache: 128K, L2 Cache: 256K)
PowerBox KY330ATX 350W Max PSU
(Power ratings: +3.3V=15.0A
+5V=14.0A
+12V=8.0A
+5Vsb=2.0A
-5V=0.3A
-12V=1.0A)
Western Digital Caviar 120GB 7200RPM 8MB Cache
Radeon 9200Pro AGP8x
Creative Soundblaster Live! 5.1
Anything else I've missed that might affect it, please just tell me.
If I need to adjust RAM timings etc please tell me how to do this.
If I just need to send the RAM back, well, thats easy.
Cheers!
Al Jones

Hi,
Wow! Are these for real? Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?

If they are correct, I'd seriously think about upgrading your PSU!!!
I don't think I've seen a +12v rail (8.0A) as low as this on the forum before! (or is it a typo and it's really 18?)
General consensus on the forum is that the minimum recommended for these boards are (as a general rule):
+3.3V - 28A
+5V - 35A
+12V - 18A
Also, does your PSU have the extra 12v+ (4-pin) that the K7N2 requires?
This may not be directly responsible for your memory problems (tho' I certainly wouldn't rule it out)!

MOVED: need help with my k7n2 delta series motherboard please

This topic has been moved to AMD SocketA based board.
need help with my k7n2 delta series motherboard please

"...the other memory ive been using is memorymaxx 512mb ddr 3200..." If I understood right, your'e actually using both memories at same time so, your'e lucky if it works. We have said thousand times that mixing dif. brand/make/speed memories is a bad idea, most with this Mobo that is very picky about ram. If you want to avoid slowdown problems, stay with only one stick ( the better one ) until you can buy at same time in same store, 2 identical memories to replace the old one.

0FI_AP_4 - Delta Extraction Problem - Please help

Hi,
I activated the business content ODS 0FIAP_O03 and the relevant infosource for Accounts Payable and also did the init. In R/3 I created an Invoice using FB60 transaction and Posted the payment using F-53 transaction. I can see the document in BSAK table which the 0FI_AP_4 extractor is using but when I see the delta queue in RSA7 there are 0 records for the extractor 0FI_AP_4 which means the new changes are not pushed to the delta queue. Please help.
Thanks.

Hi Thiagu,
Try running a delta load 0FI_AP_4 using the tcode RSA3 in your R/3 system? Are you seeing your document there?
I would also check RAS7 in R/3, and to make sure the delta init has taken properly. You can also check for your document there.

Win ME vs. K7N2 Delta raid drivers

I am seriously wondering if there is such a thing called "no conflict PC".
After an enormous headache concerning s-ata hdd and smart/temp readings....which I gave up, a new problem arises today, well, it must have been there from the day 1.
Running Win ME (dual boot, don’t ask why) I tried copying a few big files on s-ata drive (K7N2 Delta ILSR mobo) connected via raid. And everything stops??!?! Mouse pointer freezes, winamp stops, everything is dead for a few seconds than it reverts back to normal, copy s a few second, and freezes everything again.
So I look in system properties, s-ata drive is using ms-dos compatibility mode, ? I tried adding a P-ata drive on raid controller and removing a s-ata drive, same thing. Great, drivers are at "IT" again. And normally, raid controller is disabled saying "windows stopped responding while attempting to start this device, and will never try to start them again". So I tried to reinstall drivers, and after rebooting I got a "windows protection error, system halted" BSOD. Rebooted again, windows up and running, but the RAID is disabled again, ms-dos compatibility mode welcome back.
Interesting thing is, while watching movies, playing games...and stuff form s-ata drive I have no problems and no freezes, copying a DVD on a same drive makes no problems, but as soon as I try to copy a file from a hdd, freezing is back. Go figure.
Any ideas?

Quote
ms-dos compatibility mode
If I remember correctly, that is, or was a BIOS option on the K7N pre Delta and Delta boards, and should not be enabled, might wanna look into that. I inquired about that to MSI engineers back when the Delta was released, and was told not to enable it.
Oh,.. and WinME will lose every time Win ME vs. K7N2 Delta raid drivers

Overclocking K7N2 Delta L advice please

I was wondering if someone could make my life a little bit easier and help me out with overclocking.
I read the sticky about it, but I am still confused about the voltage etc.
I have a K7N2 Delta L motherboard,
Athlon XP+ 2400 cpu
512 stick 333 MHZ ram
512 stick 400 MHZ ram
Powercolor Radeon 9600Pro video card
What is the safest settings in bios and motherboard jumpers to go to in regards to overclocking?
I am kind of hoping that someone else who has the same setup has overclocked and they can just tell me what settings they have got so I can try to copy lol.
I know it's cheating but I don't feel very confident so I thought it would be safer this way
Thanks in advance

Also you can try raising the vcore slightly and maybe get a few more MHz.
This one I could'n't do because the CPU VCore Select & CPU Ratio settings where both set to "By H/W" so I didn't know where to start with that one..
I was just wondering, how far can I go with overclocking or this about it? I mean like I decided I wanted to learn how to do it and all that but I never really had an idea how far I can Overclock it to.
In the bios move down to where cpu vcore says By H/W and use the page up/page
down key to select the vcore you want. I would raise my fsb 1MHz at a time till I
reached max fsb before I'd raise the vcore but as you raise the vcore you will also
get higher cpu temps. With the multiplier @ 15 I don't think you can go too much
higher on fsb with that cpu. I'd go as high as I could remaining stable then back off
a couple MHz. In my opinion, with a cpu locked multiplier, the 2500+ Barton with 11
multiplier is the best overclocker. Most will do 200 fsb at stock 1.65 vcore no sweat.
Then the 2500+ in a sense becomes the 3200+

K7N2 Delta-L Compatibility Issues HELP

I am currently building a system to use as a development server. Here are all the parts I have used.
[list=a]
K7N2 Delta L Motherboard
AMD Athlon 2800+ 333 FSB
PowMax Case 400W Power Supply
Western Digital HD 80GB UDMA 100 7200 RPM
Western Digital HD 20GB UDMA 100 7200 RPM
Plextor PX-W5224TA BLACK CDRW
ATI Radeon 9000 64MB AGP 4x
VOLCANO 7+ RT Fan to replace standard Athlon Fan[/list=a]
I have assembled the entire system but have run into a road block. I get the BLUE SCREEN of death everytime I try to install the system. I have double checked all jumpers on every piece of hardware. I have also double checked everything in my BIOS, which is at the current version. I have also disable and swaped hardware to narrow the problem.
I still got the error message. Naturally I assumed it was now the RAM. I started with a Kingston HyperX KHX2700/512 module. I put in in the second DIMM slot. I then went out and bougth another Kingston Module KVR333/512. Still the same error. I then tried slower RAM, PNY PC2100 512 Module. All modules placed in the second DIMM. I even tried moving them to the first DIMM slot. Again the same problem.
With the Kingston memory the FSB/DRAM ration was 1:1 and the FSB was set to 166mhz. I have found numerious posts in this forum and tried them all. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Any and all help is appreciated.
I think it's either my RAM choice or PSU. Here are the schematics for the PSU.
+5v 30a max
-12v 0.8a max
-5v 0.3a max
+12v 25a max
+3.3v 28a max+5sb 2.0a max
I have plugged in the 12v cpu power supply as well. System and Bios cache disabled. I have tried installing Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP Pro. No luck on any.

Hi,
Brownman: Although disabling APIC seems to have solved your problem, it may come back and bite you on the a**. The APIC option in the BIOS gives your OS 22 (or 23 I forget which) IRQ addresses for different pieces of hardware you install. With APIC disabled you are restricted to 16 IRQ's (0-15) if you install a lot of new hardware in the future, you may run out of IRQ's. If you are installing XP it's also a good idea to install it with PNP OS disabled in the BIOS.
BTW, you didn't have an "Active" cable connected to your NIC card while you were installing XP? If this is the case you should unplug it - this can stop an XP install dead in it's tracks.

FLEX and CF Debugger setup - PLEASE HELP

I can't get the line debugger for CF in eclipse to work for
the life of me. I've been trying this for over 8 hours now. I
follow the directions on all the tutorials out there on the web and
still no luck. All my CF admin settings are correct. I think it has
to do w/ the debug mappings but not sure. I have a remote CF server
and am running Flex Builder 3 off of my local laptop (so wouldn't
that mean that the server and Eclipse are not on the same machine?)
My web root is a mapped network drive to the remote CF machine
(z:\websites). I can connect to the CF RDS fine... I can use the
wizards fine... I can set the breakpoints on the CFC page fine...
but the debugger just will not show me any variables. Please help
me to understand what I am doing wrong.

For anyone having difficulty setting up the debugger please
follow these steps (btw all the tutorials out there are awful and
leave out important steps so I thought I'd document this to help
others out). Being a software application developer and not a
network admin these remote paths can be rather difficult to
understand.
1. uninstall any Flash player or plugins you have
2. run and install the Flash player and debugger that comes
with Flex Builder (its located in the Flex installation folder,
mine was under C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\Player\win).
You'll see 3 files, but only need to install Flash Player Active X
and Plugin
3. Ensure you'r debugger and tester are working (CF line
debugging is enabled). In Windows Preferences under Adobe -->
RDS click the 2 test buttons.
4. Install CFEclipse (to be able to get code hints and have
Eclipse color code cfm and cfc's like DreamWeaver does)
5. Make sure you have 2 breakpoints in the section you want
the debugger to stop. I was using 1 and on an empty space and that
wasn't stopping on the breakpoints. Also make sure the breakpoints
are on a coldfusion command line.
6. If you are using localhost don't add anything to the
mappings section other than
http://localhost:(your port
number, if you run CF admin you will see the port number in your
URL). If you have a CF server remotely though this is the TOUGH
part. It took me days to figure out my mappings. I'll just give you
my setup and work with that to figure out you're own.
I mapped my remote server drive to Z:\ and my WWWroot is
z:\websites so the correct Eclipse path = z:\websites.
The correct Coldfusion path is /websites (don't ask me why or
how, but anything other than this was not working)
7. Run the debugger by clicking the right arrow next to the
debug icon, select Other and select CF(launch a new config is you
dont have one already). When you set it up and press "Debug"...
press F11 to run a browsing session. Navigate to the page you set
breakpoints for and the debugger should work!
I hope this helps and saves others the agony of playing
around with mappings.

E 6 Personal Mail setup -- please help

Hello E6 experts,
can you please help me with the steps involved in setting up personal mailboxes in the E6? It's been asked before here... Every time I begin using the mail setup "wizard" I only reach the option for Mail for Exchange. How can one bypass that to setup Gmail and a regular, Imap personal mail box? What might I be missing? Thanks in advance...

Hello again,
I just found out about the problem-- One has to have a SIM card installed (at least for the first time) to be given the options for the various mail services up-front during mail setup. I was trying t do this without a SIM card --using the WiFi connection-- which every other cell phone I have owned allowed me to do. Apparently the E6 is different... Perhaps this will help someone

Generic Delta...Please help

Hi,
I have used one date field 'ERDAT' in generic delta and data extraction has been done through custom build function module.During delta upload , while debugging of my FM I have found that this delta field 'ERDAT' is taking the date that is 1 day ahead of last data extraction(i.e if I run INIT on 21.02.2006 ERDAT becomes 22.02.2006 or if I run a delta on 23.02.2006 ERDAT becomes 24.02.2006).Is this the way system always taking care of delta relevent field ??
Please help.....
Thanks in advance..

Hi Pousali,
AS Roberto has already said tht it depends on the Safety interval defined by us, however to do so we have got three option to go with.
1) If delta field is Date (Record Create Date or change date), then use Upper Limit of 1 day.
This will load Delta in BW as of yesterday. Leave Lower limit blank.
2) If delta field is Time Stamp, then use Upper Limit of equal to 1800 Seconds (30 minutes).
This will load Delta in BW as of 30 minutes old. Leave Lower limit blank.
3) If delta field is a Numeric Pointer i.e. generated record # like in GLPCA table, then use
Lower Limit. Use count 10-100. Leave upper limit blank. If value 10 is used then last 10
records will be loaded again. If a record is created when load was running, those records
may get lost. To prevent this situation, lower limit can be used to backup the starting
sequence number. This may result in some records being processed more than once.
Hope it helps!!!!

5800 MMS Setup - Please Help

Hi,
I can receive MMS on my Nokia 5800 but cannot send. I have received the server settings from my service provider and saved it. Did the setup and rebooted my phone, but it keeps on going to the outbox and it will try and resend every 10 min.
I did phone my service provider but they cannot assist me as the network settings are as far as they can assist.
Please help me, I am desperate. I really tried everything.
Regards,
Malinda V

I guess, you're not all that stupid. You can upload, but not download. You can use the phone as a modem, whitch uses the same config files they send you. Facebook could very well be the culprit, because it uses the same connection. Exit all apps before connecting your browser. If this problem continues, contact your SP( 50MB? they should be ashamed) again and again and again till they sorted it out. You rule!

Reset server password/setup PLEASE HELP!!

Hi, thank for looking at this and trying to help.
I am the proud owner of a mac mini lion server. The problem is in my playing around with getting a new product (like we all do) I came across the server I have done some research and I really like the idea of it and want to put it into good use. (the reason I got the server one was because of the better hard drive, before you ask why did I get it if I didn't know what the server bit is)
The only problem is, whilst playing around I set up the server. I now go back into the server app and it says type in admin name and password which is already on there in the key chain. I press connect and it fail. ( whic is weird as I would of had to of typed it in for it to be in the key chain)
I have tried different user names as I only use one password. And still it shakes at me saying it's wrong.
The question is how can I reset the Account? Without losing all my info.
PLEASE HELP I want to use this great feature!!

Same problem as the others. I have a 2 week old Mac Mini and arrived at this point after I'd followed the Hoffman Labs (http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436) DNS setup and not being able to get past the "Available Servers (0)" problem rported elsewhere and then a subsequent new system restore. I also can't get past the:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
Current HostName = server.local
The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.
I feel I'm at the point of an erase and clean install.

MSI K7N2 Delta RAID question

Hi guys,
Again with the stupid questions. At least my questions are easy.
I've been dieing to hook up a couple o' SATA drives and run RAID, striping, on my MSI K7N2 Delta. I ordered a couple 200Giger Seagate Barracuda's tonight. Couldn't pass up the deal even though I shouldn't have spent the $.
OK, here's my stupid question: Can you partition a drive(s) in RAID 0? I would like to partition like 10GB for the OS and the rest for like apps and download storage. If I ever have to reformat the OS I only have to redo the 10GB partition. Thanks for bearing through my stupid questions, I'm just excited to do this and can't wait to find out.

Ok guys, thanks again.
I kinda figured it would be business as usual, but I wasn't sure.
I am very curious about speed performance. I'm not sure it would be worth it from what I've read about RAID 0. Apparently it will be good for like video editing operations which I will be doing a little bit of for my web site. I will find out for myself though, and I do need more room. So, regardless the space is needed and I wouldn't mind a bit more performance.
I have the RAID drivers on floppy disk that came with the mobo. I think I'm all set except for drives that will arrive this week some time.

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Dead? Help!

Hey all,
Well, the other day I was on my computer playing a game when my mobo fan started making an odd noise (as if switching rpm), so I took off the side of my case and took a look inside. Everything seemed to be functioning properly, then I switched my cpu fan speed via the pci slot speed control. As I switched from High-Medium-Low, I noticed that the fan actually slowed to the point where I could see the blades spinning, at least for a second or so. I found that rather odd, seeing as how I've never seen a fan (especially a cpu fan) slow to the point that I could see the blades spin. Anyway, a couple of hours later, I shut down and went to sleep.
The next day I had my comp on for about maybe 30mins to an hour or so when suddenly I heard an alarm from the computer speaker, so I was like, ":censored:?" since I had never heard it before. It was evidently the temperature warning, which I had set to 70C. So I shut down within 15 seconds and opened up the side of my case.
I noticed that the cpu fan wasn't moving at all (usually I'd open the case in time to see the spin-down). So I turned the computer back on and the fan didn't budge, so I immediately powered down, assuming that the CPU Fan had died. Later on, I hooked the fan itself up to a free power cord in my sister's computer and booted up, along with the speed controller, flipping from medium to high to low without any problems.
I then did screwed the fan back to the heatsink in my comp and booted up. I went into the bios an noticed that the rpm was 8k, which is way too high for my fan (normally 5k). So i began switching from high, medium, to low once again, then I saw that the rpm reader in the bios went to 0. So I looked back in the side of my case and saw that the cpu fan was once again dead. At this point I concluded that it was the fan and was about to order the Volcano 12.
A day later I placed the fan inside my sister's computer on a free cord, yet again, and yet again, it worked fine.
I once again put it in my computer to test and this time it worked fine, even while switching between speeds. Unfortunately, I then noticed that the mobo fan was not moving, then began to move.
Well, I'm guessing now that it's simply the motherboard that has a short, since both the motherboard fan as well as the cpu fan have randomly been dying the past few days. The motherboard fan; however, has switched rpm many times in the past from 5k to 3k.
It could also be a PSU problem, but I have Antec 400watt psu and it's been working fine for the past 2 years, so I doubt it. I've had the motherboard for a little over a year. I upgraded my cpu from 2200+ to 3000+ in July. That's also when I bought the cpu fan. The motherboard fan began fluctuating in rpm noticeably back in April or May of this year.
Yesterday, I used the computer again and had it on for about 2 hours or so and I had speedfan monitoring the temps and the rpm. The temps stayed relatively stable: 48 cpu, 44 mobo.
But alas, the RPMs were totally [blame me for the swear filter] up. At one point, both the mobo and cpu fan speeds were reading 0, even though both continued to spin within the case and the temps remained the same. Then after 30mins or so, they cpu fan began reading again at 40,000-42,000rpm, which is obviously incorrect, seeing as the fan is rated for around 5k. I got/get the same readings in the bios, both fans reading at 0rpm as they continue to physically spin.
Also, during a number of times that I've started up the comp within the past few days, the motherboard northbridge fan wasn't spinning at all and didn't begin to until a few minutes into my windows session.
Also, I took out the NB fan and noticed a slight crack in the back of it.
I was considering simply just buying the Volcano 12 and the MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum rather than RMAing the mobo. Then perhaps an Antec 550W psu, if necessary.
Any ideas what I should replace and in which order? And has anybody else encountered any similar problems with this mobo (at least with the mobo rpm, which has been a prob for about 6months on and off)?
I bought the mobo along with a 2200+ in July of 2003. I upgraded the ram from 256 to 512 in April 2004 (which is around the time I started hearing rpm probs with the mobo fan) and I upgraded the cpu in July of 2004
Many Thanks!
My Specs are as follows:
Windows XP Professional SP1
Antec SX1040B2 File Server Case
400watt Antec PSU
MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (2.17GHz)
Thermaltake TR2 M2 HSF
Kingston 256MB of PC2700 DDR-333MHz RAM

nForce Ethernet Adapter w/Cable line
Logitech MX500 Optical Mouse
Logitech Elite Keyboard
19" Envision Monitor EN985e
Logitech Z-680 5.1 Speakers

Could be a fluctuating PSU that's breaking down power to the MB. You have a whole lot of components dragging that PSU down. With what you have in your rig I would run either an Antec or Enermax 550W. Best way to be sure is to borrow a PSU or buy one from a store with a good return policy so that you can return it if indeed it turns out to be the MB. If I don't have your board here on my bench to test the only thing I can suggest to you is to swap out components unfortunately.
