Hi all,
I'm trying to set up an EATON 5SC UPS with my FreeNAS system (see sig). The A1SAi-2750F only has two USB2.0 ports which are occupied by mirrored boot drives, so I need to connect the UPS to one of the rear USB3.0 ports. Here are my current BIOS settings:
I don't know which port to select in the UPS config in the FreeNAS GUI. When I connect the UPS to a USB3 port, nothing shows up in /var/log/messages. I tried a few other USB devices (USB3.0 flash drive, USB2.0 flash drive, USB2.0 mouse) but there were still no messages.
I've also tried configuring the UPS service in the FreeNAS GUI and starting the service. I selected the usbhid-ups driver and then went through each of the available ports, starting the service each time, but it doesn't start and I get the following console messages:
I have tried changing XHCI Hand-off to Enabled in the BIOS. With these settings I can boot but the outcome is the same as described. I can't boot if I change USB3.0 Support to Enabled.
Not sure what to try next so I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks for reading!
Tom
I'm trying to set up an EATON 5SC UPS with my FreeNAS system (see sig). The A1SAi-2750F only has two USB2.0 ports which are occupied by mirrored boot drives, so I need to connect the UPS to one of the rear USB3.0 ports. Here are my current BIOS settings:
Code:
Legacy USB Support Enabled USB3.0 Support Disabled XHCI Hand-off Disabled EHCI Hand-off Enabled USB Mass Storage Driver Support Enabled Port 60/40 Emulation Enabled
I don't know which port to select in the UPS config in the FreeNAS GUI. When I connect the UPS to a USB3 port, nothing shows up in /var/log/messages. I tried a few other USB devices (USB3.0 flash drive, USB2.0 flash drive, USB2.0 mouse) but there were still no messages.

I have tried changing XHCI Hand-off to Enabled in the BIOS. With these settings I can boot but the outcome is the same as described. I can't boot if I change USB3.0 Support to Enabled.
Not sure what to try next so I would appreciate any suggestions.
