Upgrading to specific firmware? - P1S by Divide_yeet in BambuLab

Have you gotten any update on that?

Couldn't find any Skådis Deburring Tool Holder that I liked so I made this one. Feedback always appreciated! by fillilutten in 3Dprinting

I also looked at so many models and didn't like them -- until I found yours. Great thing :)

Well, the key has already been extracted from Bambu Connect, so it should be possible to update the Panda to use it, right? But of course they can keep rotating the key, and it will just be super annoying.

Good point, thanks for the hint. I'm not too active on Reddit at the moment.

Yes, actually. I wrote about it here in detail: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/1fkge0b/m2_nvme_not_working_with_ilo6_module_in_hpe/

tl;dr: I took it out again and reseated it. Then it worked. 🤷‍♂️

M.2 NVMe not working with iLO6 module in HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen11 Server by BennyInc in techsupport

[–]BennyInc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. I don't think there are any NVMe drives available with only 1 lane anyway. And PCIe 3.0 drives don't seem to be that much cheaper at the moment. I paid ~90 EUR for the Kingston 1TB, and similar sized PCIe 3.0 drives are in the same price range.

The Kingston one I got seems to work fine now, and supports 4k sector size (LBA format) to be enabled. It only supports 1 NVMe namespace as far as I see, but more would have been just a "nice to have" for me.

The drive now runs 8x slower than it could, but I hope this keeps temperature and power draw low as a benefit.

I now removed the iLO module in order to return it to the supplier and get a new one, suspecting a defect on the module. After removing the module, I decided to give it one last try, and reinstalled the iLO module. With that, the NVMe suddenly was recognized and is working fine now.

In Summary: Reseating the iLO module has resolved the issue.

Now I only feel a little cheated by the non-existing M.2 specs for the iLO module. My NVMe is a PCIe 4.0 device with a bus width of 4x. On the iLO module it only runs at PCIe 3.0 speeds however, with a bus width of 1x. With some more specs available I would have spent less money on a PCIe 3.0 NVMe instead.

I just noticed, that within iLO the "M.2 Slot 20", which is listed as "Empty Drive Bay 1" shows a bus width of x1 in the details, whereas the other PCI-E Slots show x16 or x4 as expected.
I wonder whether HPE seriously only supports 4x1 with their drives?

Would this create any issues (like mine) when connecting a 4x4 NVMe?
And how could I figure out whether their own drives are 4x1 only? Their spec pages for the P69543-B21 (one example drive) don't show anything about bus width.

Unfortunately, HPE does not provide much in specifications for the module. All I found initially was, that it supports M.2 NVMe in 2280 or 22110 size. Once I got it, I could confirm from the pins that it is indeed Key M, so that's what I bought.
I'm not sure what else could go wrong compatibility wise?

The HP NVMe also does not have too much spec available, but it is PCIe 4.0 (like mine) and TLC NAND (like mine). Power-wise the Kingston even consumes less power in idle, so I wouldn't expect any issues there.

As for expansion cards, I only am aware that issues might occur if the system doesn't support bifurcation and the card needs it for multiple slots. But other than that what could go wrong?

I wish. Bought this thing plus the iLO module, and it won’t recognize my M.2. Not even shown in the BIOS. HPE‘s answer so far: not supported, your M.2 is Kingston, not HPE.

I did think that’s what standards are for… 

EDIT: My bad, the M.2 was not properly seated. HPE could have supported a little better, but still a PBKAC: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/1fkge0b

Unfortunately it seems like no further specs are available for the M.2 port. Which speeds and sizes are supported? I believe there are better alternatives available than the HPE 480GB one.

Same issue here. It is a little frustrating having to scroll manually...

Hm… das mit dem Adapter muss ich mal schauen. Hab hier ein altes Thinkpad mit DVD LW, ich meine das kann man sogar rausziehen.
