### Description

Enable Synology M.2 PCIe cards in Synology NAS that don't officially support them

Allows using E10M20-T1, M2D20, M2D18 or M2D17 cards in Synology NAS models that aren't on their [supported model list](https://github.com/007revad/Synology_enable_M2_volume/wiki/Models-that-support-PCIe-M.2-cards).

- Enables E10M20-T1, M2D20, M2D18 and M2D17 for DS1823xs+, DS1821+, DS1621+.
  - Enables M2D18 and M2D17 for DS2422+, RS2423+, RS2421+, RS2421RP+, RS2821RP+.
  - Enables M2D18 and M2D17 for RS822RP+, RS822+, RS1221RP+ and RS1221+ using DSM 7.1.1 and older.
  - May enable E10M20-T1, M2D20, M2D18 and M2D17 for other models with a PCIe x8 slot that have /usr/syno/synonvme.

[Synology HDD db](https://github.com/007revad/Synology_HDD_db) now enables using Storage Manager to create volumes on M.2 drives in a PCIe M.2 adaptor card.

## Which Synology models will this work on

**Works on the following models:**

| **others** | maybe | maybe | maybe | maybe | See Other Models Notes |

**Notes** 
1. Synology added support for the M2D18 in RS822+ and RS1221+ in DSM 7.2
2. [E10M20-T1 needs 1cm cut off](https://github.com/007revad/Synology_enable_M2_card/discussions/59) to fit into a RS2418RP+/RS2418+

**Other Models Notes** 
- The Synology must have a PCIe x8 slot
- DSM must include /usr/syno/bin/synonvme
- DSM must include /usr/lib/libsynonvme.so.1

**Should work for the following models but I have not tested them:**

## How to run the script

### Download the script

1. Download the latest version _Source code (zip)_ from https://github.com/007revad/Synology_enable_M2_card/releases
2. Save the download zip file to a folder on the Synology.
    - Do ***NOT*** save the script to a M.2 volume. After a DSM or Storage Manager update the M.2 volume won't be available until after the script has run.
3. Unzip the zip file.

### Running the script via SSH

[How to enable SSH and login to DSM via SSH](https://kb.synology.com/en-global/DSM/tutorial/How_to_login_to_DSM_with_root_permission_via_SSH_Telnet)

**Note:** Replace /volume1/scripts/ with the path to where the script is located.
Run the script then reboot the Synology:
```YAML
sudo -s /volume1/scripts/syno_enable_m2_card.sh
```

**Options:**
```YAML
  -c, --check           Check M.2 card status
  -r, --restore         Restore from backups to undo changes
  -e, --email           Disable colored text in output scheduler emails.
      --autoupdate=AGE  Auto update script (useful when script is scheduled)
                        AGE is how many days old a release must be before
                        auto-updating. AGE must be a number: 0 or greater
      --model=CARD      Automatically enable specified card model
                        Required if you want to schedule the script
                        CARD can be E10M20-T1, M2D20, M2D18 or M2D17
  -h, --help            Show this help message
  -v, --version         Show the script version
```

### What about DSM updates?

After any DSM update you will need to run this script again.

### Schedule the script to run at shutdown

Or you can schedule Synology_enable_M2_card to run when the Synology shuts down, to avoid having to remember to run the script after a DSM update.

See <a href=how_to_schedule.md/>How to schedule a script in Synology Task Scheduler</a>
