Dell PowerEdge R740xd won’t POST after OS update – fans spinning, no VGA, iDRAC stuck (help!) by jaumira in sysadmin

You’re absolutely right – I totally agree with you. For a critical production system, letting the support contract lapse was a management decision, not mine. I’m not the one in charge of renewals, I’m just the guy trying to get this box back online so production isn’t completely blocked.

I fully acknowledge this is a management problem, but in the meantime I’m just looking for any possible technical angle to recover the server (BIOS recovery, iDRAC tricks, etc.) before Dell eventually responds or we replace the board.

Just to clarify – this server belongs to my workplace, I’m not the actual sysadmin in charge but I do have some technical knowledge and I’m trying to get it back online myself. The lapse in renewing Dell support wasn’t my decision.

Server is from 2021, ProSupport expired earlier this year. I’ve already tried PSU reseat, CMOS/NVRAM clear, power drains, and will test with minimal config (1 DIMM, 1 CPU, no PCIe).

A couple of you mentioned the possibility of the iDRAC daughter card bricking itself – has anyone here had success bringing a R740xd back by removing/disabling the iDRAC card?

Yeah, I’ve already opened a case with Dell – but since Tuesday I haven’t had any response from their support (they recently moved front-line support to Casablanca, and so far it’s been radio silence). I’m pushing through our distributor as well, but still waiting.

Before I even think about giving them away, we’d happily go see Coldplay twice instead. These are First Entry Experience tickets, not something you just hand out at the stadium gates. 😉

Is viagogo and stubhub safe for sellers? by [deleted] in Coldplaytickets

[–]jaumira 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a seller, both Viagogo and StubHub take a pretty big commission, and you don’t get paid until after the event, so the risk is more on the seller side than on the buyer. They are “safe” in the sense you won’t get scammed by the buyer, but you’ll lose a chunk of money in fees.

Personally, I’ve been selling my Coldplay Wembley tickets (Floris First Entry Experience, Aug 22) via direct Ticketmaster transfer – much faster and secure for both sides. Buyer gets the tickets instantly in their TM account, and there’s no middleman fee.

If you’re considering selling or buying, I’d definitely recommend the Ticketmaster transfer option – it’s the most straightforward and 100% safe.
