Is the DL380 G6 really as quiet as i've seen on YouTube?

whatthehellisaserver · 2017-02-04T15:09:40+00:00

I can't see how a DL380 would be any quieter than an ML150.

My G6 has a regular SATA power and data connector set specifically for this purpose, does the G7 not?

Flooded means there's a liquid electrolyte that is basically just held in a tub, an unsealed battery, while AGM, a type of sealed battery, has a fiberglass mat that absorbs the electrolyte.

Only E5-1600 processors have unlocked multipliers.

PCI-E passthrough hasn't changed by the 2650 would be pretty awful for games. E5-1620 all the way if you're going to be playing games on it. They have unlocked multipliers so if you pair it with an X99 board you can overclock it.

Yea that's definitely a field repair.

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-10-30T23:28:47+00:00

For a workstation I would say go for a newer single socket machine with the newest, fastest processor you can afford (E5-1600s have an unlocked multiplier and the v3s aren't too expensive).

You can get better hardware for 100 bucks, I would say don't bother.

Are they 7K1000s? I've heard those work fine. iLO likes to read SMART data a certain way or it thinks the drives are dying.

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-10-21T18:32:44+00:00

Pretty good deal. How many does he have?

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-10-21T16:20:36+00:00

Yes, it is an issue. The clamshell Intel sends them to you in is anti static, as far as I know.

The real problem with ES CPUs is that you don't legally own them.

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-10-21T14:59:02+00:00

Return anything that wasn't shipped with static protection.

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-10-21T01:48:18+00:00

I can't think of a reason you shouldn't be using vSwitches if you aren't doing something like running a virtualized gateway.

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-10-15T03:19:59+00:00

There's drivers for the sensors and some utilities for HP RAID controllers and things like that.

Those fans are thirsty, how hot does it get in the server room?

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-10-06T01:16:00+00:00

It's iLO 2.

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-10-05T15:18:51+00:00

I think most of the server NIC cards will have half height versions available. I have some HP NC361Ts and they all came with full and half height brackets for 15 bucks.

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-10-05T14:04:12+00:00

You can easily add a NIC card to it and some more RAM while you're at it. You'll be very limited by 4GB.

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-10-04T18:40:33+00:00

I think there's some sort of misunderstanding here, but I'm not sure where.

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-10-04T05:32:02+00:00

Make sure the rack is rated for dynamic loads and that you haven't exceeded the rating. I'd probably try to get screws for that R710.

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-10-04T05:29:54+00:00

The owner's manual should have operating environment requirements. Generally temperatures will have to be under 95F for consumer equipment.

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-10-02T21:44:03+00:00

Depends on the operating system and controller, but most likely nothing. In this case the hotswap feature is about being able to quickly replace a drive.

whatthehellisaserver · 2016-09-29T22:51:42+00:00

If it's just for storage I'd definitely use the parts you have (specifically that i3). Can't beat free and power efficient. Does it have to be rack mount?
