    Aruba MAS series SFP+ & POE+ switches sub-$100

    Or, you could just snip that wire and wrap the end with electrical tape and not have to take the plug apart...

    Aruba MAS series SFP+ & POE+ switches sub-$100

    I can't help you with that although there are some commands about fans (see the user and cli guides). I can say that with about 10 of 24 twisted pair and 2 of 4 SFP+ ports in use mine runs just fine with the default fan settings.

    Mellanox CX312C with Windows 10

    Thanks. I got my card on Thursday and it's been running great. My only issue is that it only came with the low profile bracket and my server is full-height. Any idea if the bracket for the CX312A or CX312B will fit?

    Mellanox CX312C with Windows 10

    I'm looking at a Mellanox Connect-X 3 card that's available locally. It's to replace a Chelsio card I could never get to run for more than a few minutes without crashing my Windows 10 box connected to an Aruba S2500, accessing a SuperMicro-based FreeNAS. The card is labeled CX312C, and it's...

    Aruba MAS series SFP+ & POE+ switches sub-$100

    So - this is kind of strange... I was down at the switch, stepping through the menus on the front panel and I forgot to engage brain before activating fingers - I inadvertently hit "Factory Reset". So - back to the Quick GUI setup - it gave me an error when I tried not to have any upstream...

    Aruba MAS series SFP+ & POE+ switches sub-$100

    I'm having big trouble getting this to work, maybe someone can point me in the right direction... I bought a S2500-24P on eBay for $90, and it even came with the rack ears already installed. I have done the following: Upgraded both partitions to ArubaOS 7.4.1.10 Factory reset Initial...
