    Voltaire/Mellanox 4036 firmware update

    FYI, update just in case for those who are interested. I finally got around to working on this problem. Interestingly someone referenced this thread on the mellanox forum. Mellanox Voltaire 4036 VLT-3011s way to reflash... | Mellanox Interconnect Community I didn't realize there was a way to...

    Voltaire/Mellanox 4036 Unable to CLI

    I suggest using minicom if you have a mac or linux. Putty never did it for me. Just make sure you change the connection to 38400 rather then the default. I was able to see with a regular null cable. With an issue like that it probably be good if you can see everything from the boot process.

    Power supplies for c6220 and c6100

    Hanss, I'm not that DYI enough to attempt something like that. Spiffster, I have been testing with the c6100 powersupplies and it seems to work fine. I think it should be good enough. Now whether to sell the old PS or not. I haven't really fully tested it though as I don't have enough...

    Infiniband: voltaire 9024m console cable?

    I manage to get this working with a typical serial cable with a serial to usb converter. One thing that caught me is off guard is that you cannot use the typical setting like with cisco. By this I mean the settings within minicom (which I use). I can't remember at the top of my head what the...

    Power supplies for c6220 and c6100

    Mine is a paper weight as well. Sad as I bought 4 CPUs for it. Anyway, I don't think that PS will work. But I believe I found the right one. (PS-2112-5D DELL POWER SUPPLY 1200W 80 PLUS PLATINUM HOT PLUG FOR DELL) but it is a bit spendy as you can see. I have the c6100's PS arriving tomorrow...

    Power supplies for c6220 and c6100

    Does anyone know if I can use the c6100 power supply which 1100watt with c6220? I can't seem to confirm the right power supply for a c6220. The one I purchased came with 1400watt but it required 200-240v. I looked at the manual and found that the 1200watt required 120v so I would be able to...

    WTB: c6220 1200watt PS

    Hi, I just found out unfortunately that the 1400 watt PS that comes with the c6220 only does 200-240v. The 1200watt does 110-240. Does anyone have any to sell for a reasonable price? I am willing to trade in the dual 1400watt that I got now. Thanks

    3.5 to 2.5 adapter for c2100, c6220, c6100 trays?

    Thanks but I've already bought a set of 30 of these from ebay so I should be good for a long time.

    3.5 to 2.5 adapter for c2100, c6220, c6100 trays?

    Thanks dba. I've decided to go with WD Icepack and won an ebay auction where someone was selling a set of 30 icepacks. This should be good enough SSDs for my project. Aluminum, thanks for the post. Unfortunately I think all the server trays I use are screwed in from the sides. But its...

    3.5 to 2.5 adapter for c2100, c6220, c6100 trays?

    hi dba. I was hoping to avoid the icydocks and icepack. Do they work well for you? I've had badluck with icydocks before and I think these types of enclosure is somewhat redundant since they add an extra electronic layer. Of course they're a bit spendy as well. I am hoping to find the type...

    3.5 to 2.5 adapter for c2100, c6220, c6100 trays?

    Hi, I was just wondering if anyone know if there's an adapter for those. Like an official adapter. I know there's one called 9W8C4 but it seems to be for older models of the tray. I was wondering if there isn't, has anyone tried one of those cheap adapters on the internet. I don't want to...

    Voltaire/Mellanox 4036 firmware update

    Thanks Adrian, I was going to mention that I did open the switch earlier in the day to check myself. I was hoping it was a CF because that probably would have made my life much easier. I have also looked at the manual, previously as well. All the commands I find in there are commands...

    Voltaire/Mellanox 4036 firmware update

    Hi Mark, I have been unable to login to the switch since the upgrade. I understand when you say I can upgrade from within the console but since I am unable to login period, I can't really do anything. This is why I've been trying to do this from outside the console during the secondary boot...
