Nice. I'm always a bit jealous of the 10 gig switch finds.

Ebay special?

I think I did get it to work, but it was just random, and I don't really remember what the fix was. I did everything I could think of and eventually something just worked. Using a super simple user account, a super simple password (think something like abc123), hostnames, IP addresses...

So why does this look like a house on the outside, is it for security through obscurity?

I do have a SPERC8-e card I can throw into a spare rig and dump firmware from, provided there's commands to do that stuff in megacli and what not. Haven't done any flashing in a while so I'm not immediately aware of the capabilities.

There are countless guides out there for cross flashing traditional Dell PERC cards to the more vanilla firmwares for many of the older and newer SAS2 and 3 chipsets. However, I'm looking to try and cross flash the firmware of a specialized adapter, specifically the Dell Shared PERC 8-External...

There's an increase in the default PWM fan cycle when you install this enablement kit, isn't there? I've been told that the minimum fan % goes up to about 38%. Have you observed this?

Do you know which iDRAC/LC version they're on?

I have an opportunity to get a few of these but did a little bit of research and learned a later iDRAC release(s) made it so that unvalidated SSDs can cause an increase in fan speeds. I'm aware there are IPMI commands to alter it, but I don't want to mess with that. It just ends up being another...

None on ebay for a reasonable (for home use) price, was hoping someone on here might have a couple they're looking to part with. Barebones preferred but willing to take config'd machines for a reasonable price. 1.8" or 2.5" version okay. US50

Yeah that's fine - however the main problem as usual with these is I don't have any boxes for it. I can take it to a FedEx and have them box and pack it if that works though as part of the cost.

bump, price drop on the r630

What is the sound profile on these compared to say a VRTX?

Timestamps: hlsales For sale: Dell R630 10-bay server Bought this for myself with plans to get more for a cluster, never got around to that Selling 'as-is' because I have not personally tested it, never bought hardware for it, the internals all appear to be un-damaged however the front-right...

These were running silently for a while and then I unplugged all my stuff and did some re-arranging and now the fans on 2 of my units are running. I forgot if there's something I can do to get them to turn down or do I just have to wait forever basically? Fans cut off maybe when the battery...
