It is a different bios so you will need to reflash everything but it wasn’t too bad. There is a reddit that you can follow. Reddit - homelab - NEW: How to fully convert Google R720XDs to Dell R720XD

I bought one of these a couple weeks ago. Super good deal and everything brand new!

I ended up pulling out the switch from my rack and moving power supply 1 into to slot 2 and power supply 2 into slot 1. Ran great while out of the rack and nothing connected, but once I put it in the rack and plugged in both power supplies along with all of my network cables, every 5 minutes or...

I totally get that these things run hot, the weird thing to me is how the temp increases when I plug in the power supply 1 and only leave power supply 2 plugged in. I keep running show chassis and you can literally see it creeping up quickly until the fans kick on full blast and cool it down to...

I did a bit more troubleshooting and found that if I have both power supplies plugged in the temp goes up. If I unplug the "whiny" one the temp goes down. Could I have a bad power supply?

So I got my ICX 6610 switch and followed the directions and everything is up and running except for a couple issues. 1. The first 2 ports are not working at all. I plug in a network cable and the lights come on, but no connection to my router nor other devices. 2. I can't seem to get my...
