I have a spare Dell C6100 that's non-functional but too expensive to get working again, so I'm parting it out. I'm trying to set the prices very low compared to eBay, but if you really believe that I am overcharging, please make an offer. Anything that does not sell by Friday 8 March goes to eBay. My goal is to help other C6100 fans on the list and to get enough cash to buy IB mezzanine cards without feeling like I'm spending "real" money on these C6100 toys.
<SOLD> 2x 1100 Watt power supplies. $30 each. I keep two spares myself.
<SOLD> 2x CPU boards - $40 each. Includes the CPU board, interposer board, the metal sled, and power cables - basically everything that slides in and out of the chassis except that there are no SAS/SATA cables or heatsinks - and of course no CPU or RAM. I'm keeping one as a my own spare. The fourth one is dead.
<SOLD> 2x Fans - $8 each if you want a spare. I'm keeping two as spares.
<SOLD> 2x "four up" Backplane to interposer cables - $8 each. These have four SAS/SATA ports on one end and one SFF-8087 on the other. These are replacements if you own a 24-bay C6100 or can be used in a 12-bay C6100 to allocate more disk slots to one or more of your nodes***.
<SOLD> 2x "two up" backplane to interposer cables - $8 each. These have two SAS/SATA ports on one end one one SFF-8087 connector on the other.
<GONE> 6x 2.5" drive blanks. Free if you buy something else and need them.
Need any other parts? Just ask. If you want a whole group of parts, you can save on shipping of course. As for shipping, I have boxes already, so you pay only for the shipping part with no markup. Prefer to trade? Wish list includes: IB Mezz card for the C6100, QSFP cable, or LSI external port HBA, or a 2.5" 1TB drive, or Samsung SSD.
*** The 12-bay C6100 uses one "three up" cable per node to allocate three disk bays to that node - call this 3+3 for three disks to one node and three disks to its neighbor. You can switch this out with a "four up" cable to allocate four disk bays to a node. You then use a "two up" cable on the adjacent node to allocate two disk bays to it - basically you convert from 3+3 to 4+2. You can also convert to 6+0 by using one each of the above cables.
