    Dell R230 fan amount

    I have two Dell R230's. One I bought myself through a previous job I worked at, and it running great. The other has a faulty PSU, got it through the same previous job. The fine one has a HBA330 controller in the full height slot, hot plug backplane and 4 fans. The faulty one has a PERC 730 in...

    Some information about HP T620 Plus Flexible Thin Client machines for network appliance builds...

    Wait, so it's a T620 Plus chassis, meaning extra wide, but doesn't have the riser card? That is very odd. Can't imagine a T620 Plus being sold without one. Would be pretty useless to have a expansion slot you can't use.

    Return it and get your money back? It's basically false advertisement if he advertises a Plus model when it's not.

    Just a quick insight: downloading (Steam game update) at around 75 to 80MByte/s utilizes the CPU at around 30%.

    OpenVPN and DHCP should be no issue. And keep in mind my download (and upload) are 5 times yours ;-) Have fun.

    I didn't say you can't? I don't do GNU/Linux if I can help it, but I have run OPNsense on ESX, Hyper-V and bhyve (FreeBSD) all just fine, with other VM's or jails on that host too. On my main server I have several jails including a dual jail setup with NSD, void-zone-toold and Unbound to no...

    If you keep the machine as a hypervisor, don't dump other stuff on it, it should be fine. I run OPNsense bare metal on it for my 1Gbps fiber connection. No IDS/IPS and such, but I see about 50% CPU at max download.

    Dell BOSS-S1 and non-Dell SSD/NVME drives

    Whoops, wrong model. Part Number 72WKY does support NVME. Some can't find a specs page on it though. And yes, BOSS-S1 and -S2 only support SATA drivers.

    Dell BOSS-S1 and non-Dell SSD/NVME drives

    I was able to get an old R730xd from work and have the idea to add one or more BOSS-S1 card in. But I can't find whether they will accept non-DELL branded SSD/NVME drives. Anyone happen to know if that will work?

    [FS][US] Asus X99 Pro, X9-DRi-f, SC2600CW2R, E52690 V4, 15K 2.5" HDD

    Is that ECC Unbuffered or Registered? Price wise it sounds Registered to me.

    Are lead gel batteries alright?

    Are you sure? Because that's not what I get from the batteries themselves.

    Are lead gel batteries alright?

    I have a APC Smart UPS 1500 here at home of which the batteries need replacement before I can finally use it after sitting in the room for 2 years now. But upon looking up the correct Voltage and capacity, I noticed there is also a lead gel type these days. The batteries I have now are lead...

    Supermicro X9/X10/X11 Fan Speed Control

    I set mine so that the fans are quiet enough in the side room the server is in . 3U with 80mm Noctua fans. Did you set max fan speed in the BMC as well? IIRC that is a requirement as well in this case. My other server is a Dell R230 and different actions are needed there, so it can change per...

    Supermicro X9/X10/X11 Fan Speed Control

    Not having a X10 but a X11, I set the fan speed to max, then to n% per zone. I do not use GNU/Linux, but on my FreeBSD server it looks like this and you should be able to use that too: (below is part of my sh script I use at start up) command="/usr/local/bin/ipmitool" echo -n "IPMI set fan...

    EU [SOLD][FS] Dell R510 with 24 TB of storage

    Depending on what you run perhaps, but with something like ipmitool you should be able to reduce fanspeed a lot. I do that at home with a Dell R230. Makes is acceptable in a side room.
