    Can't see that as a problem. I'm using 18 GB drives on a R720 without problems. H710 HBA in IT mode

    Home network opnsense physical, virtual or clustered

    Just in case the cluster goes down or you take it down for some reason. The problem with having the router virtualized is that the internet connection is depeneding on a lot of things to work rather than a single box. Imagine you're away with friends for a weekend, something fails and your wife...

    Home network opnsense physical, virtual or clustered

    If you share the internet connection with someone else, e.g family etc, it's risky to have the router virtualized in a cluster. I have pfsense running bare metal on a fanless mini PC out of that reason.

    Replace media converter with PCIe card

    I believe it is a standard tranceiver. I took it out of the modem I got from the ISP, put it into a mediaconverter and plugged the ethernet cable into the router.

    Replace media converter with PCIe card

    So far, that didn't work. I have a HP 1820 switch that doesn't seem to like the SFP module that came with the modem, the connect LED is just blinking slowly. I've ordered a HPE compatible tranceiver from fs.com.

    Replace media converter with PCIe card

    I'm currently using a media converter with the SPF module that came with my router from the ISP, to ethernet that's plugged into a Pfsense router. I'd like to replace this with a PCIe card. Most seems to be 10G capable, which I don't need and the power consumption would probably be higher. What...

    Any X10SLL-F users out there with a multimeter?

    From the size of it, I'm guessing 1 uF. Any suitable large cap should be ok here

    A rainy day project - Warning PIC Heavy!!

    Internet and elephants, never forgets :-) A fair point about the copyright of the image. Another interesting find with this server is that you can hook up a USB to UART cable to the iDrac UART pins and get access to the Linux terminal (BusyBox). Here you can use racadm to pull the firmimg.d6...
