Hello, I'm considering buying 2x ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 Cards for use in my Dell R730. I see several posts about using it within a Dell R730xd, but not in a Dell R730 specifically. I have already checked my BIOS and slots 4 and 6 can take a x4x4x4x4 bifurcation. Before I make the purchase I...

Following up: those ICY DOCK PCI adaptors are still going strong.

FYI, I did not have to spoof the MAC. I retained the same IP. The new gateway is now in service, although I have some firewall rules to adjust. Thank you.

I have a pfSense unit as my gateway. It's connected to the ONT via an ethernet cable (great service option). I have built up another device (running FreeBSD/ZFS on a small 4x Atom processor in a 1U chassis). Despite having done load of configuration already, I want a contingency plan: swap the...

Came here searching for information about Eaton UPS firmware updates. This might be relevant to the topic: https://hardforum.com/threads/5px2200-ups-cooling-noise-management.1824738/#post-1045031655

Do you have a part number for the caddy please?

Lately, I've been using these PCI cards which do not require data or power cables: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08111FRVR CY DOCK 2.5” SATA SSD/HDD to PCIe 2.0 x1 Hot-Swap Mobile Rack for PCIe Expansion Slots | ToughArmor MB839SP-B

That no-bifurification ain't cheap.

In my case, software RAID is what I'll be using via a ZFS mirror.

Using Clover I think?

Thank you for confirming that.

I have a Dell R730 (not the XD) and my goal is to boot off internal drives, leaving the front 2.5" bays free for data. In the past, with an R720, I did this with PCIe hot swap cards. I realize now, that I should have opened up the chassis and checked for possible power and data connections...

Mounting electrical panels to plywood is standard practice. It's not novel or unusual at all. An example I stumbled across today.

Hence, the fire-resistant plywood. This meets code. The electrical panel itself is metal.

Hence, the fire-resistant plywood. This meets code.

Do you attach gear to a sheet of plywood in the basement? About 15 years ago, in another city, I had a small sheet of plywood attached to the wall of the basement. It held the DSL modem, the network switch, and other small component related to my home network. Fast forward: I've just bought a...

For the 710 mini, I did this for my R720: Dell R720 flashing Dell PERC H710 mini into IT mode – Dan Langille's Other Diary It follows the instructions from Introduction - Fohdeesha Docs

I am late to the game. I flashed the H710 mini in my R720 yesterday and I will be using 4x 1TB 860 EVOs in that server. They should be just fine. I am using Samsung SSD 850 3B6Q (that's the PRO) with a SAS2308 - works well.

I have another R720 which will undergo the same modifications. The one bit of information to put out there: The SATA power cable to the CDROM is split. The spare power connector it not clearly visible. It is under the shelf upon which the CD-ROM sits. From the photo below: power - the end...
