    Need help: HP DL180 G9 compatible CPUs

    Update: My guess was correct. Motherboard with SKU 779094-001 supports up to 105W CPU (2660v4) after upgrading to latest ME firmware. One must download the cp029724.exe or CP028985.scexe from the HPE link in #6, and boot off pre-2.5x System ROM. (It's possible to switch to an old ROM from...

    Need help: HP DL180 G9 compatible CPUs

    OK, after chewing more results here's my guess. The v3 only motherboard supports 105W v4 CPUs after a ME firmware upgrade. The v3/v4 motherboard supports any v4 CPUs with no power limit. Upgrading ME firmware requires a pre-2.5x BIOS, and once the ME is upgraded the motherboard should boot with...

    Need help: HP DL180 G9 compatible CPUs

    I did update the BIOS to a fairly new version (somewhere in 2021). Some say that there are 2 motherboard SKUs and one of them is V3 only, and the other is V3/V4. I don't know if that's true. Maybe I should try a 105W CPU like 2660v4? (One of the ebay sellers did tell me 2660v4 might work in my...

    Need help: HP DL180 G9 compatible CPUs

    Got a DL180 G9 a while ago. It came with dual E5 2630v3 pre-installed. I'm trying to upgrade the CPU. I've checked the specs on HP websites, showing it supporting up to E5-2680v4 and E5-2695v4, so I bought a E5-2680v4. Server didn't boot. Found someone saying some models of the motherboard...

    Why Use QSFP-40G-UNIV Transceiver for 40G Network? | FS Community This should explain a lot. Previously you'd need to run a MPO 4 pairs cable but you can use a UNIV with a regular 1 pair fiber.

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Got mine on ebay at $100 (best offer) + free shipping. You can search and send your offers. 24p would be more expensive but 48p should be cheap.

    I've seen a 6610 with front 10G cages being tortured and squeezed badly, with the seller describing as "slightly damaged".

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Hey, I just got some of these but they seem to have 4 leads (red, yellow, black, blue). Any suggestion on how to wire them to ICX6450-48P? Thanks!

    HAProxy or something like that (I use nginx). Do you announce static IP range through your ISP? Because if you only have 1 IP and serve multiple websites I imagine you'd use some kind of front end proxy to route traffic?

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    I wouldn't do this as this sounds a bit overkill, but you definitely can. I would rather put all websites (assuming VMs) behind a front end gateway, and do ACL/proxy on the gateway.

    Just bought a 6450-48p on ebay with a $100 offer. They seem to have more than 100 units available. I'm not linking to it to reduce STH effect but it should be very easy to find. In case anyone is looking to buy one.

    What's your pick of switch at low voltage cabinet in the furnace room?

    Got a new construction house that's designed by previous buyer who later abandoned the house. They hard wired CAT6 to all rooms, and collect them to the furnace room on upper floor. The furnace room is about 5ft x 6ft, and of course has a giant furnace in it. On the side wall there's the low...

    So, the same CPU with a different motherboard is 51w? Do you have other devices on this motherboard?

    Wow she's a big boy :cool: In this case did you plug any drive to the server? Drives use tons of power. You may also want to unplug the backplane and see if it makes a difference.

    Remove CPU2

    A few guesses here. CPU governor was not properly set. PSU is at low efficiency (a 460w PSU is more efficient than 1280w at 100w load) (not sure if you have dual redundant PSU, if so it's worse). Your RAM drinks a lot. Your IPMI is not accurate on wattage. Needs further investigations.

    Remove CPU2

    You are saying, the MB+RAM+RAID card+CPU draws 130w? That's way off the chart I think. A X10 platform with 2 CPUs + piles of RAM should use less than 100w (I don't have one myself, but my X9 platform with 2 CPUs uses less than 100w). Did you measure after booting into the OS?
