    Dell C6100 XS23-TY3 2U 4-Node (8 CPU) Cloud Server

    Wow your server will get baked before noon with that enclosure. I'm actually surprised to see people buy these servers to be used at home. I really think you should buy portable quarter rack and hookup your servers to it as for the noise, you may switch the fans or simply find a place to host...

    Dell C6100 XS23-TY3 2U 4-Node (8 CPU) Cloud Server

    I can't thank you enough for your detailed information. I actually just came back from the datacenter and while I was there I monitored power usage for both nodes (one with PCI18 and one with PCI16) and I found they are consuming about the same amount of power (each node takes 1 AMP)...

    Dell C6100 XS23-TY3 Firmware Updated

    Thanks guys. I actually tried root/root but that did not work, I also did reset the password via ipmi tool but still won't let me in, then I had to revert back (using IPMI tool copied the image from another node & restored it) then I was okay. But today I was able to upgrade my nodes from 1.04...
