    Frustration with my server

    I bought a Tyan Transport SX TS65A-B8306 and it has been running Windows Server swimmingly for months. Today I pulled the riser out to try to install an old video card I had. I had an older video card that I had installed in the server weeks ago and was attempting to replaced it with a...

    Tyan Transport SX TS65-B8036 (B8036T65AV4E24HR) not booting

    In case anybody else runs into something similar: "CMOS Reset" via unplugging and holding the Reset for 30 seconds didn't help any. Pulling the CMOS battery and then putting it back in did. One clue that it made a difference was that immediately upon power cord attachment the server started...

    Hyper-V and file server upgrade time

    Thanks for the input. Even for a reduced drive count (6?) I'm still looking for good options for suppliers that provide a viable 7003 option with PCIe4 drives. That doesn't fit intent. Larger number of drive means more for striping, mirroring, etc. redundancy and different pools, etc. As an...

    Hyper-V and file server upgrade time

    Greetings For a some years now I've been running a Hyper-V server at home for hobby and learning. It also serves as a file server. I use Storage Spaces so all the resiliency (mirroring, sometimes parity) is done in software not hardware. I plan to stick with Windows Server as that's what I...
