I bought replacement 4 wire fan for my Intel server but seems like connector is different. I thought "I got it" with RPM/size. Can I still use this fan? See MB picture with connectors and fan connectors. Blue is OLD. White is new. You see keys are in different places

I am trying to revive old-er server. I got enough memory and CPU for our needs. Looks like I am going to be able to get storage speed I need as well.. So, the only shortcoming so far is obsolete IPMI. I mean it works, as far as power control and monitoring. But jviewer.jnlp doesn't work...

Basically I need some suggestions on what to look for as I have no idea at this point.. HARDWARE SCE846 case with SAS2 backplane Supermicro X10SL7-F Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1285 v4 @ 3.50GHz 32Gb CT2KIT102472BD160B 16Gb SM SATA DOM - boot drive - installed on MB 2x 4TB WD RED mirror - main...

I'd like to get opinions/suggestions on building minimal colocation hardware set. Minimal is in terms of rack space, our colo center charges $50/U, I'm not ready for 1/2 rack. But can do 2-3 Us. Also, datacenter is 24/7 15 minutes from home, so I'm not sure if spare server need to be in a rack...

Bought kit to convert chassis from pedestal to rack. Those 2 handles came in a kit. I see how to bolt them on, but I don't understand what those knobs with bolts for? There is no holes in plastic bezel on my chassis.

I built 2 servers. One is in use now. Idea was to keep second as a spare or on stand-by but I just don't see why would I need it in my current scenario. Hence - it's for sale. Here is my build thread: Intel S2600CP/P4000, 2 servers Basically, I got all parts, built it. Updated BIOS/firmware on...

Folks, what is your suggestion on OS/virtualization/backup setup? Main goals: 1. Ease of backup and restore. Fastest recovery time. 2. Maximum performance I develop in Windows/VisualStudio. OS of choice can be W7/8/10. Main problem is that it takes about 2-3 days to get system setup with all of...

I have LSI 9260-8i card I though about using for FreeNAS by flashing to IT mode. I guess not. This card does not support it. After googling - seems like current "deal" is M1015 cards. But there is fakes, etc. Is that a card I should be looking for? I need one with high profile bracket that...

I guess it's not main question :) I know it will and I have articles from Patrick on this.. But I wanted to see if this will work GOOD given my scenario. This is for small office (couple users) network share, backups. I already have experience with FreeNAS at home, but I built hardware from...

Trying to quiet down my P4000M intel chassis. I did everything prescribed with BIOS and it is reasonably quiet. It's got 2 fans, one for expansions area/ram and another for CPU. And those fans are different according to labels. By manually stopping them both I figured that source of this very...

I'm re-doing my work environment. Will be using my old-ish desktop I built for development. This is what it's going to be: ASUS P8Z77-V motherboard i7-2700K - will overclock to ~4.5 ATI FirePro V5800 graphics ??? storage I will be running Windows Server 2012 R2 as host system, already...

I need to run Windows in VM locally with full support to GPU, USB, etc - should be minimal overhead. At the same time I'd like to be able to backup live or near-live. What can you suggest for Hypervisor and Host OS? I like how I can keep system backed up using Hyper-V replica. But I can't do...

Got it to test for Hyper-V RemoteFX Because of licensing and not playing nice with motherboard - selling it. Card is working just fine. $40 + ship

Ok, I'm currently working in VM(Windows 8) on my MacBook Pro 13. I use VMWare Fusion. My guest OS Win8. I do .NET development, Visual Studio 2012 and XAML.. VM works OK, but we all want more, right? Since I built new server (dual E5-2670, 128Gb RAM - from Deals section) - I was toying with an...

I'm trying to setup Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V so my virtual machines can take advantage of onboard GPU (Remote FX) I have server. Activated, etc. All is well. Hyper-V works. There is many manuals online, they all little differ but here is where I'm getting into trouble: 1. In Hyper-V...

Seems I just wasted some money :( I want to have Hyper-V with RemoteFX and got card from the bottom of their "approved" list: ATI FirePro V5800 Professional Graphics 1 GB GDDR5 SDRAM Used/Tested And it doesn't fit :( This metal thingy on a back I can remove I guess, but even if I do - card will...

Not sure what I need. According to accessory list - there is 2 different types of rails for this case and I need to mount 2 servers in rack, trying to figure best/budget solution.. 1. Value rail kit - AXXELVRAIL - ~$60 2. Advanced rail kit - AXX3U5UPRAIL - ~$100 3. Adjustable rack shelves like...

Looking for a video card from a list: GPU Requirements for RemoteFX on Windows Server 2012 R2 | Thomas Maurer Probably from "Better/Good" category as I don't want to spend more than couple hundred $ There will be 1-2 people on a server using it, so not much needed. Let me know what you got!

Just curious how many using this and what is a feedback? In my mind Hyper-V and any virtual servers always were "dumb" in a way that no GPU needed or used. I'm software developer and my main tool is Visual Studio. WPF does use lot's of GPU and currently I develop in VM on my MacBook Pro. But...
