    Small scale colocation experience in SF Bay Area

    That's cheaper than I expected! 42U is way overkill. But security wise maybe it's easier to manage for the vendor? I would imagine it's difficult to be able to lock the cabinet separately by racks. I will do some research on HE. Splitting the rack would also be a great idea. Thanks!

    Small scale colocation experience in SF Bay Area

    I am considering renting some 3U rack space to operate a server + 1G connection. So I am looking for a vendor that's priced fairly for small scale renting. Security will be very important. And the budget is under $300/month. Never had any colocation or server renting experience. Any...

    SuperMicro 826 chassis: how to replace pdu

    I bought a sc826 case from a recent deal. But it turns out the pdu is bad. Does anybody have experience replacing a pdu in a supermicro case? Do I need to take off the whole power supply cage on the right? I have looked for videos on youtube but couldn't find any. Also the cheapest...

    X10DRH-CT + 2xE5-2680 v3 not powering on

    OK I put it back into the 836 case and it's powering on. Since I switched PSU earlier, it most likely is the problem of the PDB on the 826.

    X10DRH-CT + 2xE5-2680 v3 not powering on

    Did a motherboard reseat and it still has the problem. I used to have cpu bent pin on another motherboard but it can still power on. Just no boot. For this one there is no click or fan spin at all. Which is weird.

    Moved from a 3u 836 case to a 2u 826 case. And the board no longer power on, either from power button or IPMI. IPMI is running ok. The BMC green led is flashing. Front panel is connected correctly since I can let the led to blink. I tried switching power supply and it didn't help. Clearing...

    How to administer Asus GT-AX11000 when in AP mode?

    In case you are not aware, letting your LAN exposed to outside is extremely unsafe, even for a short time. You would be surprised to know how much port scanning is going on in the wild over there.

    How to administer Asus GT-AX11000 when in AP mode?

    If you switched to AP mode with DHCP client on (normally it's automatically on when you switch to AP mode), then you can get the IP address from your DHCP server.
