    Dell Optiplex 3000 Thin Client

    What design program do you refer to? Thin Client doesn't really perform well on the programs that need high computing power. Office software is okay. You should have a standalone PC to run design program like Adobe's softwares etc.

    Thanks for sharing! May I know what kind of "speed control bug" it is? ("...Better to avoid pwm fans due to some speed control bug"). I recently encountered a situation that I cannot change the speed of the original fans. Link here. Thanks!

    Thanks! The fans actually spin. I have checked. I typed this “fae mlxi2c set_fan /MGMT/FAN1 1 XX” but the problem is it doesn’t show error message but the fan speed stay the same.

    I see thanks! I think I can use ETH mode even I am at this 3.4 image. Not sure if it is because I have got the VPI licensing assistance from the seller and already registered it. Thanks again!

    Thanks for such a quick response! Appreciate! Oh I didn't know that I need to upgrade to 3.6 for the license to work. Another dumb question if you don't mind. What does the license do? Anything I am losing if the license doesn't work? Thanks again!

    It is great to see after so many years this post is still alive! I am a late joiner for SX6012. Just bought one from 2nd hand market. I will read this thread from the beginning but may I ask: 1) there seems to be two guides, one from mpogr and the other from dodgy route (a shorter version)...

    I know this is probably a dumb question: is there any difference between cables for 10G and 40G? I am using 10G network but never used 40G before. :-)

    Looking for: Asus Z10PE-D8 WS modded bios w bifurcation

    Hi RolloZ170. I just flashed this BIOS. As you said the menu of burification is hidden. Is this BIOS enabling the CPU2 PCIE Slot which is Slot 5, 6, and 7? You said both but which two slots are you referring to? Where can I find the option to switch to x4x4x4x4?
