Hello! I have just gotten my hands on a Dell H330, and I have two questions. Firstly, can I flash to IT mode with a different computer than the original one? I found a few guides on flashing it, but all of them seem to use the server it was in. Secondly, what cables can I use with it? In the...

I was about to get a 9361-16i from eBay for my new Minisforum MS-01 when I noticed that I can get a "Dell MegaRAID 9460-16i" (aka 42PDX) at a better price. And as a newer generation, I guess it should be a better card, right? But can it be flashed to a proper LSI 9460-16i? If so, how? And I do...

I've been dealing with this for the last few days: I've been trying to setup a TP-Link AP with two SSIDs on two different VLANs, to connect to my OPNSense box via a Dell X1026 switch. Seems straight forward, right? Yeah, but I guess I'm missing something because I can't even get a DHCP lease...

We have a range of Dell servers (R710, R720, R520, R320, R820s) - I noted in IDRAC that some of the PSU's shows present | failure, however, the PSU seems to work without an issue. We unplugged the other cable and the "failed" PSU still works. Rebooting the server does not take the error away...

I bought an Epyc 7713 off of eBay, the processor, it was listed as a Dell part (didn't see until after bought). The CPU has been used before (small scratches). Installed it into a new ROMED8-2T and I was able to install Ubuntu onto it. Does this mean the CPU isn't locked, or are there other...

I've scored two Dell PowerEdge T420 servers at a steal on Facebook Marketplace. I'm gearing up to install Unraid on one of them, and could use any insights available. Will Unraid play nice with iDRAC? Also, I've seen theres talk about flashing the RAID controller - any firsthand experiences or...

Dell OptiPlex 7010 Micro PCs (just "Micro", not "Micro plus", see Dell OptiPlex Micro 7010 System Guide | Dell Canada) do not have any USB-C port. Does anybody know if USB-C ports can be added using the empty extension ports on the rear?
