I have a Dell R710 home server with a Dell PERC H830 SAS RAID adapter in it. I'm looking to add an MD1200 to my collection and trying to figure out whether it will work. I'm not concerned if it's supported. I only want to know if it will work at all. First off, Dell says the H830 won't work...

Hi everyone I am considering possibly replacing the Tyan S7012 motherboard in my 2U home fileserver/NAS to get more PCI-E slots. My current mobo has 4 x PCI-E 2.0 x8 + 1 x PCI-E 1.1 x4, but the x4 slot has turned out to be of even more questionable usage than 1.1 x4 would already suggest, as...

Reading on STH and searching on eBay I keep coming across deals for Dell (and to a lesser extent HP) branded Intel DC S3500 SSDs. I understand the special firmware on these disks don't present all the SMART attributes the stock Intel disks do, but what do they present? I'm interested in...

Hi, I have a few questions regarding getting an ups. Back story I'm looking to get my first "proper" homelab, and was looking for a smallish server rack. And I think I found one – the only thing is that the seller is also selling a 4 year old Dell J727N 2700 W UPS. I have no experience with a...

Greets to all. Managed to inherit a Dell PERC H830 SAS RAID controller, now trying to get it working in my home-based Dell PowerEdge R710 server. Dell's specs say the H380 has an LSI SAS 3108 chip in it. LSI/Avago/Broadcom says that chip -- and all the SAS RAID cards it makes based on that...

Anyone had any luck installing gpus on c6100s ? I'd prefer NVIDIA gpus but I'm open to options. I'm trying to build out a cheap tensorflow environment. Thanks

Hey Just found this forum by accident and gotta say I love what I'm seeing! So I though I'd join in and ask for advice as well. I'm a small 1 man CGI company that is growing hungry for more render power. I turn on my servers 1-2 times a week when I need to render production work currently...

Had the weirdest phone call with Dell. I've been a Dell customer a long time and love the bang for your buck their lower end PowerConnect switches give. I was looking to upgrade our 28XX switches to the new PowerConnect X10XX range and thought I'd give them a call to see if I could get a...

Hi! Not sure if this is the correct forum, but I am considering getting a used Dell Precision T5600. It has 2x E5-2670 and 32GB ram. It has no hdd or ssd, as I want to get that myself anyway. I have been quoted $565 as the best they can do. Does that sound like a decent price? -J

I love C6100 but it was configured for two nodes only, which I knew before buying it. What I didn't know is how eager I will be to add two more nodes. I looked at list of parts that will be needed for two more nodes and it wasn't pretty. Then today it kinda hit me, can't I just buy another...

I have 3 Dell R715s and have been going through hell getting them updated the last couple days. Turns out the Lifecycle Controller was too old to go through auto updates, so I had to find an old CentOS OM disk to get them updated to the point it will work through Lifecycle Controller. Everything...
