server

LGA 2011 systems from Dell/HP/Supermicro/etc. have been widely and cheaply available on ebay for a decade now, but it's time to upgrade. So what's everybody looking at on the used market for Epyc systems? I see some supermicro CPU/Mobo/RAM combos (some from china, some in the US) Dell has the...

Hi all - my first post here (I think). Where should I post a question about a server configuration suitable for a remote branch ESXi 7/8 hypervisor? I see a "DIY Server and Workstation Builds" forum under "hardware" - which doesn't seem a fit as we're looking primarily at Tier 1/2 servers...

Greetings all. I'm new to this forum, so I apologize if this isn't the right category to post in. I'm trying to build my first homelab server. I will use it for a gaming panel, lancache server for some steam games and as a storage for my personal files/photos/videos. And maybe more, i don't...

I'm new, so be gentle. I am running XAMPP on my laptop which I can make a hotspot. As of now, I design my pages on that machine (and access via LocalHost) and can access those pages from my mobile devices after connecting to the hotspot and discovering the laptop's IP. I want to use the pages...

I’ve got a HP EliteDesk 800 G4 with a i5-8500 running Proxmox VE 8.4 I keep having issues where the machine wont boot into the OS. Sometimes I’m getting a POST bleep error indidicating there’s a display failure / graphics card error / video card memory issue. The machine’s main purpose is a...

SOLD I'm selling an EPYC Siena based Enterprise Server/Workstation combo including CPU, RAM, Motherboard, SSD, and CPU Cooler. This was assembled and tested, but never put into production. I was going to swap out my EPYC Genoa server with a lower core count, but decided I don't really need the...

Found one of the current gen Lenovo Thinksystem towers barebones for very cheap. I can get rid of my old X3100 M5 now and gain a rack space! https://www.ebay.com/itm/116314014968

Hi I'm building a security system (saas web, offline first, mobile app etc.) and am looking for a small server to host it. This system consists of controlling the entry/exit of people/service to a private neighborhood. The system will work with nfc keys, QR codes, etc. and will be housed on a...

Having built a number of computers over the years, starting with soldering headers for a z80a, I looked forward to my first build with a real server MoBo. It's certainly been an adventure, hoping for a sanity check from the forum. One note: While I would rather go with multiple boxes for this...

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some input or fresh ideas on storage configurations for the AsRock X300. This compact little setup already has a 4650 APU, 16 GB DDR4 3200, and will serve as a remote TrueNAS server at my family’s house. Its compact size and low power draw were the main reasons for...

Hi all, this is probably a tricky one. I'm looking for a power distribution board/backplane that's compatible with the MS73-HB1 PMBus connector so I can make use of the server remote management tools. I see these motherboards were used in the S453-S70-AAV1 4U storage server, but I can't seem to...

Hey. I haven't heard a lot about this socket since they first came out with the weird PHI CPUs that were apparently a dud. Is there a reason they're so frequently passed over? They look super inexpensive on the used market now, basically starting at next to nothing, but the only real...

Hello, This is a weird question but how does one learn to user a server? Would like to learn to use a Server without needing to go to school for paid courses? I will have a server in a couple months but need to learn how to use it. It will be a Windows Server I know for sure. Thanks in advance...

I'm eyeing a gigabyte g292-z20 server to run 5 dual-slot gpus at the same time but being stuck to a zen2 cpu (the support page here G292-Z20 (rev. 100) | GPU Servers - GIGABYTE Global states that it only supports 7002/7001) is not ideal at all for what I plan to do with it, given that all their...

Is there a complete spreadsheet or other list somewhere of Milan, Milan X, and latest Bergamo CPUs with their similar "OEM" or "Not officially listed" counterparts? Also the thread posted about these "OEM" CPUs did not mention what's the internal differences in these CPU SKU? They ae not Eng...

This is my first post here - I couldn't decide if this should go in DIY and Makers, General Chat, or here. I went through Guides, but didn't see anything along these lines. I'm looking to replace my obsolete home server with a server + NAS combination. Looking for references where I can learn...

Hello - New to the forums here. My current homelab consists of various old computers but the main one I am concerned with today is my primary Unraid server. Budget is around $1700-2000 all in. HP z820 Workstation running UnRaid Dual socket Intel Xeon E5-2697-V2 (12c/24t each) - 14k passmark...

Hello everyone, I’m starting to exhaust available sources of information as none of us can seem to determine the issue with this HBA so far. Been on the Unraid forums, discord, Reddit, etc and so far no luck. Current system: -Dedicated server chassis with i9-12900k, 64GB DDR5 -2x SM JBOD’s...

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, but the smart storage battery is a part of the smart array RAID card if I am correct. I work for a recycling company that refurbishes and resells electronics including servers. We have a number of these servers with this error. We cannot sell defective...
