Potential Deal: 2 x Dual 2011 nodes @$199, Quanta Openrack

[snake eyes]

Hi guys, I would like increment the RPM fan, or disable stepping cpu fan, someone know how do that?

 

[smithse79]

If anyone is interested, I ordered some of the drive power connectors through Aliexpress. Unfortunately, they are are a bit short to run from the left node to the drive bays but otherwise they work fine. I have few extra if anyone needs one. Shoot me a PM.

Do you have links with more details on what chassis ppl used with boards from C6100?

could be interesting if you removed the boards and placed in another case(Like people did with the C6100 boards)

I'm trying to remove one mainboard from the chassis, but I don't understand how this should work.
Can anyone give me a hint?

Undo the latch near power and reset nub switches on board and slide it out towards you. It should just slide out on the side without fans where the pci-e/ethernet ports are

 

[yago]

thanks, got it.

Can you backup the bios and post the bin / Rom file?

This is a full binary dump from BIOS chip, dumped on CH341A USB programmer and packet in .tgz archive format. After unpack rename .dmp file to .rom or .bin and open it in AMIBCP as ordinary BIOS rom file.
Or maybe i didn't understand question?

Sorry, I never dealt with a bios dump before. Sounds like what I was asking for. I am running ForC_A07. I wonder what the differences are. Thanks for posting.

But be careful. Check onboard Gbe MAC address after programming new BIOS. And a new BIOS has many new features, unknown for me.

I am curious if anyone ever got a more modern graphics card working in these systems?

 

[Gene]

I tested it with a nvida gtx 950 and it worked but the pcie slot is version 2.0 so limited bandwidth compared to pcie 3.0 when you get into high performance cards

Hello, what will be the BIOS to crossflash to get successful installation of Windows 10, getting the ACPI error and installation crashes.
Bought 1 server 2 weeks ago from Esiso with version F03_3A13

 

[yago]

Hello,

I have noticed that the RAM is getting extreme hot (65-70 °C) if the fans are running at 2556rpm.
Is there a way to ramp up the fan speed manually through IPMI?

After contacting Wiwynn tech support, the rep stated that the OCP server only supports linux based system and that they do not provide windows drivers. Although I am aware that some successfully installed win 7 x64 Pro?

Is anyone aware of a seller with postage options to Australia? I'd love to get 3-4 pairs with tray and PSU.

Install Linux and boot windows with KVM. Simple.

@JKlayme, while I don't personally own any OCP 'Windmill' systems[1] I can tell you with some certainty that while Windows may not be officially supported by Wiwynn there's nothing about the machines that would get in the way of a Windows install. These fairly typical dual socket LGA2011 based around the Intel C600 chipset.

[1] The 'Windmill' designation includes both Wiwynn SV7210 and the Quanta F03 as well as variants from other OEMs and ODMs such as Penguin Computing.
