I was going to use a Dell 1425 for Asterisk build but I see on Digium's website that hardware may be problematic. Can anyone shed a litle more light on the problem. I see the Intel ethernet cards seem to cause problems. If I need to disable the onboard Intel on the Dell hardware I can I just need to know what to expect. How about the 850, any word there ? TIA Alan
Hi Alan, simply do not use Dell hardware. we had your problem, we called Dell and they told us that our servers was not configurable (they were too cheap). So now I do not use Dell anymore and we have less problem.

I'm using a Dell SC1430 that includes the Intel NIC and don't have any problems at all. Also using a TE210P and TDM400P w/ 4 FXS in the box. I've never had to reboot the box or restart Asterisk (except for kernel upgrades and * upgrades of course). -Brodie On Monday 11 September 2006 05:12 pm, Alan Bunch wrote:> I was going to use a Dell 1425 for Asterisk build but I see on Digium's > website that hardware may be problematic.

Actually on 2 850s, one is a hot-swap spare. No problems. The problems that were reported earlier on were with specific Digium boards on specific Dell machines. I have a T-1 for my connectivity which comes in through a Cisco router and have no problems. Look here for more info: http://www.digium.com/en/docs/misc/compatibility_notes.php W
This information seems to indicate there is a problem with the 1850 and the onboard nic. http://connection-telecom.com/support.html -----Original Message----- From: Ed Greenberg [mailto:edg@greenberg.org] Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2006 1:45 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] Dell hardware ...
