[Asterisk-Users] TE405P and Dell Poweredge 6450 Incompatible?
Hey gang, Just pulled out our brand new $1,500 TE405P and put it into a Dell Poweredge 6450. Nothing. Card not recognized nor listed under "lspci". Tried the card in every slot it would fit in. Even took out existing, working cards and put the 405 in those slots and still nothing. Tried the card in a Poweredge 2450. Bingo, although it is listed as "Unknown device". Called Digium. Their answer "Since the card works in the 2450, you will have to use it in the 2450. The card is good." My response was "the 2450 is a single P3 500 and no where near powerful enough to handle 92 simultaneous PRI->g729 calls." Has anyone else out there had success/failures with a TE4XX card in Dell Poweredges? I've been on hold at digium for a while now and I get the feeling that Digium is gonna say "too bad sucka..the card works..*click*" but if enough people have a problem with this card in Dell Poweredges, then perhaps they will take a closer look and figure out the problem. -Matthew ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

we had problems with a TE410 i think, with a dell poweredge server. the single span cards worked, but when we put in an e1/t1 card, 1 or 4 span, they failed to work. spent over a month with digium, mostly waiting for them to respond, and they said there is an incompatability with dell poweredge series. mostly due to the fact that most dell stuff uses cheap gear (chipset was the problem they said) so now we use 4 single span cards rather than the 4 span, since they dont make t1 only 4 span cards anymore. -----Original Message----- From: mboehm@cytelcom.com [mailto:mboehm@cytelcom.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 2:45 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] TE405P and Dell Poweredge 6450 Incompatible?

I have 2 power edge 400sc each with a te405p running fc3, it recognizes the cards but one of the ports on one of the cards seems to be bad. This is keeping me from going further and getting * installed. I will let you know how the cards work when I get this port issue fixed. - Ben On Apr 5, 2005 2:44 PM, mboehm@cytelcom.com <mboehm@cytelcom.com> wrote:> > Hey gang, > Just pulled out our brand new $1,500 TE405P and put it into a Dell > Poweredge > 6450.

Hi Matthew- I think there are TE410P compatibility issues with other motherboards as well. Google the archives (site:digium.com) under "HP Proliant G4" for example, as I remember some problems there. This response from Digium tech support, if quoted accurately, is not acceptable to customers for obvious reasons. If there is a known compatibility issue with some chipsets, I think it would be good idea for Digium to publish them. Otherwise IMHO, they should offer to accept your return of the TE410P so you can pursue an alternative. Perhaps a call to the marketing people at Digium would be in order? It's just bad PR for the company when these things happen. Please keep us up to date on what happens. regards Scott Stingel www.evtmedia.com mboehm@cytelcom.com wrote:>Hey gang, > Just pulled out our brand new $1,500 TE405P and put it into a Dell Poweredge >6450.

It makes me suspect that Digium's design is a little marginal, so minor variations in motherboard design throw it off. FWIW, I have a PowerEdge 800 with two TDM cards in it. They work. Can't vouch for whether a TE405P would work in it, though.
