Hello, Digium uses the Dell PE 2850 for their testing. This site says that 3.3V PCI slot. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+hardware We are planning on purchasing a Dell PE 2850 and putting a TE205P card on it. However, the needs a 5V PCI slot. Does Dell PE 2850 has a 5V PCI slot? A person in our group tried to call Dell's customer support but they do not seem to know. We will also be using RHEL ES 4 as the OS. Anybody have experience (good/bad) for this type of configuration? We are going to use it primarily as a conferencing server serving 30-50 simultaneous users. Can anybody recommend an alternative server that works well with TE205P and RHEL ES 4? This is our first time using Asterisk so we would like to have it pain free as much as possible. Thank you very much. richard -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Don't know about the Dell. I personaly use Cent OS (www.centos.org) which is RHEL ES without paying for it. I have it on my server and it seems to be holding up just fine. --- Richard OSS <oss_richard@rogers.com> wrote:> Hello, > > Digium uses the Dell PE 2850 for their testing. > This site says that 3.3V PCI slot. > > http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+hardware > > We are planning on purchasing a Dell PE 2850 and > putting a TE205P card on it.

I use a PE2850 with CentOS 4.2 on it (as parent says, it is essentially RHEL 4 without the support contract.) Extremely stable; no problems with asterisk at all. Dell makes 2 PCI riser cards for this server, I believe one of them has 5v slots. I have a 3.3v card so I can't tell you on that. -Ryan -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Dovid Bender Sent: Monday, February 20, 2006 3:52 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dell PowerEdge 2850 Don't know about the Dell.

Dell website Useguide has the info and its: Expansion Bus Bus type PCI-X, PCI Express Expansion slots via riser card cage: PCI-X one 3.3-V, 64-bit, 100-MHz or three 3.3-V, 64 bit, 133MHz PCI Express one x4 lane width one x8 lane width I would have thought the dell website would have been the first place to look.Took less than 2 mins to get the relevant info I cannot believe tech support couldn't give you that information. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Klaus Darilion Sent: 20 February 2006 23:23 To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dell PowerEdge 2850 Ryan Amos wrote:> I use a PE2850 with CentOS 4.2 on it (as parent says, it is essentially > RHEL 4 without the support contract.)

I think 64 bit is always 3.3 Volt - isn't it? regards klaus> -Ryan > > > -----Original Message----- > From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com > [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Dovid > Bender > Sent: Monday, February 20, 2006 3:52 PM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dell PowerEdge 2850 > > Don't know about the Dell.
