Fellow server-builders out there, this is for you. :) I was trying to build a cheap JBOD type storage solution running CentOS. Ended up snagging a Supermicro SC826TQ-R800LPB 2U case (12 drives slots) and a Supermicro X7DBE-O motherboard. Unfortunately, without thinking I snagged a 3ware 9650SE-12ML SATA RAID card which is a full height card and thus does not fit in my case. I have a few

Hi, folks, I'm installing a RAID controller card for a large external RAID box in a Dell server. I've got two riser slots available. Here's the question: the controller card has some large chips on one side, and if I put it in riser 1, those chips face downwards in the box, blocking ease of cooling, while if I put it in riser 2, the chips will face up... but be right over a large

Hello I'd like to build myself an Asterisk server for SOHO use. Intel's D201GLY2 motherboard (http://tinyurl.com/ddarzp) looks like a very good deal, but I'm concerned about two things: 1. Will an A400P (from OpenVox, but supposed to be Digium-compatible http://tinyurl.com/ck6nfu) fit with a PCI riser, or will the CPU heatsink/fan be in the way? I downloaded the PDF from

I have a TDM400p with 3 fxs and 1 fxo daughter cards. It's in a mini-itx case with a 'right-angle' PCI riser card so the TDM400p is 'sandwiched' between the Atom D525 CPU and the 2.5" hard drive. I'm getting a bunch of clicks and pops on all ports. Has anybody had a similar experience? Did you find a solution? -- Thanks in advance,

Hi, folks, Since I've gotten a total of one response in days on the HP forum, maybe the collective mind here has an answer.... As I've mentioned in other posts, we have an HP dl580 g5 that started throwing ECC errors. But wait, it's worse: memory is mirrored.... And the thing is fully populated with 32 DIMMs. I took my best guess, pulled the matching set of DIMMs, and took two

Hi, I have a server (Dell PowerEdge SC1435, ServerWorks HT1000) on which I'd like to try installing FreeBSD. I've already failed to make 7.0 work on this box and was wondering if you have information about the behavior of the upcoming 7.1 on this hardware. I've been following the "HT1000 chipset errata saga" thread, and the commits by sos@ to CVS (around Jan 2008), but have

Just to drag this thread on a bit further ... I've been looking into these little boxes, thinking I could use one as a firewall/gateway. My one requirement is that it would need to have two PCI slots (one can be low-profile), and although I've seen PCI riser cards that can give me two slots, they've been rare, and cases that are suitable (i.e have the space, and back panels are

Hello For those SOHO customers (ie. at most, a couple of POTS/ISDN connections and simultaneous SIP calls) who'd rather not use a big, noisy PC to run Asterisk, I'd like to offer an alternative that has the following features: - not old hardware sold on eBay, ie. it must be up-to-date hardware sold by a company currently in business - compact, silent - has room for a 2.5" hard-disk,

Hi, I'm looking for IBM hardware to support: 100 SIP hard phone users 10 fax machines on SIP ata's maybe later an additional 100 sip soft phones. Initially, all calls will be through PRI. Some conferencing. Don't know yet if this will even get used. Using 1.4 + ( probably business edition ) I'm looking for anyone who some experience / gotchas. I've google'd and

So, in the ongoing saga of the unusual 1U short-depth workstation, we have narrowed the field to two choices. Both entrants are configured with 16GB memory (4x4GB), two 2.5" drives (1x250GB SSD and 1x1TB HDD), and an NVIDIA NVS510 graphic card (quad display): 1) SuperMicro 5017R-MF, Xeon E5-2609 processor 2) SuperMicro 5017C-LF, Xeon E3-1220 processor (I wish SuperMicro had a list of their

Another day, another apparant unexplained hardware incompatibility. I have a TE412P and a TDM400B living quite happily in a whitebox using an Intel motherboard: http://www.intel.com/design/servers/boards/se7230nh1-e/index.htm I tried to move to an IBM x3650 system. It uses a slightly newer chipset, but apparantly it's in the same family. The SE-7230 board has been EOL'd and the

Hello list, I have a customer who is interested in standardizing on dell servers for asterisk deployments. Has anyone had success with a particular configuration?

hi there. anyone have any tips on params to pass to the kernel etc in order to install Centos4 or Centos5 32bit or 64 bit installed on this unit i can get it close to install, yet no cigar. it is a tyan MB and ill try to get more info if needed... for this case, please assume for now that the hardware itself is not "bad" thanks in advance... - rh Rackable Systems Dual Opteron 2.0

Hey, folks, I've got an HP Proliant DL580 G5 throwing ECC errors. This is annoying, since a) it's all new as of a few months ago, and b) it's *fully* populated. The two things I need to figure out are a) *which* DIMM it is, and b) is it mirrored; if so, which *other* DIMM needs to come out until we get replacements from the OEM. Here's one of many, all identical, from dmesg:

Be sure to hit the 3Ware site to read about _incompatible_ risers! At 66+MHz PCI/PCI-X signaling, many cards/risers have issues. Many are only designed for 33MHz. -- Bryan J.

Take what I say with a grain of salt: I'm an amateur and haven't actually touched Speex in any way, yet. I'm just sort of passing on personal belief from personal experience. Also, check and make sure that the microphone line is insulated. There are a number of problems with sound cards picking up interference from the host machine. The wires that run between ICs on a card

Thanks for the speedy response and detailed, enlightening explanation. Now I understand where the problem is, and will try out your suggestions just to further confirm my conjecture. When I am done, I have to take the foil out, though. This is a product for our customers to use, and although we've got budget for mulffing every sound card we developers use, most likely the company

I've priced some 1 and 2U Dell servers. Now, I'd like to perform a price comparison of COTS hardware for 1 and 2U servers. What VAR companies do people recommend I check out for putting machines together? I'm perfectly capable of installing and swapping hardware components when/where needed, so on-sight support is not needed. Thanks much. Scott

Understand that it's a *guess*. If this fixes or at least betters the situation, you're going to need to find a legit way to insulate these cards, or to switch cards. If it's for customers, I should hope you wouldn't be using enamelled aluminum foil. :D -----Original Message----- From: Tongbiao Li [mailto:tli@viack.com] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 11:20 AM To:

Hello all this is my first post to this list so i would like to than you all in advance for your time and consideration. I am in the process of building a new server and have purchased some used hardware. There seems to be some hardware issuses and i am hoping nothing was damaged during shipping. However i am in contact with intel and we are tring to figure out the exact problem via email. So
