It might be something with it's configuration. Have you tried resetting it's bios? Are you using it's raid or something like truenas? If you are using software raid, you probably need to flash it to IT mode. 

No i want to use hardware raid, im trying to flash the new firmware on it which may fix the problem but the problem i am running into now is that I need firmware version A03 as an intermediary before A17 but I cannot find A03 anywhere. THis is driving me fucking crazy 

Hello all, I am migrating from a poweredge R910 to an R920,

The R910 uses a Perc H700 raid controller and I have sas hdd's and sata ssd's on em and they work fine

The R920 uses a Perc H730P raid controller and that will detect the sas hdd's but NOT the sata SSD's
it detects sata hdd's just fine tho. 
crucial ssd's will say they all failed even though they work fine and their smart data is fine
samsung ssd's will have a green led but are still never detected.

Any ideas?

So we had a situation where there was 4 fake Intel cpus at our best buy, 

i7-12700

3x i9-14900k

You can tell the markings on the ihs is fake it's not the proper type of engravings. We tested them in 4 motherboards and they all didn't boot 

We had to get one from outside our inventory to get a real one

Watch out guys always test ur shit before the return period ends best buys is only like 14 days.

I support you buying more R930's (or 730's or anything else) just so that you have more than one server in a 42U rack. Far too sparsely populated.

Still not done yet buuuut

That's what I mean by what kind of power. (Also, nice.)

 

You'd need to add a 30 amp 120v circuit for a 3000va UPS. (20A 240v would work too, but 240v UPSes are stupid expensive.) A 2200 would fit on a 20A 120v circuit though.

 

Replace that thing with an R730, either a 16 bay or an R730XD, with dual E5-2697 V4 CPUs. It will be substantially faster than the R910 and should draw less than half the power.

 

For a point of comparison, my home server is an R730XD with twelve 12TB SATA hard drives, 512 GB of RAM, and dual E5-2637 V4s. (Going for single-threaded performance.) It idles at about 200 watts, including drives and a few PCIe cards.

So im the type of person to use all the power I can get so would an R930 (if one exists) use the same power as the r910 but have a shit ton more power? 

Also looks like ima get 2 smart ups 2200va.

What kind of power do you have for your rack and what's your budget?

 

I'd recommend upgrading to a less power-hungry platform instead of adding more power capacity to run even more ancient servers. That R910 must draw about 500 watts at idle, and one R730 can be built up to be faster than it and an additional R710 put together. Depending on what you pay for electricity, it could pay for itself in power savings relatively quickly.

What exactly do you mean by what kind of power? Rn it's like 4 20 amp circuits. Also Tru I do need to move away from the r910 but I have a plan for that next year, even then I still do need more runtime. Budget isn't too big of an issue rn although I do want to avoid running a refrigerator ups. Also yeah the r910 runs 550 idle and 800-900 full load. 

So I am going to add a powervault MD3200 to my R910 via a H800 Raid card.
I also want to add a Poweredge R710 too.

But i needed to cable manage my rack before i did any of those.
the question is i already needed more runtime than my smart ups 1500 (3 of 4 PSUs from R910) and the Back-ups pro 1000 (1 of 4 PSU's and all networking gear)

but the powervault and r710 needs to be backed up too. should i go with multiple more (rack mount versions) smart ups 1500's or go wiht a single 3000va

Well the same way, that people are thought to hate the sin, but not the sinners. Personally, I think very few hate apple. They just think they do. That's why there are a lot of people who's using apple products. But even those who use them and locked to the apple ecosystem, hate some of the things they do(probably most). Yeah I guess most... 

oh no i definitely hate apple, I work in geeksquad and apple repair system is very frustrating, as for other things i still cannot understand why you cannot connect your apple phone to a computer and treat it like a usb drive. I could go on but im actually here on the forum to try to fix a server issue i have

Hello all,

I have a Dell Poweredge R910 with the Perc H700 integrated, I have installed Dell openmanage in a VM, connecting it to the iDrac6 was easy and it detects things like ram, psu, and cpu

However the problem is that it cannot detect the status of the raid controller, the drives are the incorrect listing, and not all of the VD's are showing up. Anything im missing?

Here are some screenshots:

keep in mind in the installed software tab some of the versions it lists are incorrect and have been updated since then

if im correct the actual button that goes on there will have some sort of pad like a carbon pad that shorts the connection...see if its worn out or something.

have you tested another pcie card in the riser that goes to the x1 slot?

Will give this a go and report back. Thanks

 

This worked! Thanks

Nice, can you mark it as the solution then?

What is your budget? Affordable headphones that are very comfortable are the Fidelio X2HR and Beyerdynamic Tygr 300R. 

im def gravitating to the Fidelio X2HR right now, they seem to look more comfortable and has the correct input i need, also the reviews suggest it sounds better in the low ends

What is your budget? The only one comfortable headphone I know which has aux input is the Fidelio X2HR. Why does it have to have a aux input? Another headphone that's very comfortable too is Beyerdynamic Tygr 300R. It has a fixed aux cable. 

well my workstation is kinda far from my desk and i have a long aux cable going from my sound card directly to my headset which is why i need an aux input, also id say mu budget is like 100 but if its a little over its fine.

From what I got when I googled your stuff it seems these make reference to some Dell chipset drivers.  I found this link, you might want to check it out.  

 

https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/g-series-15-7588-laptop/drivers

 

Good Luck.

its not specifically dell since they dont make chipsets, its just that the  Intel GNA Scoring Accelerator modual is also on that laptop

That hardware ID is for the Intel GNA Scoring Accelerator modual, this should have been installed with the intel chipset drivers but it looks like it failed, what you can do is take the exe for the chipset driver setup and use 7zip to extract all the drivers, then in device manager right click on the base system device, click on update driver, then click brows manually for the driver, then click on browes and point it to the extracted drivers.

Currently i use a separate mic and headset, the headset i use is the sony wh-h900n. It has bluetooth and also aux input, it has a mic if u use the bluetooth but i just always use the aux input. 

The problem is that these headphones are very very uncomfortable. I got them new off of ebay for 50$ so i donno what to expect from them but i cannot keep them on for more than one CSGO match.

Because of this i have fallen back to using my altec lansing vs-2121 2.1 desktop speaker system but i need something for nighttime or when i listen to music outside.

Do you guys know of any good sony, bose, etc headset models that are more comfortable? It doesnt exactly need wireless but its better and it def needs an aux input.

Thanks in advance.

The raid 1 will fall back onto the lower speed much like how RAM does. It will be the same 5400RPM Speeds for accessing as well so you'll definitely be losing out on the speed side of the Black Drive. In my humble opinion I would scrape up the money required for a pair of Black drives to benefit from the higher speeds. Unless, You are okay with slower speeds of the Red NAS Drive 

that being said most hard drives cant variably change their rpm so the HDD would just access the platters less often.

Yo just an everyday normal guy here with a poweredge r910 and four intel xeon e7-4870's thats LGA 1567!

I feel like I already know the answer, but I want to check.

 

If I want to add a HDD and create a 4TB RAID1 array, my current HDD will be reformatted to add into the array, correct? So I need to move all of my plex media off, then build the array in BIOS, then move it all back onto the drive?

 

Trying to prevent a future "oh s**t" moment if/when the original drive fails.

80% of the time when you create a new array the controller will initialize the array meaning that the data will be lost. ive had some random raid controllers here or there be able to copy over from one drive to another but thats an edge-case...id recommend backup up your data.

well tbh with out that error seems to have popped up in event viewer many many times, and you havnt crashed every time one of those appeared or else the computer would be unusable....so tbh it kinda sounds like a windows OS thing or specific software thing. Have you tried to run this command? 

sfc /scannow

it stands for system file checker

OCP is on the PSU. And some units are now built to not care about hefty spikes like that, that was the entire point of the redesign of Seasonic Focus units a while back. Thus why Jaslion was saying it's worth a try if OP's PSU is a solid unit. 

Well If we assume a max of about 110 for the cpu on max load, and the 3090 according to multiple online source about 460 watts peak, and leave 100W for everything else then thats already 670 watts without any overclocking at all and when the gpu spikes that goes to 600 watts so thats about 810watts...even if the 750Watt psu can handle a spike of 810 watts i doubt it would last that long. Ive had a antec 1000W psu thats about 10 years old now go perfectly, but that was never loaded up...if i had ran that at almost full tilt the entire time plus spikes im sure it would have died much earlier

Making a high amperage usb charger isnt hard but I know that Anker is pretty good.

Linus does not know what other components you have. Neither do OEMs, that's why they quote 850-1000W units for high end GPUs, because for all they know you could have a 12900KS pulling 250W+ and 14 RGB fans. 

well other sources also do point out the about 600Watt alone transient spikes that the rtx 3090 is known for...so that would trip overcurrent protection of the PSU

hold on, linus said himself in the intel extreme upgrade videos that 850Watt and a 3080 is pushing it...so why would a 3090 and a 750 ever be a good idea
