Motherboard Issues

ibthevivin — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 23:10:27 GMT

I have a motherboard with the dimension 12" x 16". Does anyone know the proper name for this motherboard?

It goes into a Dell Precision Workstation 670. I'm looking for a replacement case but I coudn't find one on Newegg. I need helping finding a server chassis or desktop case for this motherboard.

HELP!

Sincerely,

Cisco Help Needed!

reidkersey — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 20:45:41 GMT

I dont know if any of you guys can help me out with this, but I am kind of stuck.

Equiptment:

Linksys RV082 dual wan router

Cisco 2821 integrated service router

What I am trying to do is connect the RV082 to the 2 ISP's I have coming into the building(for redundancy purposes) and on one of the eight switch ports on the RV082 I want to connect to the 2821 router. From the 2821 router I want to connect a standard switch with a computer on the other end. Currently I have been working on this and think i have gotten the outside interface of the 2821 to pass the test (the outside interface is interface 0/1. The inside interface is interface 0/0). The RV082 is currenly configured as a gateway and connected to both Comcast and Bellsouth/ATT. I have posted the 2821's router configuration below for review. The ip's are as follows:

Linksys RV082 192.168.0.1
Cisco 2821 (interface 0/0) 192.168.3.1
Cisco 2821 (interface 0/1) 192.168.0.100

Two networks

Nickum32 — Wed, 27 May 2009 02:24:35 GMT

I am currently subscribed to Comcast High-Speed Cable internet, but it cannot handle the demand we put on it, so I, being the farthest wireless connection, get the leftovers, which in some cases, is nothing. I am thinking about subscribing to AT&T internet as well as to my Comcast. I also have no home phone service, and am not looking to subscribe to any. I was wondering about two things: First of all, is this possible to subscribe to both services, and second, which should I subscribe to? The only devices on this new network would be my computer, which I do moderate to intense gaming with, and my Xbox 360. I am concerned about price and their following prices and plans are as such: $35 per month for 6 Mbps dl and 768 Kbps upload, $30 per month for 3 Gbps dl and 512 Kbps, $25 per month for 1.5 Gbps dl and 364 Kbps upload, and $20 per month for 768 Kbps dl and 364 Kbps upload. The two higher plans include a "free gateway or modem + AT&T Wi-fi included." Also remember that I am on a budget, since I am already adding to Comcast bills. Thanks for the input. BTW if you didn't know this, it would cost another $42.95 for another Comcast service.

Liquid-Cooling Systems for HP ProLiant ML350 G3/G4

jeffmaccarone — Wed, 20 May 2009 15:30:00 GMT

I have 2 tower servers, an HP ProLiant ML350 G3 tower and an HP ProLiant ML350 G4 tower.

Both servers are crammed into a small space - due to a tiny office - so naturally they keep overheating. We've had fans replaced from HP and still it overheats. We ended up adding additional fans (the same fans you'd use in the summer to stay cool) pointing at the units. All day long the fans spool up and slow, spool up higher, slow way down.. it sounds as if we're working on a speedboat!

So, I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. I'd like to replace the fan cooling with liquid-cooling, or even combine them. The most important, obviously, is keeping the CPU and chipset temps low. The 6 disk array is in the front of the server so I don't believe it would cause overheating as long as the CPU and chipset had dedicated liquid cooling. Hell, I'd take FREON cooling if it existed.

Can anyone offer me some advice? Price isn't as big a concern as 1) ability to work with these servers (tank can be external) and 2) be reasonably straight-forward to install. I have a CoolerMaster system at home on my personal dual-core Athlon setup but never tried it on a server.

Any and all advice would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks so much! And feel free to email me directly as I'm a traveling IT consultant and could use any information as soon as possible.. if you're able. it's jmaccarone@connectcomputer.com

Thanks a lot all! Keep on eggin'

I have no idea how to build a network- Do you?

bennadler — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:45:32 GMT

I have always been a special needs guy. Here is what I need:

A large central redundent storage location that will house all my client and work files. We are mostly dealing with high res RAW image files and design files for Adobe CS4 file size approx 500MB

this storage location needs to be accessible to my primary workstation at high speeds (ie eSATA speed)

The storage location also needs to be accessible to the other home network computers via wireless or Firewire

AND the storage location needs to be accessible through the internet for FTP and/or VPN

What I have:

A built 3.6 gig dual core desktop with 2gig RAM and windows XP

New ACER laptop 4.2 gig dual core 4 gig RAM and Vista

Several external hard drives, the largest is 1T USB2 interface

wireless 1g modem and DSL connection

My thought was to buy an external RAID drive and connect it to the desktop via eSATA.

Then create a home network through the wireless modem or new router

From there I have really no idea.....

Anything to watch out for concerning dual LAN?

vee — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:45:50 GMT

I was in the market for a new MOBO for a server using either a single 771 or 1366 socket. I will be using the MOBO for a server. After my last build I thought that my new build should have an addtional NIC card (having only 1 for the first). Then it came down to finding a board…

What are the benefits of having 2 NICs?

Do I really want to buy a board with both included or do i want to buy the additional NIC cards?

I notice that some boards list the dual like this:

Onboard LAN
LAN Chipset	Realtek RTL8111DL
Max LAN Speed	Dual 10/100/1000Mbps

While others list it like this:

Onboard LAN
LAN Chipset	Intel 82574L
LAN Speed	10/100/1000Mbps
Second LAN Chipset	Intel 82574L
Second LAN Speed	10/100/1000Mbps
Max LAN Speed	Dual 10/100/1000Mbps

Does that mean that one board has a single chipset doing double the work (hence worse) while the other has two separate chipsets doing the work more efficiently?

Looking for 2GB sticks for my T605 Dell Server

bustin — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 03:08:53 GMT

Hi all, I am looking into upgrading my PowerEdge T605 Server. I will be needing (4) 2GB sticks. Anyone have any recommendations on which ones to get from newegg?

Specs
T605 1xQuad Core Opteron 2350 75W 2.0GHz 1Ghz HyperTransport forPowerEdge T605
2GB 667MHz (2X1GB), Single Ranked DIMMs
2x250GB 7.2k RPM Serial ATA 3Gbps 3.5-in Cabled Hard Drive

I am also adding a raid controller and I will soon be running a raid 5 or 10 (still deciding)

NAS vs. Server

pressiniron — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 17:43:47 GMT

I work for a small business and would like to have a central location to store files that could be accessed by everyone on the network. Would a NAS device that attaches to our router via an Ethernet cable do the job? Also, what is the difference between an NAS device and a server?

We are running three laptops on the network; one with Vista Premium and the others with XP Pro.

Ram upgrade for Dell R300 server - 6950 compat?

xtotheish — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:44:33 GMT

Hi,

I would like to purchase either 2gbx2 or 4gbx2 ram for my dell R300 server. According to the manual it says: -

----

System Memory

The six memory module sockets are located to the right side of the system board and can accommodate 512 MB to 24 GB of registered PC-4200/5300, 533/667-MHz, DDR2 memory with ECC. See Figure 6-1 for the location of the memory module sockets. You can upgrade the system memory by installing combinations of 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, and 4-GB memory modules. You can purchase memory upgrade kits from Dell. NOTE: The memory modules must be PC-4200/5300 compliant.

-----

I would like to know which ram on newegg I can order, as I have seen newegg has difficult return policies on RAM. Please let me know what would be ideal, compatible, and will work once I recieve it on the server? I don't want to be stuck with a hassle of the ram not working once I put it in then figuring out how to return it.

Also -- is ram that is ECC automatically with Parity? are all Registered ram with Parity? It seems there are websites out there that sell DDR2 5300 667 Cl5 ECC Registered with Parity, and some don't mention parity at all.

Thanks!

Help with RAID for Linux based fileserver

JonTatham — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 20:23:18 GMT

I'm looking for a few opions on whether I should use RAID 5 or RAID 10 for a file server I am building to store MP3, H.264 and Photos. This is going to be built using one of the many flavors of Linux server OSes and an old P4 1.8GHz CPU, Intel MB and 512MB of RAM. I want to start with [4] 1TB hdds and possibly expand to 6 or 8 in the future.

I need a decent RAID controller (PCI not PCI-x) that will work with large arrays and will also work if I add an additional card in the future to increase storage capacity.

RAID 5 or 10?

Which RAID Controller (4 SATA II ports) for large arrays?

Thanks
