I am trying to locate the specifications for PCIe Slot 2. I was unable to locate the specification for Gen Type within the R300 Hardware Owners Manual. Is it Gen 2.0 or ?
I was able correlate a few specs based on the server being a PowerEdge Generation 10, but I don't want to assume.
Any specs you can provide will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello dears,
I have a problem with my server Dell R720 when its booting suddenly stuck on "Managment Engine Mode Screen" attached a picture alredy
I tried to log in Bios and configuration boot but I can't So please your advice?
Wael
server PowerEdge T110
Server does not see hard drives, perc s100 controller
For testing I connect other hdd to controller and they are not present
Hi there,
First of all sorry if this has been addressed previously, tried to search for someone in similar situation so I didn't have to waste anyones time but without luck. And sorry for the length, don't want to miss any details if they are important, I try to learn but computers aren't really my expertise as i'm sure you can tell..
Purchased a cheap secondhand T610 server exclusively for use as media server/multiple 1080p transcoding streams etc. Doing it all on a tight budget hence the 2nd hand cheap hardware (apart from the hard drives), a new 11-12 bay system is quite expensive ; (
Upgraded the dual E5506 to dual X5675
Installed Openmediavault NAS OS running on USB drive with USB backup in case of burnout
Removed PERC 6 and installed 2x LSI 9207-8i HBA for support of more than 2TB drives running 11 WD RED hard drives and 1SSD (8 HD in drive trays, 3 HD in the dual 5.25 bays with bracket, removed DVD)
Now just purchased 32GB (8x 4GB Elpida DDR3 1333mhz 2Rx4 PC3-10600R-9-10-E1 ECC/REG RAM) to replace the 8GB (4 x 2GB 2Rx8) that was already installed which was a bit too low as I want to use the RAM as transcoding buffer storage for optimal speed but a few issues and questions have arisen..
1) I put the RAM modules in A1-A4 and B1-B4 but getting non optimal RAM configuration at startup. Can anyone tell how they should be installed instead?
2) Would there be any benefit/conflicts putting the 4 x samsung 2GB 2Rx8 DDR3 1333mhz PC3-10600R-09-10-B0-D2 modules together with the 8x 2Rx4 4GB modules giving a total of 40GB or would they just slow down system?
3) Is 32GB a good number for this system? Can buy 16GB more for 15$ but I probably don't need more as such to run things, so apart from extra GB of RAM would I benefit in any way getting 2 or 4 extra of the same modules? There are apparently 3 memory channels for each CPU but I don't understand how to get the optimal out of it and it seems with 4 modules on each side it won't be symmetrical as some channels would have 2x 4GB modules and some would have 1x 4GB module.. but don't know if that's a thing
4) I don't have any sensitive data or enterprise applications running hence why i'm not running RAID and I don't really need the ECC, just want optimal speed. What BIOS settings should I have for the memory?
Currently it's:
SYSTEM MEMORY TESTING: Enabled
MEMORY OPERATING MODE: Optimizer mode
MODE INTERLEAVING: DIsabled
5) As of right now I actually only have 16GB installed as when I try to put more it says at startup that my total wattage exceeds PSU wattage limits (it's a Dell 570W PSU with another one for redundancy), and it downgrades RAM speed to 800mhz but then still won't boot the system up with 32GB. I knew they used more power but didn't know it would be so much that the stock PSU couldn't handle it. But I guess I am running a lot of hard drives as well (at the moment only 8 of them are connected even so 4 more will come). Did I do a bad thing going with 2R4x instead of 2R8x? Also performance wise. I can always resell and buy 2R8x although would prefer not.
6) To solve the wattage issue i'm looking at getting 1x Dell 870W YFG1C PSU, they are only 25$ which is still a lot less than the extra money I would have to pay for similar 32GB 2R8x ram. But will this mean a big difference in power consumption as the save could eat itself up over time.
7) As far as I understand the T610 is fine with just 1 power supply as long as the 2nd one is completely pulled out it should report an issue in front display (as it does if the redundancy PSU is installed but not connected to power). Is my plan sound? Other models than the Dell YFG1C 870W PSU I should look at instead?
8) As i'm not using the IDRAC feature, should I remove the printed circuit board? Maybe will lower power consumption slightly? Can't find a way just to disable it.
9) Getting multiple ACPI errors at start-up (see attached screenshot). Anyone know if that's something that I can do something about / what they are / why t's happening?
Thank you
Need good like for Broadcom Netextreme II driver for 5700 series, on r620 and r720 servers running 64 bit windows server 2012
I installed the latest build of ESXi 5.5 on a new PE R630 today. The server has an I350 NDC, an Intel X540T2, and 2 Intel x520 DP 10GB DA/SFP+ NICs. The server came with the 2 X520 NICs pre-installed, and I added the x540T2 myself. ESXi sees the I350 NDC and the X540T2 that I added, but it does not see either one of the 2 X520 NICs. I updated the drivers for the X520 SPF+ 10GB NICs and ESXi STILL does not recognize them. I found a post that said to disable a BIOS setting Memory Mapped IO > 4GB, so I did that and it had no effect. Tomorrow I will see if there is a BIOS update for the system and/or firmware update for the NIC. In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions I will be most grateful.
Many thanks,
Sam S.

Hello, community!
I have server DELL T110 with motherboard "PCB#: 316783600001_A00" and old SAS controller DELL SAS 6 iR (on chip LSISAS1068E B3). One of my SAS HDDs (ST373455SS) gone bad, and I'm trying to replace all disks to new ones (ST1000NM0045, SAS 12Gbit/s, 1TB). Unfortunately my old controller cannot recognize my new disks, while it works with old ones (who survived).
I tried to update firmware of the controller, and successfully ran it on these firmware and bios versions:
DELL SAS 6/iR 00.25.47.00.06.22.03.00 (original);
LSI IR ftp.supermicro.com/.../L8i_IR.zip;
LSI IR ftp.supermicro.com/.../L8iLP_IR.zip;
LSI IR ftp.supermicro.com/.../L8i_IR_052308.zip;
LSI IT ftp.supermicro.com/.../L8i_IT.zip;
LSI IT ftp.supermicro.com/.../L8i_IT_052308.zip.
All these firmwares works with my old drives, but not with my ST1000NM0045...
So, I think I need a new SAS controller... or new drives (but what?)
All the controllers for SAS 12Gb/s I seen work with PCIe 3.0 while my server has PCIe 2.0 x8, PCIe 2.0 x4 and PCIe 2.0 x1.
I just found that some PCIe 3.0 devices are compatible with some PCIe 2.0 motherboards. If somebody tried to install SAS 3.0 controllers into this motherboard please tell me what you think.
Hello
I am seeing a problem when the server is powered on it does not go beyond Ethernet Boot Screen and re cycles it self in a loop. F10 does not work too. I have attached a screen shot . How do I troubleshoot?
<Removed image because it contains the service tag in the title bar. Block out the service tag if you reupload>
Thanks

We bought a PE R630 with PERC H330 Mini (Embedded).
We need to replace this PERC to H730 Mini. This is the only model supported by our software.
Questions:
This swap is supported?
When swapping PERCs, will RAIDs configurations be maintained? In other words, can I import the RAID configuration in the new PERC? (Foreign configuration)
I simply need to know whether i get all 8 Memory Risers or only 4 Memory Risers upon new purchase of Dell R930 from DELL with 2 processors and 128GB RAM. Does the number of CPUs determine the number of Memory Risers after going through CTO (Configure to Order) ?
Hello,
I have a new Dell FX2s. It is populated with (4) FC630 Blade servers with 4 port NICs running ESXi 6.5
The back of the chassis has (2) FN 410 T Aggregator cards running in DEFAULT mode.
Also in my rack is a NetApp with (4) available 10 GB NICs.
Connecting all of these is a Cisco 9000 switches. right now I am using 1 switch until my second arrives.
I have setup a port-channel on the switch for the (4) FN 410 ports and a port channel for each pair of NICs on the NetApp. I have configured the switch per the Dell FN410 setup. I am running LACP protocol.
1. I am using this setup as an ESXi server cluster with the VMDKs on the NetApp. The FN410 is new to me. Has anyone done this before? If so, can you post or message me a skeleton outline of how you have it setup? I realize there a 100 steps, but an outline would be helpful
ex: each ESXi blade has X amount of NICs assigned to it with X amount of virtual switches. How are your free NetApp NICS configured, etc.
2. My main problem is I cannot get the FX2s chassis and the NetApp to see or ping each other. They are on the same vlan and my switch is setup per Dell instructions, A stand alone PC with 10 GB cards can ping both ways to the servers, so I know basic access port traffic is working. I believe this issue is related to the FN 410 card.
If anyone has this problem solved, please let me know.
Thank you.
I picked up a couple r410s off ebay, and the 2nd tray in one of the servers will not accept an hdd. I have booted the server, seen drives in position 0,1, and 3 - but not in position 2. I swapped the drives, so I know there was a functional drive put into tray 2, and the same issue. I even pulled the chip that the hdds plug into, and replaced it with one that I know is function in tray 2 from an r310, and still no drive recognized in tray 2.
What is going on here? Help please.
Hello Everyone,
Does this HBA Card "HPE 82Q 8Gb Dual Port PCI-e FC HBA" will work smoothly with my Dell PoweEdge R730 Servers ???
or i will face compatibility Problems if i install it into the servers ??
Please Help , its important for me.
Thanks.
Hello,
I am wanting to upgrade the current E5504 pair with a pair of X5667's. Is this supported?
Hello,
I have 3 memory cards (16 GB each) that I need to install in R710 Dell server. There is already 8 memory cards (each 1 GB) in the machine. I am seeing memory configuration error when I try to install the 16 GB memory cards.
I have looked at owners manual and trying my best to balance the configuration.
During my last configuration, I did not get any error but the total memory was showing as 48GB and not 48+8=56 GB
Can someone suggest how to place the cards in the right slot (A1,B1 etc,)?
Thanks
Hi,
I have a Dell Poweredge R420 as an ESXi server with many VM running. I need to configure my R420 to communicate to my UPS using the serial port.
I know that we can enable the serial port (COM 1) by rebooting the server and login to the System Services and check on it, but is there any other alternative way to check whether my COM 1 port is enabled? I don't want to power down my VMs.
If that's the case, is there any way to enable COM 1 port without rebooting the server?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Kong
I am a little new to Dell, I having a problem identifying the FX series Servers. I am currently trouble shooting a Windows Server OS problem, and all of the support documentation is always pointing to a Power Edge Server Generation, and how to read it from the first letter, number etc. However I cannot make sense of how the FX630 are read to identify the generation of the Server?
Hi all,
My environment consist of 3 M1000e chassis and I was having a case of one new Blade server not getting FlexAddress assigned even after checking it is enabled for the slot.
After applying the solution on this post I can notice the address changes when FlexAddress is enable and disable for the slot but my issue consist now on different address range between chassis.
I thought FlexAddress range was always the same 84:8F:69 is that right?
How to fix my chassis 01 then?
Chassis 01 - C8:1F:66:xx
Firmware 5.02
Chassis 02 - 84:8F:69:xx
Firmware 5.02
Chassis 03 - 84:8F:69:xx
Firmware 5.02
