Hi everyone,
Recently I've upgraded my R720 server with Intel Xeon E5-2670.
After the upgrade the processors temperatures are higher than before.
Before the upgrade the temperature was around 62º and now is around 78º.
For this processor, E5-2670, this temperature is normal?
Anyone could help me?
The release notes for iDRAC6 Firmware release 2.90 mention that TLS1.0 can be disabled via the CLI using the racadm command 'tlsencryptionstrength'.
Is there another version of racadm somewhere that provides this command as it is not available with the OpenManage 8.5 toolset released in March this year?
No matter what I do I am not able to get the virtual console running on my R610. I have two R710's and a R610 ii and I can use the virtual console on them just fine.
I have tried re-updating iDRAC firmware, restarting iDRAC, changing console settings, compared settings between R710s and R610. Added IP's to Javas exception list, etc. I even tried the tool from github using Java 1.7.0_80. That works just fine on my R710's and R210 but it still does not work on the R610.
When I launch the remote console from iDRAC GUI Webpage, I open downloaded file and it goes through all the normal java warnings. Then it says: Connecting to remote console server, and almost immediately I get connection failed.
Using the tool from github I get:
Enter Password:
09/12/2017 07:56:57:654: Starting client.
====setPowerMenuStatus: (##2)*
And then it crashes back to command prompt.
On the working consoles I get:
Enter Password:
09/12/2017 07:58:31:701: Starting client.
====setPowerMenuStatus: (##2)
ProtocolAPCP: Version [1.0]
NativeKeyboard.init() Native library loading [jawt]
NativeKeyboard.init() Native library loading [avctKVMIO]
NativeKeyboard.init() Native library loading complete.
and it continues on.
Kind of at a loss on this now.
How do I go about updating firmware on power supplies in a FX2s chassis?
thanks

Hi,
We have a Dell PowerEdge Server. Upon testing it running the diagnostics, it stops working (freezes) when it comes to the OD (DVD,CD-ROM Drive).
1.) Firstly, it detects TWO OD's instead of the single one that is installed.
2.) Secondly, as soon as it starts the OD test, it freezes
3.) If we remove the OD drive, it works and completes diagnostics successfully
4.) We replaced the OD drive and the cable but the issue persists
5.) We tried to obtain a new mainboard for the server, but the part we received was a recon unit and had pins bent on the CPU socket.
6.) Occasionally the system will throw out a large garbage error messages on a "dos" looking screen. White text, black background.
a.) Any idea why this is happening ?
b.) How can this be sorted ? MB ? CPU ?
c.) The server works fine otherwise but we don't want to run into any issues down the line so this freezing issue is a problem. For now, we are trying to get an entire new server.
Good morning everyone.
I am looking to set up home server using NAS4Free for mostly file sharing (photos, music, video, documents). Not looking to do anything too fancy. I have windows, apple, and Ubuntu machines at home.
Had a question on RAM. I currently have 12Gb of UDimm. I also have 32Gb of RDimm lying around. I know they can not be mixed and matched. Is there any advantage of using one setup over the other?
The R710 I have for this is a single quad processor machine. Here are the specs:
One Xeon X5677, 3.46Ghz, 12M Cache, 1333Mhz
Dual 570W power supplies
12GB (6x2Gb), 1333Mhz UDIMMs (I believe I have 32GB of RDIMM)
All firmware has been updated.
No RAID controller (hoping to do software RAID)
Loaded up the OS on the internal USB drive and seems to be working fine. In the process of configuring the software RAID but need to do more reading.
Thank you.
We added three new drives to our server and were going to add them to the Raid volumn but received an error saying there was insufficient power. Dell technical support sold us 750w power supplies to replace our 495w units. When they arrived over a month later we installed them but the warning did NOT go away. Viewing from the idrac I can see that the server still thinks that it has the 495w power supplies and I need to know where to go from here.

Can I add a second proc to this server without any issues?
Thanks,

I have provided a client with a proposal that includes 80 PowerEdge R430 Production Servers with 64GB RDIMM and 400 X2 GB SSD + PowerEdge Management Servers with 32GB RDIMM and 300 X 2 GB SSA, housed in 3 Dell Netshelter cabinets.
These are used for IPTV with 24/7/365 continuous service. How do I compute the total power requirement for the above system?
Thanks!
HI
The Server is about 1 month OLD and now its crashed 2 times with msg

Hello,
I have a PE2950 which boots with the following:
Testing memory. Please wait.
Keyboard failure
I'm not able to use the keyboard and change the BIOS setting at all or configure raid volumes without keyboard. What does this mean? USB hub is broken on the board or I have to reset the MB or something??? BIOS is 2.7.0, I just upgraded via PXE boot with automatic flash script.
It is not the keyboard that works well with the other PE2950s.
Any help appreciated!
Thanks

Hi
We got an new R330 server with an PERC H730 controller and it seems it blocks my (Hitachi & Seagate) 600 GB SAS Hard disks. Status: "BLOCKED"
The system and the PERC controller is updated to the latest firmware.
I understood that there was in the past years some issue with "blocked" non-dell certified HDD's but DELL decided to unlock them again with an updated firmware.
The controller reads out and display the basic information of the HDD's so there is communication.
Is the "blocking" again in place in 2017 or is there some other problem with my disks?
How to solve this?
thanks & best regards
Michel
Buenas tardes.
Estoy tratando de instalar un nuevo sistema operativo en mi servidor power edge R210. Cuando selecciono que inicie desde el cd, para poder ejecutar el openManage Systems Management Tools and Documentation, el servidor informa que no hay un dispositivo booteable.
He intentado con la versión 5.4, 6.2 y 7.1 del openManage Systems Management Tools. Tambien probé con el cd del sistema operativo (windows server 2008) y tampoco funcionó. Asimismo, probé con otros live cd y estos si funcionan correctamente.
Verifiqué que la lectora de cd/dvd este correctamente instalada en la motherboard.
Que sugieren que pueda hacer ?
Muchas gracias.
Saludos.
Folks,
Recently purchased 2 R710's from eBay and thought all was going well until I powered up the 2nd server. The first thing I noticed right away was the Dell logo and status bar upon BIOS boot were missing. It does however recognize it's an R710 and using 6.4.0. I've tried reflashing the BIOS with 6.4 and even older versions but no fix yet. I came across something about OEM BIOS but could'nt really piece together a plan to get it back to a Dell factory flash.
Any ideas?
i bought an R710 system-board model 0YDJK3 to replace my old board with same model number.
when installing new board the bottom tray dose not align properly with the guides so it will not fit properly into chassis.
i would like to see if it is possible to remove both system boards from their treys so i can use the one that fits nicely in chassis
I cannot power on the c6320 with 2696v4
But I can power on it with 2683v3.
Hello Dell community,
I need a part replacement for a PowerEdge R720.
I do not know the name of this part, but it goes at the front of the server (right side). See image attached.
Do you guys know the name? Where can I buy the replacement? Also, what is the socket of the screwdriver, I need to remove it?
Hi
I am planning to add new CPU to Dell PowerEdge R430 Server. Currently server working as single socket server and with the upgrade need to be dual socket server.
1.) I am going to order CPU with exact similar server model with currently existing module. Are there anything should I order apart from that?
2. ) Is it only to follow the steps given in owner's manual? Do I need to do any BIOS upgrade ?
3.) Will these processor modules HT enabled by default?
Thanks

We have Secure Boot enabled in our environment as a standard, but we also have some PowerEdge M630s with Intel X520 Mezz cards installed whose firmware is old enough not to have a signed boot ROM, which means that every single time those servers reboot, they halt on a Secure Boot warning about the NIC's untrusted firmware. The fix is of course to update the firmware, but even the latest updates available on support.dell.com for the X520 and X710, both released in the last 1-2 weeks, do not run on Windows Server 2016 -- even though they're listed in the Drivers and Downloads page after I select Server 2016 as my OS. The updates instead immediately fail with an "Inventory Collection Failed" error, and when I extract the update contained in the Dell package to run the underlying file directly and dig through the logs it generates, the root error mentions an unrecognized OS. In our particular environment it isn't feasible to temporarily move these NICs into servers running an older OS in order to complete the update, nor will these firmware updates run from WinPE or even directly on the Lifecycle Controller. Disabling Secure Boot also isn't a viable option, especially with no ETA on when the underlying problem will be resolved.
I'm not sure if this is a Dell issue or an Intel issue, but Windows Server 2016 has been out for a year now, and in fact Microsoft just announced the NEXT release called Windows Server 2016 Version 1709, which will be coming out this month or next, so there is absolutely no excuse for major OEMs like Dell and/or Intel to not fully support 2016 by now.
