New Forums Server CPU...
 

Sorry about the outage - just testing a new forums CPU. Had to pull it out because I literally smoked and blew out the fan (trying to rewire it - MORE POWER - JK).

New CPU will be installed tomorrow after I get a new fan at Frys!

whew...!

After that incident a few weekends ago, I was starting to fade, really fast! :( :( :(

Thanks for all you do, Wayne!!

Dude, you didn't get a Dell?

I've got all DELLs here, but I bought the boxed processor from Intel (not DELL) because it was hundreds cheaper. Turns out the fan was not compatible, so I just bought the fan and heatsinks from DELL for $20. Just installed the 2nd CPU again moments ago, and the machine is running fast and fine!

Nice. Holler if you have problems... I work in Dell's server support. ;)

I have 4 Dell 400SC servers at my house, I use them as desktop PCs and they are rock solid! Stick 2GB of ECC RAM and 3 250GB hard drives in and you're all set!

I agree Dell 400sc rock solid, work on Dell's all day from the small 400sc home server, to the large 6650's at work, Dell does a good job and really supports Redhat Linux well. FrayAdjacent911 do you work in Gold Support?

OFF TOPIC! Wayne, please move this thread to off-topic...



:D JUST KIDDING :D

Our company works for Dell, and the majority of our computers are Dell. Aside from that I used to fly Mike around and its hard to find a better company or computer.

Cool that puppy down and forge ahead!

Actually I'm in Silver... and I do a little RedHat myself. I'm starting to dabble in the Linux areas. If I get off my butt, I plan on getting my web server and an FTP running on Linux at home.

Since you asked, the machine at startup says: "Warning: Processor microcode not installed" or something like that?

PowerEdge 1600SC...

Gotta love it... go to a Porsche board to get help with your Dell processor issue.

Try going to a Dell board to get help with your 911 MFI or CIS issue.

:D

I dunno... why don't you call support?? hehehe... j/k.

I'll look it up, but you may want to check for BIOS updates. I think a later BIOS version will take care of that.
