• Windows 7 works with the Dell Precision 670 computer?

  I have a Dell Precision 670 workstation. It came with Windows xp x 64. I later upgraded to Windows Vista Ultimate x 64. The only problem I had at the time is that the host SCSI controller is not recognized by Vista. I used the XP x 64 drivers for the scsi controller and worked well. I want to upgrade my Vista x 64 to Windows 7 x 64. Everything else does? Doing a job? The Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor reports the controller scsi HD as an unknown (just under the name Vista Upgrade Advisor).

  The HD controller is an embedded controller the Adaptec SCSI HostRaid (Ultra320). I was not able to determine the model # of the controller.

  A representative of Micorsoft with what I discussed this said as a general rule, if your hardware works with Vista service pack 1, you're usually good to go.

  On the Dell website, it lists the 690 as working with Windows 7. It is a similar job, but I can't say with certainty how similar.

  I saw him last night. I'll look over it.

• Hard drive not recognized by BIOS in Dell Precision T7910 workstation

  Greetings,

  I recently acquired a Dell Precision T7910 workstation without all the hard drives installed, so I went to the store and buy a 240 GB Sandisk SSD put in the hard drive and then installed caddy caddy in port 0 (I also tried port 1 with the same results), and then I turned on the computer and it says "no drives found" press f2 to enter setup or press f5 for the diagnostics. I think there is probably a setting in the BIOS to configure the hard drive that I'm ignorant, so any help would be appreciated.

  Is there a CTRL-R (or another command CTRL during POST) to enter a for the LSI controller configuration utility? Possible that if installed/enabled, ports are managed by the controller LSI instead of the BIOS. However, I have not a 7910 to watch... just go out how it worked normally.

• Dell precision 670 windows 7 64 bit running

  Hi can someone tell me how to change the operating system for the precision 670 to dell for windows 7 64. do we have to change the settings on the Setup? Please

  Thank you

  Changing what operating system? You can not alter the operating system or install 32to 64-bit without a cleaning. You will lose everything. 64-bit requires a processor 64-bit capable. Check your system information.

• Dell Precision 690 workstation several hard drives

  I have a Dell Precision 690 and I am trying to connect the hard drives in the right order. The documentation says they must go into the HARD drive marked locations on the motherboard, but they do not work. The only slots that work are the SATA slots. I tested five SATA drives but I can only get three to work on three SATA slots instead of four locations of HARD drive and slot extra SATA as the book said to do.

  I tried which helps the controller under the BIOS: has no significance if it is enabled or disabled. I determined that AHCI is unable to be activated, it must be ATA.

  In the end, I need to have five total drives. Four in the slots in the HARD drive and the other in the SATA slot. (Which will be for operating system 1 SATA and SAS RAID 4). I realize that the HDD_0, 1, 2, 3 locations are to use SAS/SATA but I can't take too much work.

  In addition, I don't ' know if this is important or not, but he has Windows XP Professional x 64. BIOS A05 and I know an update is A08, I did do that yet though.

  Anywhere I can find that material assistance would be much appreciated.

  -E.Avalon (help).

  Yes, there are three ports labeled SATA (0,1,2) and four ports labeled as HARD drive (0,1,2,3). The manual says to connect hard drives in HARD drive ports, then in the SATA ports. The first two SATA ports are for additional optical drives and the last port is used for a fifth hard drive.

  I got in touch with several people in technical assistance from Dell and eventually find the right driver to install.

  Because I don't have the OEM disc that came with the computer, I was doing a new installation of a Windows disc. I needed F6 (third party drivers) to activate the HARD disk ports until the installation has taken place. (And honestly I don't remember what the file was immediately.)

  The AHCI could not be activated because the discs I have are Serial ATA disks and in the BIOS, there is a choice between ATA and AHCI.

  The problem is solved and I feel like I could do a test on this computer and become a technician for her.

• How to install ESXi 4.1 on a Dell Precision 670

  I have ESXi 4.1 of loading the CD successfully (I get around the problem of limit CPUID).

  When it gets to the stage of the installation, it will fail with the message "could not find a device supported to write the image.

  System Specs:

  Reference Dell 670

  Two-processor Xeon 3.2 ghz Irwindale 64 processors quadricoeurs

  2 GB memory

  A 72 GB SCSI HDD (currently formatted NTFS so is still a factor)

  BIOS is A07

  Any help would be appreciated.

  As written in the previous post try to install on a USB key.

  But VMs must leave a hard drive connected to a supported adapter.

  If SCSI does not work, try again with IDE drives.

  Hi Yolega20,

  Well, the DVD drive seems to work otherwise? You have all other bootable discs you can try, such as the Dell drivers and Utilities disc?

• The Dell Precision T7600 CPU temperature and fan speed

  Hi all

  I recently got a Dell Precision T7600 workstation that has two processors Xeon E5-2620.  I checked the specifications of Intel and the maximum temperature for these processors apparently is 77.4 C.

  However, when you run fairly intensive applications that can last a few days or so to analyze, I noticed that the CPU temperatures get much hotter than this no difference in the speed of the fan.  I used speedfan and CPUID to check the temperature/fan speed.  The highest I've seen the temperature was 90 c and the fan speed has been only 900 RPM.  He regularly sits on 70 c and still no response from the fans.

  I find this a little hard to believe given that surely fans should be a little lower than 90 c action!  I checked the settings of the bios (version A05) and the fan speed control is on auto.  I have also run the diagnostics and it reported no problem.  The fans run, but I'm not convinced that is the speed controller!

  Is this normal?

  I managed to re - install the A10 bios (it appeared to include a few things my already installed version is not ).

  Anyway, tried to launch a number of things to keep the processor at 100% for a few hours.  It seems that the fan speed changes now and the maximum temperature of the processor, I was able to get (and briefly) was 72 C.  He had served mainly the mid to high 60s with fan speeds ranging between ~ 1000 - 1500 rpm, as required to keep it there.

  I would say that the new BIOS has solved my problem.

• This card will suit my Precision 490 workstation?

  First of all, I want to thank Hunter for this thread and JMichael (and all) for reactions/answers interesting and very informative!

  I bought a refurbished Dell Precision 490 work coming arrived today. (yay!) The one I bought has the following specifications:

  • Dell Precision 490 workstation cases
  • Card mother Dell
  • Two processors dual-core Intel Xeon 2.0 GHz each for Total of 4 units of execution
  • 500 GB SATA hard drive
  • ATI FireGL V3350 video card with DVI output double
  • 750 watts power

  I bought (after consultation with Tiger Direct) from NewEgg.com (renovated) graphics card include:

   01 G-P3-1371-RX of EVGA GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1 GB 256 - bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x 16 HDCP Ready SLI Support video card

  In the specifications of the card it says that it is "double slot" However, the specs on the 490 show that it has a PCI-e 2.0 x 16 slot. The guys from Tiger Direct (after looking at the specs for the 490) said he would do. So my question is - is this the case? (no pun intended... well, maybe a little )

  In addition, given that the map is a refurb, it comes not with cables or CDs with drivers. I found the article on EVGA website and saw that he (originally) comes with two cables for the power - it looks like two cables of 6 pin Molex (3rd picture from the left row, at the top), it also says:

  Requirements
  At least a 450 Watt power supply.
  (Recommended minimum power supply + 12 volt current rating of 24 amperes).
  Two dongles available power of PCI-E 6 pin

  And people to revisit the issue on NewEgg.com said that they had to order power cables separated - then... I ordered two of these. Those who will work with the Precision 490 and this card?

  Additional information: the 490 I bought has the following:

  • 2 slot PCI-e x 8 wired as x 4
  • 1 PCI - e x 16 graphics slot
  • 2 slots for 64-bit / 100 MHz PCI - X with support for 3.3V or universal cards
  • 1 slot PCI 32-bit / 33 Mhz

  I really am crossing fingers and toes that they will work together, because even if I don't play (except SolSuite Solitaire lol) I have do many 3d work in 3dsMax, (CUDA is so extremely important!), Daz3d and also a lot of work in the Adobe CS5 programs, so I had to switch to the Precision 490 workstation (am also installation of 8 GB of RAM (4 x 2 GB each) for a total of 10) GB of RAM. Hoping it will be a monster and my models will look stunning in my pictures!

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Given that the card mother a 490, 3 PCI-E slots with the 16 X being in the Center, I would say that Yes it will fit in the slot.

  If it fits the length wise or past the heat sinks I have no idea.

• Dell Precision 490 - Installer reboots after loading install.tgz

  Heya,

  I'm trying to install VMWare ESXi Update 1 4.0 on a Dell Precision 490 workstation. (Yes, not on HCL, I think).

  In any case, I boot on the CD, and it proceeds along until the "Loading image.tgz" Stadium, after which it restarts without delay.

  I took a video of the process, and in the last screen, just before the restart, he says:

  Module: install.tgz

  Loading install.tgz...

  Start-up: MBI = 0 00010150 x, entrance = 0 x 0...

  I tried to add that the 'noACPI' switch to the boot options, same result.

  There seems to be something similar to what occurred here:

  http://communities.VMware.com/thread/263240;JSESSIONID=9C89E876F761BC5E6D528BBB5ABC810F?TSTART=30

  But there is an answer. (I posted here to see if the author has managed to operate).

  See you soon,.

  What you use for storage in the PWS490? What the rest of the specification of it (processors, amount of RAM, etc.)? Have you tried to install ESXi on a USB key (a device 2 GB +, SanDisk Cruzer work)?

  Once I have my iSCSI SAN built, I'll be able to see how to boot from the USB goes on my Tower of PWS490... Should be some time later in the day...

• Dell Precision Workstation 690 with Win7-64 final. -3 TB hard drive?

  I have a Dell Precision Workstation 690 with Win7 64 Ultimate installed.  I want to use a 3 TB drive.  How will I know if the SATA controller is compatible with a 3 TB drive. ???

  How to know what Board motherboard or the SATA controller module I have?  When the computer starts first the BIOS detects SAS 5 Host Bus HBAO (?)  I forgot the exact name of disks while he finds the SATA drives.

  Greetings Tenoc,

  Thanks for posting your question on the community.

  The integrated SAS controller that comes with the Precision 690 name: 1068 LSI PCI - X - SAS 3 Gb/s controller. He is old enough, at this stage, and I'm sure that it only supports MBR (limit UP to 2 TB).

  You can try adding in a newer card, like the Perc H710. Not sure if it works or not. There are various other cards you might try there.

• The power supply for Dell Precision Workstation upgrade

  Recently, I posted a question regarding the upgrade of that food to a XPS 8700 and it seems that I can use ATX power supplies and replace as necessary to these computers. But now I am also thinking of dell precision workstations, because I want to have a few relatively high-performance computing done on my system, what it seems as a workstation would be better, as the work of Dell Precision T1700 Mini Tower. But I can't understand anything on the question of whether I can pass the integrated power supply so that it exceed 700w. Thus,.

  (1) any reflection on the power supply upgrade, whether possible?

  (2) are there jobs integrated with a high (greater than 700watts) power?

  (3) in the future, if I wanted to know if I could make these upgrades to other Dell machines, where can I find out about this?

  Hi Daniel191919,

  Yes, most power supplies from Dell can be improved with standard parts. But honestly, the easiest would be to get a precise work with the PSU W 1100 high range.
