• 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.

• Dell Precision 690 memory risers

  Original title: Dell PRECISION 690 MEMORY RISERS

  Help...
  Ive a precision 690 workstation, WITH 4 GB = (2 X 2 GB) WITH MEMORY installed now and Ive mounted a 1kw power.

  I JUST GOT A PR OF MATCHING RISERS (EG) 1,2 & 3.4...

  BUT THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM BEGINS.

  THE DISPLAY SHOWS THE RISERS MUST BE INSTALLED IN SETS OF FOR.

  AS SOON AS I INSTALL MORE MEMORY MAKES THE FAN BACK SOUNDS LIKE HIS WILL EVEN TAKE OFF BY PUTTING IN THE GAME OF MEMORY (4 GB), I GOT IN WITHOUT THE RISER INSTALLED FANS TO ACCELERATE.
  SOMEONE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BECAUSE IM CERTAINLY SOMETHING WRONG.

  The page linked below can be useful, since it covers the installation of memory with the memory riser cards:

• 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.

• A power of 1000w Dell Precision 690 United States will work in the British system

  I want to order a replacement power and found a Dell Precision 690 1000W ND285 power in the United States, I know that this system works this power but wanted to know if I ordered it from the United States to be shipped to the United Kingdom (England) it will work here or is there a voltage difference that will blow/effect it?

  The reason why I ask this is that I repair my friends Precision 690 power because it starts not as it should be because it has the dreaded 1-3 and power button flashing continuously orange. I usually get it going again for him leaving on the supply cable of the day after / for a few hours, but the problem comes back finally after some closures, so not a solution.

  His system has 32 GB of RAM, a processor my171 mother board 2 Xeon QuadCore 5355, a Nvidia Quadro 4800 graphics card and 4 SATA drives and 2 DVD r/w drives all sitting in the appropriate ports.  I tested it on and all the way to no disk no ram, but even in this case the problem may occur intermittently.  I don't know that his power relatively maybe even a little somewhere? but I've looked and looked and left with the feeling that his power.

  but the only one I can find that is affordable is to the United States, the price they want to pay in Germany, I could buy a car for.

• Question OS/Hardware Dell Precision 690

  Hello

  I have a 690 w a single dual core running Windows 2003.  It has Mo MY171 rev A01.

  I put processors Dual quad X 5300 inside?

  What are the chances of getting work Windows 2008?

  What are the chances of getting work Windows 2012?

  Will be one of the Socket 771 X53XX Xeons in there?

  I put processors Dual quad X 5300 inside?

  Yes: http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/precn/en/spec_precn_690_en.pdf

  What are the chances of getting work Windows 2008? What are the chances of getting work Windows 2012?

  Good, but this is not guaranteed. It takes the server processors does not mean that it will support server operating systems. The details have never wanted to be servers - workstations. There is a good chance that you can load a server operating system and have it work perfectly, but there is also a chance that some of the equipment is the only quality work station and don't have drivers that will work correctly.

  Will be one of the Socket 771 X53XX Xeons in there?

  -What? Adapt? Work? 771 all fit, but not all of the 5300 X may work. See the data sheet above. 5300 X are supported, but not necessarily all of them. The data sheet says "up to" 1300 MHz and 2x4MB / 8MB, which means that if all processors X 5300 exceed these specifications, they may not work (unless the support has been added specifically through the BIOS update).

• My Dell Precision Workstation 690 cannot boot from the drive - I need help

  My Dell Precision 690 Workstation is unable to boot from the CD Rom what's happening, it's that when I boot it (revision of BIOS A05) and I go to the Boot menu and boot from the CD Rom it says floppy seek failure.

  Thanks in advance

  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?

• 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.

• 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.

• Precision 690 MY171 rev A00 mobo - hearts Xeon 5300 series

  Hello

  I know that this subject has been discussed in the past, but I am having a hard time finding an answer for my exact situation.  My Dell Precision 690 runs the rev MY171 A00 motherboard on rev A08 bios.  It currently has a single processor dual core Xeon 5150.  I want to upgrade to dual quad core Xeon 5300 series processor.  I've seen youtube videos and discussion with rev A02 MY171 boards that run the 5300 series, but nothing to confirm if the version A00 will run them.

  The rev A00 motherboard BIOS A08 MY171 will work two Xeon 5300 series quad core?

  Thanks in advance for the help!

  Today, I received my processor Xeon X 5355 to four hearts by post and installed in on my MY171 Rev00 on bios A08.  No problem during the performance of the processor.  I took out the battery from the motherboard for 2 minutes before relocation and commissioning for the first time.  BIOS immediately recognized the processor.

  I'm running window 10 and initially he saw only 2 carrots.  I went into MSCONFIG and made some changes on the STARTUP, the Advanced Options tab, you should uncheck 'Number of processors' and restart.  After that, the OS will see all 4 cores.

  I intend to run identical to the second X 5355 processor, but am waiting to get a second heat sink before a fall.

  Hope this helps others seek to upgrade the 690.  The two processors cost me a total of $20 on ebay.  Also got 16 GB RAM DDR2 PC5300 (8X2Go) for this computer for $10.  Computer will work great for $30 worth of improvements.  I still feel like they need SSD to run faster.

• Problems of precision 690

  I have Windows 10 technical preview on my 690 and I can't. I try to run the Dell technical support. It gives me this:

  "We are unable to recognize the service tag detected through our analysis. Please restart the scan or contact technical support for assistance. »

  What is happening with it? I entered my serial number manually and also used the software to detect it. Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  It worked! Everything is off the Execute Disable bit: in Bios/security and Win10 loaded on the Dell Precision 690 with no problems. Thanks for the idea! {:>) I guess I'll have a spare MB now at least. Was only about $30 with installed 3 GHz proccessors on Ebay. Thanks again!

• 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...
