• (Redirected) Precision 690 starts

  I have 8-9 years old Precision 690 with dual Xeon 3160, dual nVidia Quadra 4500 graphics card, double SCASI Hitachi 150 GB, hard drives searched. Computer worked fine until he ceased to start up.

  At the start, it does not show with Bios A 06 Dell logo, as it should.

  This does not suggest that the problem is with the motherboard, boot hard drive or maybe the operating system?

  Any suggestion will be appreciate.

  With our thanks.

• 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.

• Installation of SAS drives in Precision 690

  Hello

  I have a bunch of 10 k Fibre Channel SAS drives and I'm trying to install in a Precision 690. They seem to have connectors with 40 pins at the rear, a model example is the Seagate ST3146707FC.

  Is it possible to do? If If you could point me in the right direction in terms of what parts I might need. According to the manual, it can support 4 SAS and SATA drives, so I would use a SATA and SAS together potentially 4 drives.

  Thank you.

  Hi Hierchon,

  It is not possible to directly connect the Fibre Channel interface 690 PWS.

  These CF disks a SCA2 aka SCA40 connector and SAS uses a 32 as SATA connector.

  In order to use the FC disks, you need some type of housing CF or SAN which would then connect to the PC via a FC HBA.

  The SAS cable is necessary to attach a SAS drive to the PWS690 is identical to the SATA to the motherboard, but in training, data and power connectors are gathered.

  The PWS690 has two controllers. The ports labeled SATA go to the regular Intel SATA controller and take only the SATA drives. The ports labeled HD_0, etc, go to the SAS5 integrated RAID controller which will have SAS or SATA.

  I hope this helps others with these issues since this question is 9 months old. :-(

• 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.

  American food will work in my UK machine?

  Thank you.

• My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also backed u

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

  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.

• 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!

• Help move my datastore on external USB drive to reformat with correct block size

  Hello

  I use a Dell PowerEdge 2650 with a 550 GB disks configured in RAID 5 with ESX 3.5i

  When I installed ESX I didn't pay attention to the size of the block. This is the default 1 MB and so I reached the maximum extends. Which means that I can receive only 260 GB on my 550 GB.

  I need to change the parameter to a block size of 4 MB in order to access the entire table.

  But for this I need to move my existing data store that contains a lot of important files for me.

  I have not any currenty server with 260/300 GB of free space.

  I'll try the following:

  1. connect an external USB drive. I have ssh running, but I'm having difficulties to climb. I looked for info, but I am always sick.

  2. If possible, I would like to compress using gzip great records in my data store before moving. Can advise you on the location of the files in the system and if it is possible to do?

  Thank you

  Chris

  It is clear now,

  in this case if your VM's you buy a big enough hard drive 250 GB single VMDK file to copy all virtual machine configuration, not he zip or compress, you can screw all of the data on disk

  I have an idea, depends on the amount of data you have on your virtual hard disk, you can use VMware converter 4.0.1 and clone your VM with discs thin provision, Vmware converter will be "zipp" your VMDK file to the exact size of your data without any risk that would have lost you all your data.

  1 use vmware converter to clone your VM with discs thin provisioned

  2. low source VM

  3. start the VM 'new' and check if it works well

  4. If 4 is OK, stop VM 'nine '.

  5. copy the new virtual machine on your USB key (set the USB you your workstation and you winscp to copy the virtual machine)

  6 remove VMFS datastore

  7. create the new VMFS datastore

  8 download VM to the new data store

  9. creating the new virtual machine based on a VMDK file

  10. start the virtual machine

  see you soon
