    I have a G5 DL385 (AMD of the DL380 version) with a DLT3.   I use an Adaptec 29320LPE, appearing on the compatibility list.  We plugged a HP Ultrium 920 changer using the 'old method' SCSI passthrough.  We bought the Adaptec card, because we used initially ESX3.5.  We are now on ESX4.0, but for various reasons, the configuration left the same, so I have not tried with VMDirectPath I don't know if it is possible to use the SC11ex card, but if you arrive VMDirectPath at work, it seems then you need another SCSI card.

  • How to use an external hard drive to share files with other computers

    I have a HP Personal Media Drive that is currently used to share files with another computer. However, it is very old and I want to continue the sharing of files. Can I use an external hard drive? and if yes, how I have set up?

    I have an external hard drive, Toshiba-1 t. It is connected with a USB cable. My computer has wireless access, and the other computer does not work. The internet allows us to connect.

    Suppose that your external drive to your is connected to PC 1. When you open Windows Explorer on PC1 then this disk will appear as if it was a local, integrated drive. To make it accessible to PC 2, you need to "share". When you type this phrase in a Google search box then you will get many excellent recipes step by step on how to do this:

  • Portege R500-11Z: how to use the external mic and hear the internal speakers

    We have a Portege R500-11Z running XP and want to use Skype with an external table microphone and the internal speakers.

    When connect us the microphone to the Jack MIC the Portege, built-in speakers cut out!

    How to use an external mic and still hear the internal speakers?

    Hello

    > When connect us the microphone on the Portege, built-in speaker MIC Jack cut!
    Are you sure you used the microphone port and no headphone port?

    Have you checked your settings Audio from Skype?
    There is an option called ring through the speaker too or something like that.

    Please also check the Realtek HD audio Manager in Control Panel.
    There is a tab called Audio i/o.

    Usually, you can change the connector settings, by clicking on the small key-tool icon.
    Disable the option called Mute rear output when plugged headphones before

    As you can see is called headset and not so I m confused a little bit why the speakers are turned off when you connect an external microphone.

    By the way; There is also a tab called micro.
    Check if the two options that reduce the echo and noise are OFF

  • Portege R600 - how to use the external monitor on the docking automatically

    Hi - I just got a new Portege; R600-102. It's a great machine - very light and fast.

    I connect to a Slim port replicator to the office and I wish I could anchor and automatically use the external monitor without opening the laptop. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to do it? This process has worked well on my recently retired Dell X 300.

    More precisely:
    # I have the laptop closed Portégé and standby mode
    # I anchor in the Slim Port Replicator (SPR)
    # I press the button 'on' on the SPR
    # I see the message "recovery windows" and the bars of the countdown on the external monitor. (So I know it's connected and you can see the external monitor)
    # The laptop turns on but use the laptop screen (private) LCD
    # I have to open it and manually tell it 'out to watch.
    What can be automatically?

    Thanks for the tips.

  • How to use the second HARD drive of Satellite A210 - BP1 for mirroring

    Satellite A210-BP1 came with 2 HDD (160 GB).
    Now, I want to use the second hard drive mirrored the first, one that has Vista installed.
    This should be done without supervision and in real time - as a RAID 1.

    How can I do this?
    I also have Vista professional available and I would be willing to use 3rd party software as well.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Hi Jan

    I doubt that this is possible
    Why? The point is that you need to use two hard drives in mirroring, RAID striping, mode etc technology
    Satellite A210 can't RAID. It s only a SATA controller without RAID capacity!

    Therefore, the final answer is; NO, it is not possible to use mirroring

  • I'll be able to use the external dvd drive on microsoft surface?

    I like really the surface so far and I was wondering if I'll be able to use an external dvd drive on the surface because there only 1 usb port.

    Yes.

    You can attach an external USB hub or port replicator and connect USB devices to one. And, if connected to the network, you can use the DVD player on any other computer network with any active permissinns and sharing.

  • How to use the external swf semi-transparent mask?

    I want to use the external swf semi-transparent mask for the smooth transition. I use

    clip.cacheAsBitmap = true;

    mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;

    clip.setMask (mask);

    Everything works fine. But when I use

    loadMovie ("http://www.url.com/movie.swf", "_root.clip");

    clip.cacheAsBitmap = true;

    mask.cacheAsBitmap = true;

    clip.setMask (mask);

    It does not work... What am I doing wrong?

    Well, if your loadMovie is on the same timeline as the code that you set as a mask, then you need not _root.

    And sorry, I forgot, there was a problem with the main mc of masking that loadMovie is load in. While I was doing was putting clip inside another mc and called as well as mc 'container' then my code would look like:

    masker.cacheAsBitmap = true;

    container.cacheAsBitmap = true;

    container.setMask (masker);

    container.clip.loadMovie ("movietoload.swf");

    Download two attached SWF files and open the main.swf to see.

  • How to use the external USB camera on iPhone IOS 6?

    Hello

    I need to use an external USB Endoscope for the inspection of vehicles and etc. using IOS on iPhone 6.  I bought an external USB 2.0 adapter lightning, plugged in the endoscope (comments showed that this endoscope works on IOS devices) and it pops up and says that the device used too much power to be used on the device.  You are not sure if Apple cut the device to use at that time or not? But the device was always powered up as shown on the drive of the USB light on the endoscope.

    I downloaded several types of applications of the observer including I think that the right VLC who apparently used one of the reviewers and I couldn't figure out how to get an any of them to allow the selection of an external camera.

    Does anyone have an idea if it will work or how I can make it work?

    I would be very grateful for any input or assistance with this!

    Hi, I am a newbie in all of this. I would use the 2nd internal hard drive of our mac mini server (end 2012) for storage (in fact, I'll things rsync from a remote server to here. but this is not the point here.). The thing is, I don't know how to access the 2nd internal hard drive and where to start. I did all of the following commands in the Terminal, but I don't really know what they mean, and what can I do with this information. I've been Googling but most are guides on how to install a 2nd hard drive etc. I hope that the information below is enough for someone to give me advice please?

  • How to use the external power supply on Camileo s20

    How the external power is connected to S20 and registration is possible at the same time. When the USB is plugged into my camera it will not turn on.

    1. open the battery cover
    2. remove the battery
    3 connect the usb power cable

    Now you can use S20 with external power without draining the battery.
