• 4 TB drive added for dell precision t7400 but does detect that 2 TB

  Hello everyone,

  We had a Dell Precision T7400 running windows 7 Professional SP1 and we have added a new hard drive (4to), but it does detect that 2 TB of disk (already placed the GPT disk).

  I read in another post that I started to update the SATA drivers?

  Is this correct?

  Where are the SATA drivers?

  Thank you.

  Best regards.

  The drive is connected to the motherboard or are they connected to a controller card? The T7400 controllers (SAS 6/iR, PERC 6 / i) do not support disks larger than 2 TB. If it is connected to the motherboard, you must update the Intel RST drivers:

• 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.

• Card PCI-6259 is compatible with the Dell Precision 390?

  Hi all

  I need help in answering this question.  I want to buy a better computer for my data PCI-6259 acquisition card.  I tried to search to see if the card is compatible with the PC and there's previous numbers with this set-up before other users.  Do you have a link to the list of the DAQ cards with tested PC configurations?  I want to just make sure that when I buy the computer, everything will work without problem because I only have one shot at this.

  Thanks to all in advance.

  Kind regards

  justdomechanicalengineering

  Hello

  We do not have a link to specific DAQ board/PC pairings, but the specifications for the Dell Precision 360 indicate that she has three ports PCI 5V which must be compatible with your PCI-6259.

• Dell Precision T3500 and SPDIF Port

  Hello

  I'm in the market for a new computer because my old HP died and I really like the Dell Precision T3500. I would like to put one of my old graphics card in the new Precision T3500, a Nvidia Geforce 8500 GT because it has a HDMI port on it and I want to drive my television station. However, have sound out of the HDMI on the Geforce port, you must connect an SPDIF cable on the Geforce to the SPDIF port on the motherboard. Is my question, there a SPDIF port somewhere on the motherboard in a Precision T3500? I looked but I have never seen a list of anywhere. Thank you very much for the help!

  Chris

  Hi Chris,

  Thanks for looking in the Precision T3500 computer next and we hope that you don't end up buying one!

  That said, I must not be the bearer of some bad news that this system is not equipped with an SPDIF port on the motherboard. A possible solution would be to buy a sound card has a SPDIF connection and then connect the graphics card to that. Of course, it would take one of your PCI/PCI-Express slots.

  I hope that answers your questions - if there is anything else, please let me know!

• 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 390 and Windows 7 64 bit driver support

  We have a Dell Precision 390 and want to pass this to a Windows 7 64-bit operating system.  Several months ago, I noticed driver support for Windows 7 64-bit for the Dell Precision 390 model but pilot at the moment the site and downloads not support all these drivers for Windows 7.  It seems that the support has been removed.  At best, it supports only Windows Vista 64-bit.  Can someone explain why there is no support driver for Dell Precision 390 for the 64-bit Windows 7 platform?

  Tony

  I have a Dell Precision 390 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit loaded just fine and it is running.

  It is strongly suggested that you do a clean install.

  So I wiped my HD (after backing up personal files). Don't come to format your drive, I mean totally wipe it.

  Automatic updates will install the drivers you need for any connected device or visit the manufacturers for your drivers.

  So in short, "Don't sweat it".

  Go ahead and download this puppy goes for a few years.

• Docking station for Dell Precision 7510

  I have Dell communities very recently joined after I buy the laptop Dell Precision 7510. It's a great product so far, but I want something better. I want more ports. A cradle to go with it is the obvious solution.
  

  What is the best laptop computer Dell Precision 7510-compatible docking station? My specific needs/setup:
  

  -2 external screens (D - sub / HDMI, or for £50 in addition, connection I get display-port), screens may be more in the future
  

  -internet cable high speed
  

  headphone/microphone
  

  -Sockets USB for mouse, keyboard, printer, scanner, external hard drives, etc.
  

  I presume that the Advanced E-port replicator is the best/most appropriate. I just want to be sure of that, because my laptop model (7510 precision) is still very new and not all information everywhere put on compatibility. I don't want to make a costly mistake. I travel and will not be able to "return" the products I buy.
  

  Yes. I contacted Dell sales... service and they told me that the Dell E-Port Plus II is compatible with my 7510 accuracy. After written confirmation, I advanced and bought a British supplier on Amazon for £100... but he came in a suspicious package and did not work well, and the adapter was the size of a brick (literally). I went back to Amazon... and tried my luck with Amazon Germany. You can get the original product on their part for about 140 euros, and it works perfectly. The link to the product:

  http://www.Amazon.co.UK/GP/product/B00A8ESOVA?PSC=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00

  (it's actually UK, now that I check it... it's that I bought and it's good)

  Basically, Dell has not updated its compatibility information yet. The docking station is listed in the check-out for precision 7510, but does not say specifically that it is compatible with this model. I had similar problems elsewhere too, as I want to install LoJack on my laptop, but can not find information about the question to know if my laptop model is supported by what is called the 'persistence technology' in the BIOS (which makes it impossible to uninstall LoJack even if you change hard drives).

• Elgato HD60 Pro card causing "error allocation bar of e/s for pci device" at startup on Dell Precision T7500 (Windows 10 boots well after that freeze but occasionally)

  I have a Dell Precision T7500 with two processors, Xeon, 48GB of RAM, and recently I bought a PCI card captures Elgato HD60 Pro for streaming play.

  Whenever the card is inserted, I see an error saying to start (after the Dell logo and before Windows loads):

  "22/00/0: Error allocating I/O BAR for PCI device.

  I have 2 other PCI cards, which I removed and also tried to install the Elgato map on the other 2 slots, but the problem only goes away when the Elgato card is NOT installed.

  Any ideas?

  This is not a dell product.

  https://help.Elgato.com/

  Error allocating I/O BAR for PCI device

  strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility

  The PCI-E bus is version 1.1, but your card is version 2.1

  http://Ark.Intel.com/products/36783/Intel-5520-IO-hub

  Your Xeon processors are not listed as the min spec core I5 3 rd Gen.

  There is no solution for this its the same reason that OLD maps sound and TV Tuner cards also do not work in the latest and most recent machines.

  For PCI and PCIe devices, a BAR is a Base address register which is used by the BIOS or the OS to tell the device door on what looks to match its memory resources in. Most of the PCI devices in your system requires a certain amount of memory space, and the BIOS tries to adapt all inferior to 4 GB for compatibility with 32-bit operating systems.

• I will never buy another Dell as long as I live

  I hate Dell with every fiber of my being. I got 2 computers, a M4700 and a M4800 and none of them worked and I run an online business and have not been able to work while they keep breaking. Brand new, works does not in the delivery. I'm trying to get a refund now on the 2rd broken one in 5 months, and I went through the usual India bounce around and have been waiting for 45 minutes again. Last week, I was logged out 15 times. I told my story at least 20 different representatives who never write it down and then disconnect me. I don't understand how they have clients, running a business like that. I'm a Web Designer and computer consultant so that people ask me what to buy all the time. I'm going to write my story and leave it on the net. I've never jerked around this property. If I asked them to loss of activity and all the hours I spent waiting and trying to get this problem fixed, it would be 20 k more. No lie. This is my hourly rate more business lost because I have not had my computer for 5-6 weeks on / off power in 5 months. I've been waiting for more than 60 minutes after being transferred from the India. I listen to this music on hold lively again. Since I bought the computer of origin in December, it never worked right. He was dead out of the box. They send a tech guy who has replaced most of the parts and it never worked right, then they send me the M4800 3 weeks and he broke completely two weeks after I got it. I want a refund. I don't want a 3rd computer. Also, I have no computer. I can't work. Of course Dell tells me that they can't pay back me, because the original order went from 30 days. Which is ridiculous. How can they do that when I have a computer that has worked since the first day. I gave them a chance to solve this problem, and it is not fixed. I'm not waiting 90 minutes and they refuse to refund my money. I have to wait another 3 to 4 weeks to get a new computer. I can't believe they do. Now, I entered my code of service 7 times and it is not recognize all the numbers that you enter. It's like a loop with them. I can't get help. It is a nightmare.

  I'm blogging on my site, but the story is not yet done yet! I still have it in draft form.
  I never thought that he would go so long... in 8 months. Here's my nightmare to date.

  This is a true story as incredible as it sounds when you read it. What I find the most amazing, is how Dell is still in business running it like that. After about four months of Dell, I realized that I need the entire document. And the story is not yet finished and it's been 8 months and 4 computers later.

  9/2013- My Acer is overheated and cannot manage the level of video processing that I need for my business.
  I start shopping for a computer that will last me for years and be durable and reliable. Read criticism of M4700 for PC Magazine and think it's a good deal and good computer for my needs.

  Buy 9/13 this deal includes Pro support which is very important for me because of my bad history with Dell and terrible customer. I'm charged and the clock of the guarantee starts even if it's another two months before I was able to use the computer. Takes a full 6 weeks to get it. They ran out of somewhere.

  Oct 2013- Is not a DVD/R in writing, somehow, I missed it on the prescription. Send it back. Takes still 4 weeks
  
  Nov 2013 happens - I knowledge now, I did not Support Pro, and they will not give to me because it my mistake when I don't have for the accessible reader into writing. Too busy to put in place, leave it for a few weeks.
  
  DEC/2013, start moving files and put in place, but working on two computers for a month. Finally get all the programs installed, start using the start and I get a blue screen of death and multiple shut downs when you are doing something to do with videos, and then it becomes closed and blue just randomly screens downs for no apparent reason.
  
  January 2014 - blue screen boot all the time, before it was once or twice a week. Download Dell Remote help - middle of 3 hours of the night and can't fix. Reference Dell group still 2 hours and they can't fix it. Computer will not make any video work. The main reason I bought it. I'm starting to find a lot of other people on the Dell forum having the same problems. A lot of broken computers and blue screens that appear constantly.

  May 2014- Dell finally give up and decide to send me a new computer. Will be 2-3 weeks to get to me.
  A better that they say. I ask them to switch me to Support Pro because I had so many problems, they say no.

  End June, 2014 New M4800 arrives - spend hours to move files, reactivate all of my graphics and design programs web, office suite and many many programs I use for my business. Two weeks later, I'm downloading some work online and the computer becomes black. Does not start, all the lights at the top of the fair Board flashing.

  July 2014 Call Dell, hours later, looks like the motherboard is bad. I have no computer and now I have no access to my emails and my files of the company and everything else I need. Tech comes out two days later, change the motherboard, video card and more. Computer still does not. He has no idea what the problem is. Ordered another motherboard, just came back two days later, works again on this matter and considers "non repairable computer." I call Dell and they CS Rep tells me is not repairable does not mean it can't be solved. I talk to him, how can you say that? I need another computer replacement and before another 4 weeks. Now, I have no access to my work for the last 8 months and e-mails and they suggest I have borrow your desktop to someone if I can use the hard drive!

  I have an external one put in place, but it is useless to this situation on a laptop. The guy told me that I have to take the computer share following its directions on the phone until they send me a replacement.
  What the? Dell is going to force me to disassemble the computer to the phone until they send me a replacement? I already remove other two computers, and I'm getting sick of the present. All I wanted was a computer that worked. I have spent so many hours on it, and now they are forcing me to disassemble a computer? What kind of service is that?

  I hang up and cry. So I'm on my work. I need to get the job done and I can't. I call Anthony, my guy tech who tried to repair the computer and he is shocked by what they want to me and told him and his boss will try to help me get a faster replacement computer. He will try to reopen the case and talk to someone at Dell. They are independent contractors, and I can see fighting for not to say anything negative. He feels really bad for me, but he has no power or on what they are doing.

  I'm taking a break to talk to Dell, since I did not have another clock free hours for you can call, be disconnected and fight with them again. Whenever I call, I have to me shore mentally to deal with all the UPS crash and useful people and tell my story over and over again since the departments that I take care of not not talk to each other, and NONE of my problems are documented for the another dept to read. It's a nightmare. I realize there is good chance that I won't have a computer for weeks, then I begin to dig all the old computers that I and my Acer I bought the Dell to replace.

  It's Friday and the Ministry of replacement is closed and no one can help me before Monday. I called my credit card and try to get a refund and the refund Dept. is closed for Citibank until Monday too.

  My Acer must be at the top of the unit. I put a sweater and work standing on the air conditioner. I spend the weekend to transfer all files from 8 months ago at my dad's computer.
  The transfer of 'easy' of windows is 9 and a half hours. I spent the next 3 hours reactivate and install programs that don't yield on and digging at the old licenses and codes, all of which are on a list on the broken computer.

  

  July 29, 2014 Monday morning: first of all I call Citicard, a refund would solve all my problems. I desperately want to forget Dell forever and just buy another brand. Card bank Citibank refuses a refund. They say that Dell has a 3 year warranty, they cannot help me. I cried as I hang up. This is the first time I did not use my American Express card for a major purchase and I'm seriously regretting this choice right now. I called Citibank before I used the card to buy this computer and they told me that they had the same policy for refund/replacement such as American Express. Amex would be of me reimbursed. You can count on them regarding such things. I will never buy something big with my Citibank credit card again.

  I decided to try again with a different CS Rep., I hope they won't have me disassemble the computer it's release-able before they order me my 3rd computer but I have my tools out and I ready to to do that if that's the only way I can get my replacement computer.

  Dell phone service is the worst and after that I finally find the right dept I ask for a refund and they say no way, but when they put me on hold, I learned to be queued means that you will be disconnected with Dell. I think that 'hold' is the code for hang up on this person. I added to the top how time may that I was hooked to the top/disconnected upward by them and it now more than 30 times. The total number of real. Can you imagine if I was a boss or an employee for Dell? This is not the case for me.

  I connect everything and everyone that I get, I ask their name, and ask them to call me if we get disconnected. In two hours I'm trying to get help this morning I eventually call Dell more than 8 times. One of them told me before it disconnects / places awaiting me, "our software is.". Two of the 8 people who pulled swear me they help me and promise to call me if we're disconnected but never call back me. Another said to me earlier in the day, "we had problems with some of the parts of these machines. I have names for everyone, but they are not real half the time and you can never talk to them or even to find them. Two hours later, 8 disconnects and 5 times my story and enter all my information on the phone and listen to their music on hold, I now hate with a passion.  I get a CS Rep named Eric who says he will take my case and take responsibility for it.  He will order me a replacement. Erik assures me that he will be in charge of my case and I don't have to continue to talk to different people. I get the confirmation email saying he'll come within 10 working days.

  Usually 2-3 weeks of not having a working machine. Another day of shooting. I can't do any work for my clients and work piling up. Children begging me to buy a computer from anyone but Dell and just sell the following that they send me on Ebay. I feel that how can I do this to someone else? I don't know how the guarantee would transfer more and honestly, I feel like it would be dishonest to stick to a person with this problem.

  7/30 Computer replacement number 3. I try to remove the hard disk from broken replacement machine number 2, but one of the 5 screws to remove to get out the hard disk is stripped. A screw away from my life back. I call Dell.
  Customer Service-says his name is "Alex", I ask to be sent to a tech person to remove the screw. Waiting and the phone for an hour. Refused. I told me they don't do that. I need to go somewhere and pay me or mail back into the computer and they will then send me the back of the hard drive.
  Within 10 working days. I've now had my computer for more than 5 weeks. I pray you, they refuse. I take the hardware to the computer store and they use their tools extractor and may not leave the screw. They are trying. I love my local hardware store. Thank you True Value Hardware in Castro Valley, you guys are the best. They are like your time old corner store. They are actually in the middle of a neighborhood. They seem to have a bit of everything and generous in offering to help you when you have these weird problems. I'm going home and email Eric, my rep cs who promised that he would take responsibility for my case, and I ask him to help me please. Here's what he sent back 24 hours later.
  "I'm sorry, Madam, but I must inform you that I no longer work in the Department of the workstation. I have moved to another Department and no longer have my old cases, including yours. Your case will be given to a new owner if. I trust that they will be able to solve your problem. ».
  I just laugh at it. I'm at the point now where the only thing that will make me feel better is to publish my story and leave my honest comments everywhere on the internet. Dell will spend millions to get new customers and then they treat them like that. What is the problem with this company? I will become the person walking anti-dell in my personal life.
  A dark reminder of what can happen with Dell if you have any kind of problems. I have send an email 'Mary', who told me her name was Alex yesterday, but my follow-up e-mail is Mary. Now I ask a confirmation email whenever I talk to someone, but I only get these about 1 5 times. I learned to try to force them to send me an e-mail while I'm still on the phone. I beg you to help me. No response... never.
  I now know to call, nobody will help twice. Just wait for that if you buy a Dell computer. You never have a person who will help you in fact. They are all fired the ball and you can't get real names, extensions or anything like that.
  
  7/31 call CS Rep name is Karla. 1 hour. I make sure Karla is going to call me at the time where I'm getting hung up. She is wise and never put me on hold for the whole time we're talking about. She puts just the phone down instead. Seriously, I think that it is the ONLY way that Dell will not cut you. I feel hope, it may be actually trying to help me. I request this be dealt with in order to return the computer and recover the hard disk. I'm ready to box it upward, and then return to the UPS Store for the 4th time to regain a Dell computer. I ask him if they can speed up it somehow since I am now 5 weeks without a working computer.
  At this point, I do not expect anything. I kept telling them how I run an online business and can't do my job and have the year last of my life on this hard drive. Why bother? They don't care. No one took in charge the world this month as any other 8 that my CS Rep John 1, whose email I can't access even more and they wouldn't give it to me once again when I asked. Karla talking to several departments different and after a lot of time to hold (but not actually put on hold, thank God), she tells me that they will send a technician home to remove the screw. Seriously? Can you even believe this? I begged Mary/Alex yesterday and she was cold and unyielding, there is no way that would happen. I expressed my disbelief to Karla, who said only: I am pleased that help you, it will be 3-4 days for the service call? Much better than the 10 days that looks more like 3 weeks.

  Independent contractor for Dell Anthony released two days later and can't get out the screw.
  Now he almost 05:00 for Dell and I will not be able to get any aid again until Monday, this guy Brian tells me that I'm out of warranty before it bothers even to read my file. I tell him I'm on my replacement computer 3rd of them so I'm certainly not out of warranty. And to find my service ticket, he put me on hold and... Click, disconnected. Every time. Like clockwork.

  I call back review this brand-new and the rep, Josephine said I have to put you on hold... I Scream no, until it can do (and disconnect me again), and I beg him to put just the phone down.  She does and I have heard all the people on the phone, wow, who are strong and then after 5 minutes it goes silent... oh no, please please do not disconnect me once again... I have to just sit here and wait for the operator turns on and says: ' If you want to make a call, please hang up and try again. Wow, I truly memorized by high hanging on so many times by Dell and hear the interrupt message. Josephine, he said now the warranty is not displayed. Honestly at this point, I think I should write off the 2000.00 for this machine and forget it. I easily lost 10 times x billable hours and work during this period of not being able to do my job and on the phone trying to correct problems with Dell. Josephine treated the return of order, and I ask him how can I be sure that I will come back this hard drive? I don't trust them at all. I do not hang up until I get the email of its confirming everything. Also sincere to someone of you other sufferers as it there, don't let them put you on hold! Tell them to put just the phone down. It's the only way you will not be disconnected.

  

  Since I bought the first Dell Sept 2013, I do not have the use of my computer for 4 months. Up to half of the time since I placed the original order. As of today, I am looking at another 2 weeks until they send me back my hard drive. I do not have a usable computer to return to my work online.
  I was forced to recreate jobs and combine work better as I can for my clients. My email is an obsolete year now and I have no access to the programs and files on the hard drive that has a stripped screw.

  TO BE CONFIRMED...

• How to open the Panel rear Dell Precision M4600

  I want to open the back of the Dell Precision M4600 Panel so that I can increase the RAM and also put in a secondary hard drive. There is no documentation or a tutorial for that. Anyone can provide and guide on how to do it? I can't remove the battery, but here I'm lost. I see 2 screws on the back rear panel, but I don't know if it's the right screw to remove.

  Any help is appreciated.

  EDIT: Found the manual!

  To add to the post of urlnotfound:

  Remove the two screws under the battery holding the lid.

  Slide, sometimes with a bit of force, the cover backward toward the back of the laptop.  Only, he moves about 1/4 "and is free to raise at this time here.

  Note that there is only a single 2.5 "HDD place, and it's the hot-swapable one you see on the side (still to figure out how to remove it, level didn't seem to do anything - for the moment).  "2nd HARD drive" is actually a dedicated slot 'mSATA', which means minicards SATA.  It's a tiny, as the three PCI-express slot you see when you remove the cover.  They are very rare to buy the property.  I really wish that I bought a Dell offered, aftermarket cause they are next to the non-existent.  I found only 2 manufacturers, which are the same brands under the hood.  But they are only the size of 50mm.  I want a site of 70mm slit in the WWLAN PCI-Express slot, cause those are available up to 240 GB.

  And FYI, devices with SATA II interfaces mSATA can get up to 240 to 250 MB/s read/write!  No, there are no mSATA SATA III that I could find.  Wanted for a month for them...

  Note also that only two senior RAM sticks are available here.  I'm about to call Dell support for where are the othe two DIMM slots (very probably have to remove the background map).

• 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...
