Is it possible to run an Optiplex 3020 Headless?

My client uses an Optiplex 3020 M as a server.  No user connects to this PC.  Can it operate without a monitor? (without head)

Hi Ron,

Well, you're right, Dell is certainly not too concerned that this feature does not work.  For what it's worth, the electronics in the blind plug is very simple, so I am VERY confident that it is NOT the blind plug.  I think this has more to do with the form factor of M (micro) than anything else.  I'd love to have someone to try it on a TM or even a SFF.

I really have no place to put the monitor, but I guess I'll make room under a desk.  I COULD also use a KVM but I fear to confuse the staff of the office with "too many buttons... Laughing out loud

Thanks again for all your efforts and discussion.  The bottom line is IT DOESN 'T SUPPORT it.

  • Issue of dual monitor OptiPlex 3020 SFF

    Hi all

    We are looking at upgrading to dell optiplex 3020's, I have reflected on the machines of small form factor and see that they have a built-in VGA and display port. I wanted to know is it possible to run two monitors using the onboard VGA and a DP to VGA?

  • Series/PS2 for Optiplex 3020 Micro card

    I need a 'real' serial port on a number of Optiplex 3020 Micro systems and cannot find the Dell Reference number for the card series/PS2 option.

    I have studied the possibility of using a USB-to-Serial adapter, but was deterred by the seller of software and accessory equipment which should be connected via a serial port.

    Several articles seem to indicate that there is a series/PS2 expansion card:

  • OptiPlex 3020 TSRI support

    Hello

    Optiplex 3020 supports the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology. Is it possible to create a volume RAID-1 with TSRI added a 2nd HARD drive?

    If so, is it mandatory to reinstall Windows 7 from scratch?

    Hello!  Not that I know 100%, but I doubt that it supports TSRI.  TSRI seems to set up the consumer according to the systems rather then trade what I've ever seen.  Regardless if it was to be available, you will need to wipe the hard drive and start over like you would go interface AHCI HDD to a RAID interface that TSRI uses. Since the SSD prices continue to fall, TSRI seems fallen passing nearby.

    Hello

    Of course, you can install Windows 7 on your good old classic.
    But the fact is that there is no official driver Win 7 on the page of the European driver Toshiba, it seems that you have to collect the pilots in his own hand.

    But in general this should not be a problem of submission.
    WLAN, LAN drivers can be downloaded from the pages of chip manufacturer driver touchpad can be used in other models of computers, laptops and Toshiba as VAP (value added package) Flash cards tools or similar

    I was able to get this to work. My 8570w has an Amd over-pants 7700, don't know if that matters. One is connected VGA other Displayport. The port monitor must have a custom resolution defined in the over-pants Control Panel. except that it works perfectly. More laptop screen no. Docking Station 2 24 inch Dell.

    Is it possible to run splitview so that both applications are in landscape mode, while now the iPad in portrait mode?

    So basically, instead of apps side by side, it would be top apps down.

    I use goodreader to watch a video while surfing the web on safari. But when he was knocked down by side there are a lot of realestate lost on the side of the video.

    Unfortunately not. If I was a Pro too much it would be my favorite. Try using the comments link to suggest to Apple.

  • Is it possible to run DiagOnCAN with the NI-CAN driver only (without car Diag command Set)

    Hello world

    Is it possible to run DiagOnCan without using Diag command set auto - only with the NI-CAN driver (hardware I use is low tolerant speed - USB8472 and NOR-XNET)?

    G. Petko

    no problem to do with your hardware and NI-CAN frame API.

    However, you must implement the Diag and Services Transport layer on your own, which is quite a big job.

    I recommend you spend the money for automotive diagnostic command set that supports

    • NI CAN (PXI, PCI, PCMCIA, USB)

    • NOR-XNET

    • cRIO/985 x target (Pharlap and VxWorks) #.

    which means that if you plan to transfer your application in the future to different hardware target or the real-time target, that you don't need to change your app at all.

  • There is a possibility to run Labview projects or to set them off from a batch file or if the exist and the ability to control labview or run it from an external application?

    Hi, I m a bit new in LabVIEW and I'd like to ask a few questions...

    -There is a possibility to run Labview projects or to set them off from a batch file or if the exist and the ability to control labview or run it from an external application?

    -One API PI or raspberry beaglebone exists for LabVIEW?

    -Power supply Wich can recommend you control with LabVIEW? (some chip solution witn 0 - 30v / 0 - 3A DC)

    Thank you very much for your advice!

    Best regards

    Elena

    Elena,

    I know raspberry, so no comment on that.

    For the rest:

    -Do you want to create tools for developers? If so, we must look in the API of project VI and VI server. If this isn't the case, please compile your application LV as executable and call this one using a batch file.

    -LV prefer specific supplies. LV is a programming language. There are several power supply providers (including OR) which provide directly the LV API for their power supplies. So, essentially, the approach is:

    1. choose food that serves your needs.

    2. check if the power supply has a standard interface for programming (such as Ethernet, GPIB, or if the power supply is PXI, is already providing a programming interface!)

    3. check if the LV API (so-called "instrument driver") is available for the device. In the case of a PXI system, get you a device driver (for example NI DCPower).

    4. check if the LV samples are available (for example in the Finder for example LV once you have installed the driver).

  • Is it possible to run an executable on a Windows Phone 8 Labview?

    If I create an executable of Labview, it will be possible to run it on a Windows 8 phone?

    No, as Mike has already said.

    The reason is that an executable of LabVIEW contains a binary code that is compiled for the x 86 architecture CPU, and access to the Win32 API. Windows Phone general works on the ARM or RISC processors and provided only a subset of Win32 very limited in the past. With the new Windows RT technology that he actually moved even further the Win32 compatibility as it is all architecture is based on .net technology.

    So even if you happen to get a processor Intel Atom based device Windows Phone that would be compatible x 86 it couldn't work, because a LabVIEW executable is an executable format portable Win32 is not a picture of .net bytecode.
