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.

  • OptiPlex 3020 Micro Series PS/2 Board

    Hi all

    I ordered the jury we series/RS232 for Micro OptiPlex 3020 (WN80W) on the back of this post:

    For use later to anyone, it fits physically the computer correctly, but he did not arrive with no screws to mount on it (which says the description on the invoice it will be) and, more worrisome still, there nothing to actually attach a plug DB9 standard to it, instead of using another connector I have not an adapter for.

    Request this part required a call to the Dell sales department, and I guess that's the case for the companion cable, but I don't know the part number for this. Does anyone have any help? Paging Chris M? =)

    Thanks in advance!

    WN80W is the number of the kit.
    KIT = (IO Board, support, cable, live)

    I bombed it and two numbers Subpart have been generated =
    17P6V cable connector
    80TKK i/o board

    But no support or screws. I don't know if the secondary part can even be sold?

  • 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:

    Support the map article does not work: ' OptiPlex 3020 M / 9020M serial port does not work.

    You will need to contact Dell for your country and see if the part number is the same or different.

  • 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.

  • Series number invalid on Optiplex 3020 - Windows & not activate

    Hello

    In our society, we have an Optiplex 3020 and have reinstalled Windows 7 from scratch I installed an SSD.

    -J' extracted product with a software key in the pre-installed windows 7 (pro x 64). As you know, is no longer COA sticker with the key.

    -J' downloaded an image and installed windows 7 pro x 64.

    -J' inserted the key extracted but windows says that it is invalid, so I can't even the phone option to validate the key.

    My guess is that I was using the wrong image of W7 PRO x 64 but I downloaded the officials, so it should be good.

    Could you let me know how I can activate Windows?

    Thank you!

    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?

    Should work. Don't forget to pass the system Bios - video and enable the multi-screen display.

  • Two monitors for Optiplex 3020 small format

    Just got my OptiPlex 3020 small form today. Noticed right away that a single output to a monitor. After the trip to Best Buy and learning that a regular video card will not fit my turn, no one knows how to reach two monitors to a small Tower? Thank you!

    I went with a Display Port-HDMI adapter and it worked perfectly. As soon as I plugged both monitors, the computer read and gave me access dual monitor without having me to do anything.

  • Possible graphics card for DELL OptiPlex 3020?

    Hello

    Is it possible to install a video card in the computer Optiplex 3020? I was recommended the 750/750ti from Nvidia that requires no connection to power, but the tech in the store guy told me that even this does not much help us play games because of the power bit my diet so is there anything I can do to this computer play games?

    Would like to play Dragon Age Inquisition and similar RPG, games don't care how high settings are, only 60 fps please. My computer looks like the cotyledon on the elevator.

    SSD won't do a GPU on INTEL Graphics.

    You need something like a Low Profile 7750 not because of the profile because of the power or lack thereof.  Machines of Precision 380 can be had for very little and can use maps video full size.  GTX650TI is required for finer framerates.  ZOTAC ZT-61101-10 M works very well in my Precision 380 with Pentium D 960 upgraded to 8 GB of ram and windows 8.1 pro 64-bit.

    R7250E is a 7750 remarketed

  • OptiPlex 3020 vs vs 9020 Optiplex Optiplex 7020

    Is could someone please tell me how 3020 Optiplex, Optiplex 9020 and Optiplex 7020 differ from each other? There are systems with the same configuration in the three models. I checked the specifications in detail for these three, but could not find difference. Even the chipset, internal locations and the IO ports are identical. The only difference I could see is the price especially for 7020, around 5 K difference.

    They are all very similar in specifications and the build configurations. I don't see an option to 'build' the 7020.

    Opti 3020 40448.36 = $617,26
    Opti 9020 40941.82 = $624,79
    Opti 9020 44590.78 = addition of AMD Radeon R5 240 $ 55,59 video card $680,48

  • Dell Optiplex 3020 - the black screen after dell logo (happened after windows updates froze at halfway and systems were restarted)

    We had windows updates run on all our systems of windows 7 in our medical center.  13 or so of our 3020 s Optiplex froze for eight hours about in a State of "install updates 1 of 24".  I have all them turned off and restarted units.  Once units have been restarted, they gave the Security windows startup or start-up option normally.  Those who had selected the option to 'start normally' would display the logo dell at startup, then click on a completely black screen (all devices still in market and monitors recording an active signal even if no picture).   Those started in safe mode w/o networking, loaded in safe mode.  I rebooted the machine in safe mode, and they all started out in windows without problem.

    For systems that go completely black after the dell logo.  I am able to F2 in the BIOS, I can run diagnostics from BIOS and I can't F12 in boot options, but I cannot F8 or SHIFT + F8 mode without failure or fact start in safe mode, please come under early start options.

    Anyone happen to know a way to launch a system of 3020 optiplex in safe mode without the use of F8, SHIFT + F8, go through msconfig or remote access to the registry (because I can not remote in the system on the network)?

    Maybe I can put the hard drive in a dock and change the registry in this way?  But can I change the potentiometer to force secure boot? or is it not possible to make a bcdedit to it as an external drive, install it in his camera and force it to safe boot the next time, he is running?

    Any ideas or suggestions would be very appreciated.
