• PowerEdge 840: USB keyboard and mouse not working not.

  Hello everyone.

  Yesterday, I pursached a used Dell Poweredge 840 to function as a backup server, I'm having a few problems with it but I can't understand.

  I installed the server with Windows Server 2003 x 86 edition and downloaded the drivers on the Dell site. It works perfectly, except for one problem:

  USB keyboards and mouse refuse to work.

  PS/2 works fine however, but any USB keyboard or mouse will not work.

  Flash USB drives read very well, therefore I used to recover some files on the machine before, but it was connected to the network, USB keyboard and mouse do not work.

  They are not recognized at startup and do not allow to enter the setup of the BIOS after Windows has started, that they are not always recognized. Windows displays the device as unknown device.

  I tried to boot from a live CD of 14.04 Lubuntu, in which the USB keyboard and mouse do not work either. Only PS/2 wants to work.

  I have tried different types of USB mouse:

  • Microsoft mouse
  • Acer OEM mouse
  • Mouse laser Logitech M-U0007

  None of them could work, although they work fine on my laptop, the main file server which is a model of HP and Dell Optiplex desktop computer.

  I tried a few different USB keyboards as well, but they refuse to work.

  I ended up borrowing a pair of keyboard and mouse PS/2 to configure the server, but I want it to work with my USB keyboard and mouse.

  Just for the record: the USB flash drives do not work very well, it's just the keyboard and mouse is not working.

  Anyone know how I can get there?

  Thanks in advance,

  Dominique

  Hello.

  Unplug all devices connected to the USB and PS/2 ports. Unplug the AC power cable, wait about 1 minute and then press in and hold the button for about 15 seconds. Reconnect the power and power on the server. Connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB ports and try again.

• 5.4 OpenManage cannot initialize new disks PowerEdge 840

  I'm bored of Array Manager. I think Openmanage is a poor substitute.

  I have a new Dell PowerEdge 840 Server with two disks SAS and SAS 5i/R controller of berries in a mirror Raid-1 (made in hardware)

  I have installed OpenManage 5.4 WITH the storage option.

  I put two new hard drives SAS I want to initialize and create another virtual disk of Raid-1.

  OpenManage sees the drives (loans and OK but not online) and gives me two options under tasks "Blink" and "Unblink.

  Now when I put two drives in my component Snap Server PowerEdge 1600SC Array Manager 3.6 MMC 3 years, I could create a virtual disk from the operating system.

  What happens with Array Manager. Why he let do this to me?

  What is going on? Why can't initialize new disks and create a virtual disk?

  It comes to my main server. I can't take it offline for 10 hours initialize disks.

  I went into Windows disk management and that he sees the drives but I don't want a Software Raid.

  Thank you

• Dell PowerEdge 840

  I have a PowerEdge 840 Server with 2 SATA drives inserted.  Both are blank discs.  When I turn on the server, I finally get to a point where I get the message:

  BMC Setup "press."

  Strike F1 to Christine boot, F2 for Setup utility.

  I press F1 and I don't see anything unusual.  So I escape and he returned finally to the same place.

  Just before what the server was very good start.  One of the other server tech in our Church (we are a small organization with the support of volunteer) removed the SAS drives that have been configured in Raid 1 and replaced by SATA drives and he said that it reset the Configuration of SAS utility make it RAID 0.  I'm not familiar with the SAS 5 configuration utility so I don't know how to check if he did properly but it seems that this error now appears after doing the unusual changes.

  How can I solve this problem?

  Thank you v e

  I'm not sure that understand the problem... it does not start the operating system? With blank discs, it shouldn't, right? In addition, change the RAID configuration would mean that it should not. Sorry if I'm missing something, but it seems that the work is half done and the operating system must be reinstalled or a restored backup.

  Also, if it's not too late (looks like that's not), do not use RAID 0. Configure RAID 1 instead.

• Can I load windows vista or 7 on this PowerEdge 840?

  Hey guys, first time, coming through a device like this. PowerEdge 840

  Serial number: Service tag removed by privacy policy > | Express service code: abducted by the Express service code privacy policy >

  I read the manual, but still confused, can I load win7 on this machine? It can work as any ordinary windows machine?

  So I went into the boot options and selected the dvd as the first player, but it just goes straight to windows server 2003. Something up with this device in any case, whenever I have manually close it restarts and the fan is very noisy? Is this way, it is supposed to work, or it is supposed to be silent?

  There is 3x73GB readers in this machine and there is 2 pci cards connected to a smal circuit located at the rear of the 3 HARD drive, what can I do here in order to bypass this RAID system to connect a HARD drive to load windows OS please?

  The connector on the disks look like regular SATA connectors but the description on the Maxtor disk reads:

  ATLAS 10K V, 3.5 SERIES

  73 GB Serial Attached SCSI

  They are not SATA disks? If not and I can use a SATA drive, do I have to remove 3 disks and place a SATA drive in one of the slots?

  You might be able to install Windows 7, but NO server has been tested and validated to run no matter WHAT client operating system. They are tested and developed for the server operating system. That said, it doesn't mean it won't work, but you will need to use the drivers 2008R2.

  Servers are not supposed to be quiet, but as part of the POST, the fans turn loudly when first energized. If they do not ramp down to a 'normal' speed, there may be a problem with the fans, sensors or environment (or the lid can be turned off).

  Make sure there is a check mark next to the DVD drive... means it is enabled. Also, how did you create your Windows media?

  You can install Windows with a RAID System... you just need drivers. What model of controller RAID do you have?

  SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) are not the SATA drives, but SAS controllers/cables/funds of basket are 'retro' - compatible with SATA. You CAN put SATA drives out there, but it won't change anything. Windows will treat it the same. Windows only communicates with the controller, not directly with the player.

• PowerEdge 840 Dell diagnostics on HDD utilities, even on the cd?

  When the PowerEdge 840 Server starts, you can press F10 for "Mode Utility" which charge a diagnostic tool which seems to be a score of 57 pre-created MB. We also got the CD with the server, 'diagnosis and service systems","Drivers and utilities", etc.

  These CDs contain the same on that pre-installed diags utility on the hard drive? In other words, can I just wipe all of your hard drive and install linux instead, and when necessary, run the diagnostics from the CD? (although I suppose that by pressing F10 doesn't work then). Or should I keep this partition with utilities.

  There is also a 2.2 GB empty partition. Which is necessary as well? For example the utility from the 57 MB partition should the other 2.2 GB partition for temporary files, or something?

  Hello

  It is listed on the driver page for the 840 under the section RAID SAS:

  http://www.Dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/PowerEdge-840/drivers

  Here is a direct link to the download page:

  http://www.Dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=10DNJ

  The Windows version of the file will be held probably in 2012, but if you have any questions you will need to create a bootable media BACK and use the hard drive of the updater version. The Setup instructions for each version are listed on this page.

  I have a MacBook Pro 17 withProcessor - in 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (circa 2007).  Running OS 10.7.5 (Lion).  System indicates the computer is not compatible with OS later.  Hardware can be upgraded to the latest processors and other components to make it compatible with the latest OS.  I think that later models of Macbook Pro 17-inch with processors that allow updates.  I was wondering if these can be swapped or if alternatives were available.

• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!
