POWEREDGE 2900 III NOISE

Hi, we are planning to buy a few PE 2900 to perform simulations and store data. I not read messages on how noisy is the new EP. I would like to have some quantitative information on noise level, expressed in dB and not with adjectives (a little bit, very, very, extremely, etc...). :)

I can't believe that Dell has not made a measure of noise on these machines. The argument that the PE a server that no one really cares cannot be applied to a model of tower chassis. If I buy a PC rack mounted I'll put it in a calculation of the room, but if I buy a turn one I'll probably put under my desk. In fact, it is our plan, putting the machines in our office.

All the news are welcome, but in particular, I would like to know what is the level of noise when the two processors operate at 100% for an extended period of time (we intend to buy Dual QuadCore configuration).

Thank you

  • Upgrade memory PowerEdge 2900 III

    All 3 poweredge 2900 people use the same type of ram? I have a dell poweredge 2900 III and am looking at an upgrade of ram which is listed as compatible with the first generation, the PC2-5300F. I was wondering if this does not work for my 2900 gen 3.

    Also, can someone shed some light on what the maximum capacity of RAM for the 2900 III.

    Thank you guys!

    Hello.

    The PC2-5300F which is a fully Buffered DIMM is which was delivered with all the 9th Gen Dell servers and should be compatible across all revisions of 2900. What is the size of the memory you are looking for? In my view, that the maximum RAM capacity on the 2900 III server is 48 GB.

    I hope this answers you questions.

  • PowerEdge 2900 III support xeon x 5470?

    I was wondering if someone can clear this up for me. Can the poweredge 2900 III helps the xeon x 5470 cpu?

    The confusion around this for me comes from the dell documentation, I found on the poweredge 2900 III server that has she supports the xeon 5400 BUT at 3.16 GHz cpu series. The xeon x 5470 3.33 GHz is rated.

    However I saw many times poweredge 2900 III running of x 5470. a quick search pulled up from a few ebay listings for this server with the same cpu. Could there was an update of the bios that allowed support for this processor, and dell documentation is just outdated?

    So, due to conflicting information I see before I go and spend money, can anyone provide me a concrete answer on the question of whether I can run this processor or not?

    Expired documents. The data sheet is dated September 11, 2007, the X 5470 was released in 2008. So there was a BIOS update to add support OR it has not been listed everything simply because it did not yet exist.

    1. There are systems with this CPU.

    2. they are sold by dealers known for this computer.

    It can work in an III, and I recommend the update of the BIOS (and other firmware system) at the latest prior to installation.

  • PowerEdge 2900 III RAID 10?

    Hello

    I have a server PowerEdge 2900 III with SAS 6/iR integrated (Embedded) and SATAu with two bays of 4 HDD int each Bay.

    I would like to install 8 1 TB SATA HARD drive each and make a RAID 10 for all HDD 8 configuration in total, I will have a 4 TB storage.

    Is it possible to do so as PERC 6/iR has two separate connectors?

    Thank you

    AG

    First, it is important to know what controller you have.

    SAS 6/iR can RAID 0 and 1 (and JBOD).

    The PERC 6 / i can do what you are wanting.

    RAID can be configured through the connectors without any problem.

  • PowerEdge 2900 III Aftermarket HDD Upgrade

    Anyone had any experience using the original hot swappable SATA drive door with spare SATA drives?

    I'm looking to get a lot of space on the disk from the cheapest possible. Thanks to Dell accessories, a 160 GB SATA replaceable hot Cust. Kit is listed at $65.99. What I want to do is to replace the 160 GB drive with say a Western Digital 500 GB RE2 SATA drive or more. It's far cheaper, and then you place your order the bigger disks directly from dell with the server or after the initial purchase by parts and accessories.

    All disks in the system will be configured with RAID 1 via the Perc 6 / i

    If one has any comments, please respond!


  • PowerEdge 2900 & RHEL5 - OMSA complain the warning of storage component.

    I recently installed RHEL5 on our new PowerEdge 2900 III (int. Perc6i controller).  After all the updates, I get this warning in the OMSA:

    The current version of the driver 00.00.03.10 (megaraid_sas) is older than
    required driver version 00.00.03.13 (megaraid_sas) for a controller
    model 0x1F0C: 1 controller (PERC 6 / i integrated)

    Now, I downloaded the 00.00.03.16 version of the megaraid_sas driver, and when I followed the instructions of the .tgz update I get:

    [root@zimbra PERC6i Driver] # rpm - ivh dkms - 2.0.13 - 1.noarch.rpm

    Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

  • PowerEdge 2900 switchable hot

    I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 running windows Small Business SERVER 2003, we will be taken out of service soon, but we just had a departure by car to go bad - seeing yellow flashes and error on LCD server message: 'E1 H10 HDD1 fault.'   daily backups and weekly regular running properly because of corruption, then I copied the table as a security measure.  I bought a new drive identical to the 4 existing disks that are configured as Raid 1.

    The drive is a:
    341-4430 750 GB 7.2 K rpm Universal SATA 3Gbps 3.5-inch hard drive

    The raid controller is:
    341-5754 1 SAS/SATA embedded RAID 1, PERC 6 / i integrated/SAS6/iR

    Can I leave the server running and pull the wrong drive and drag the new, without running applications before or after this procedure, and will be automatically rebuild the raid?

    I know that I need to replace the server.  But my immediate need is to solve the problem of bad disc, and I'd appreciate any advice or a link to the instructions in this procedure.

    We are a small non-profit and have none of the staff and no budget assistance, or I would have called in help.

    Thank you

    It is a Dell application that will interface directly with the hardware. It must be installed on any Dell server that you manage. On the downloads page, it is called OpenManage Server Administrator - Managed Node, use the 32-bit version.

  • PowerEdge 2950 III w / Server2008 64 bit: cannot activate TOE

    I recently purchased a PowerEdge 2950 III with standard options, which includes a double NetXtreme II Broadcom nic with TOE capabilities. Due to some communication problems, it was delivered without active TOE and the TOE installed key. I installed Windows Server 2008 64 bit on it.

    After some time Dell send me a TOE key, and I off the server and installed it.

    In the BIOS, it now says "able TOE." In the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator it said ' able TOE: available 'and' enable TOE: 'Yes. But in the Broadcom Control Suite to unload his abilities he doesn't list that the LSO and CO, PINCH.

    I have tried several things:

    -J' ran "netsh interface tcp > set global chimney = on" to activate TOE

    -disabled the Windows Firewall

    -remove the Broadcom drivers and reinstall them (the more recent on the Dell site)

    -installed the SNMP functionality

    But I can't seem to make it work.

    TOE benefits to the whole Server 2008? If so, what am I doing wrong?

  • POWEREDGE 2900 RAID 10 HAS NOT DEGRADED

    Hello

    I have a Setup raid 10 on a server PowerEdge 2900, Perc 6 / i. There are 4 250 GB drives, set up as a Raid 10. A drive has failed. I tried the disk with a hot swap size even more recent. The server crashed and restarted, Post message showed during initialization F/W and writing degraded disk virtual, but restarting Ok. When I OpenManage it shows degraded and only shows 3 locations of the physical drive page. New drive is orange flashing on the right indicator light.

    Can someone help me with the permutation of the reader?

    Thank you!

    Madmin46
    Is that possible given that the new drive is not a certified dell disk that would cause problems?

    Yes, and that's the most likely cause. Some versions of the AR4 are posted on several PERC controllers. Many times non-certified readers will work fine, but when certified and non-certified are run together, there are often questions... thinking that it is a American, South African and a Pilipino all English - speaking it may be difficult for the three to communicate because they all talk about the different versions of the same language, and language gap can cause problems on a controller which the tolerance of error and delay (patience) are thin.

  • Looking for documentation PowerEdge 2950 III

    The material does not match looking for PowerEdge 2950 III manual/documentation material... the documentation associated with the service tag.  Documentation that seems to be the 2950 base while the material is the version III with the - 7 marked 0 on the front disc.  More useful would be linked to the set, but if not, then at least the hardware manual.

    I realize this is an older system... but I need to be able to show what parts I might need to get from Dell to keep it operational.

    Sorry if this isn't the right forum to ask.  Thank you.

    This is the link to the manuals PE2950 etc.  If there is a different version, I can't find it.
