• 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.

  Hello

  If it fails the S.M.A.R.T. test, replace the hard drive.

  https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

  S.M.A.R.T. (-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology; often written as SMART) is a monitoring system included in computer hard drives (HDD) and the SSD drives (SSD)^[1] that detects and reports on various indicators of reliability of the car, in order to allow the anticipation of hardware failures.

  When the S.M.A.R.T. data indicate a failure of the imminent drive possible, software running on the host system can notify the user so stored data can be copied onto another storage device, prevent data loss, and the failed drive can be replaced.

  See you soon.

  Dell Inspiron 15 HDD 2000-01 42 error code

  A few weeks ago, my laptop was working fine but the next day, my laptop wouldn't pass the Dell logo when turned on. I ran diagnostics on it and gave me the following results:

  Test results: Fail

  Error code: 2000-01 42

  I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me exactly the problem with the HARD drive, I need to replace, or there may be a wiring problem?

  Thank you.

  Error code 2000-0142 indicates a failing hard drive / has failed, you can try to remove and reinstall the hard drive, and then re-run the diagnostic tests and see if you receive the same error.

  If the same error is received, the hard drive has failed and you need to replace it, followed by reinstalling windows, then loading the drivers and applications.

• Dell Diagnostics Audio tests

  Dell laptops computers have various diagnostic tools available. Those listed here are those most appropriate to help separate hardware of software audio problems. A few other Dell diagnostic tools are not included here because they use Windows and related audio driver to test the audio, and so they cannot separate hardware issues problems with the software.

  l. pre-seed evaluation Tests

  Dell 32 - bit Diagnostics.

  LLL. system recovery

  LV. compare manufacturer & native driver

  V. Tools of diagnosis Alienware

  l. the pre-boot (PSA or ePSA) testing
  

  It is a set of diagnostics based on ROM, residing in a BIOS chip on the motherboard. The function audio main tests to tell you whether your speakers are working or not. In a case where there is no sound from the speakers, but there is no audio through the headphone jack, you can use the test to determine whether or not the speakers are dead.

  > Re-start the computer and press the F12 key as soon as it begins to initialize. If the computer starts Windows, restart the computer and try again.

  > Select "Diagnostics" in the start menu, and then press the Enter key. The ePSA or PSA tests will be open - it depends on the model of your laptop.

  > Locate an Audio "Make Quick Check" button on the bottom right of the screen to menu main ePSA (see screen capture below). Press the button and listen to the Speaker beeps.

  > If you do not have the "Make Quick Check" Audio button then this. Start the PSA tests, and when he runs the test of the colors it will ask you if you see the color bars on the screen. Deliberately fail the test by not answering any (press key "n") instead of Yes. When you do this the PSA test emits a series of beeps. Listen to the beeps.

  > If you do not hear the beeps means that the speakers were disconnected or failed.

  > If you do not hear the tones means that the speakers are working and are connected. In this case the reason that the audio does not come through them is probably that there no detection circuit in the headphone jack. When this happens, it prevents audio activation of the plug to the speakers. The Headphone Jack FAQ contains more details about this issue.

  Here is a screen shot of the quick test Audio ePSA:

  

  If you have the old PSA to test you will be the 'quick check of Audio Perform.'

  Dell 32 - bit Diagnostics.

  It is a set of diagnostics to include with all new Dell laptops. He resided in a 32-bit of the hard drive partition, where the name. Reference includes Dell is no longer with the laptops. Its usefulness for audio was that he could separate a hardware problem to a software problem. In a case where there is no sound to both speakers and headphones, if Diagnostic Dell 32-bit audio tests fail, then audio has not, not an audio driver or configuration issue.

  1 restart the computer and press the f12 key as soon as it begins to initialize.

  2. Select "Diagnostics" in the start menu, and then press the Enter key. The computer will run tests PSA (see above) before the beginning of Dell 32-bit Diagnostics.

  3 Dell Diagnostics should open after the PSA tests, or you should see an option to open it. If you do not have the 32-bit Dell Diagnostics, then you will not see an option to run.

  4. Select 'Custom', then the audio tests. (At this point - after you open Dell Diagnostic custom - if you can't find the option to select the audio test is a symptom of an audio chip faulty.)

  5. the tests will run. There are about 6 of them for audio. If you have only one or two, it's a symptom of an audio chip that failed. Some of the tests will play a piece of instrumental music - not just the beeps and tones - and ask you if you heard.

  6 If you do not hear the music during the test, it certainly means that there is somewhere a hardware failure in the system.

  7. If you hear the audio during the test, but not when you start in Windows, which almost always * means that the material is correct, but there is a problem with the audio driver or Windows.

  8. error codes: If you answer "no" questions that ask test, test generates an error code which can indicate a technician that you answered 'no' to this question. The test usually does not pinpoit the exact component that went wrong. Before you answer "no" to a question, take note of the circumstances at that time here so that you know in general what is the error code.

  4 c 00:0619 error code - speaker could not be heard
  Error Code 1 B 63:061 B - user indicates a failure
  Error Code 1 B B 22:061 - analog sound playback - user indicates a failure
  Error Code 1 B 22:111 B - audio playback of Mono output
  Error code: 1 B 63:181 B - user indicated that they have not heard the expected result
  Error code: 1 B 22:071 B - the user's response indicated a failure (external mic test)
  Error Code 1 B 63:0268 - Codec could not generate interrupt
  Error code: 1 B 63:0667 - Codec could not generate an interruption of the game

  Exception

  There is a situation where the test will pass even if there is a hardware problem. In a case where there is no sound from the speakers, but there is no audio through the headphone jack, the impedance of the headphone detection mechanism may have failed. Dell 32-bit Diagnostics does not test this specific failure and will pass the audio material. The Headphone Jack of FAQ has more details about it.

  LLL. system recovery

  The new Dell laptops do not have the Dell 32-bit diagnostic tool. An alternative is to restore the computer to the configuration factory of origin. What worked when the laptop was new works again, at least that there was hardware failure, in order to make a recovery of the system is a diagnostic tool to separate materials of a software failure.

  1 factory Image Restore

  It is an image of the hard drive exactly as it was when the laptop has left the factory. It restores the laptop to set up factory of origin.

  Factory Image Restore for Win 7

  Factory Image Restore to Win 8

  2. system recovery media

  The first time you set up Windows, you are prompted to create a system recovery media. You can use this media to restore the computer laptop, similar to using Factory Image Restore.

  Restore from recovery to win 8 media

  3 Dell DataSafe Local Backup

  Some models use Dell DataSafe instead of Factory Image Restore.

  System recovery using Dell DataSafe 2.0

  4 Dell PC Restore

  Factory Image Restore was named "Dell PC Restore" on Dell laptops that had originally Windows XP pre-installed.

  LV. compare drivers

  If you don't have a Dell 32-bit Diagnostics, a no definitive test is to compare the audio driver from the manufacturer and the driver audio Windows native. If you have the same symptoms with two drivers, there is a strong suspicion that the problem is caused by the material.

  Open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the start search box), and then expand "Audio...". Controllers '. Locate the audio driver. It will have one of these names:

  • Realtek High Definition Audio
  • IDT High Definition Audio Codec
  • Conexant High Definition Audio
  • Conexant HD SmartAudio
  • SigmaTel High Definition Audio Codec
  • Audio device high definition

  If she is named "High definition Audio Device", then you use the native Windows driver. Download and install the driver from the manufacturer of the download page for your laptop computer on the Dell site.

  If your audio driver is one of the manufacturers, you need to remove in order to install the native driver for Windows.

  1. while still in the Device Manager, right click on the driver to open the context menu.

  2. click on "Uninstall".

  3. check the 'delete the driver for this device '. Don't skip this step.

  4 reboot the laptop. Go back to Device Manager and check the sound... Controllers. If the driver from the manufacturer is still there, repeat the procedure until it is no longer. He will be replaced by the native Windows driver named "High definition Audio Device".

  Note: to reinstall the audio driver from the manufacturer, download a new copy on the Dell site.

• 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

• PowerEdge 1900 and Poweredge 840 and NO hardware RAID SATA HD, FreeNAS with ZFS

  I searched these forums and the web in general a concise my questions answer, but nothing is done.  I just happen to find someone who is using 'old' technology and it retarget as much as you might think (I am a broke student by the way).

  I bought a Poweredge 1900 Server & server Poweredge 840 ebay about last year.  I've been busy and have yet to work with these two units.  I wanted to use the PE 1900 as a file server and then push a backup of these files on the server off site, the PE840.  I intended to buy four 1 TB or four disks SATA 2 to (WD Black or RED WD) for each system, respectively.

  I've been through a few videos on youtube the other day and discovered FreeNAS.  This seems to be a much better solution than the use of Ubuntu Server, but it also made me think about the hardware Raid with these systems.  If FreeNAS uses ZFS (software raid controller), you want to avoid a hardware raid controller.

  My current assumptions, please correct me if I'm wrong on any of the following:

  I think that each of these systems to support drives up to 2 TB?, I think that I can use the SATA drives and not SAS, four discs in each system drives.

  I believe that I can boot from USB flash drive (a quick, which I intend to install FreeNAS on which they recommend)

  I think I can connect readers to the Perc/Raid Controller controller (& just turn 'off' RAID), or simply directly on the motherboard.  (What woud be the advantages/disadvantages of the use of the card or simply by using the Council)

  I intend on working with what I have right now (cheap and available), then once I get this configuration work that I take it out of the sand/lab sandbox, upgrade the processors and ram up my budget will allow and go live with the installation program (if it is still possible)

  From now on, they are sitting in a corner, begging to consume energy, and fans of polute the soundscape with their cries (PE1900 precisely).  I know that I could pursue other options but I already these two units.

  I really want to utilze FreeNAS its serving capacity file and ZFS for its reliability.  Is it possible with this camera?, or should I junk them and move on?

  Thank you for your answer!

  I've done some research more and since FreeNAS is built off of FreeBSD supported hardware is the same.  I couldn't find a list for FreeNAS specifically so I looked to FreeBSD.  I was still confused about the material and decided to go forward with the poweredge 840, for two reaasons, there already 8 GB of ram and it is not as heavy to move on (from 1900). I shoot the raid controller (for simplicity) and I plugged in three 250 GB SATA drives and a 40 GB SSD.  I had to set the bios for the usb key is recognized and also due to adapt to be considered as a hard drive, then had to define the sequence of boot to the usb drive, acting as a hard drive.  Once all that has been said and done, I wrote my FreeNAS image on my USB and booted up.

  It took maybe 10 minutes and I was up and running (once I had configured the hardware and bios), I created a RaidZ (as proposed FreeNAS) and with my three 250 GB drives, it produced 453 GB of usable disk space.  The 40 GB SSD is used as L2ARC (from my cache of understanding), I tried the installer with and without the 40 GB SSD.  The difference was impressive, just opening the photos or streaming video on my laptop Win 8.1 (Dell 17r) is almost flawless, as if the files were stored locally.

  I was impressed by how quick and easy to use FreeNAS, simple and fast network shares can be configured with permissions that works quite simply not in less than 5 minutes.  I don't have Windows Server down, but generally configuration active directory takes a little more effort.

  I am satisfied for the moment and continues to experiment with the Poweredge 840 until I commit to a processor upgrade.  Once I acquire 16 GB memory for my Poweredge 1900 I will perform with her, as it has only 1 GB now, crazy.

  Thank you for your help.
