(Redirect) Upgrade Dell 8700 to mirror RAID

I recently bought a new 8700 Dell with 8 GB memory DDR3, a 1 TB HARD drive, windows 7 and office 2013.

I would like to add a HARD drive then, identical and run mirrored RAID 1.  I think I have install the player, change the type of HDD in RAID in the BIOS and build the table with technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology.

I need to do that without a system of resettlement.  Is this possible?

  • Reference Dell 8700 and 460 Watt power supply: card of the highest Performance NVIDIA supported by Dell?

    What is the highest performance NVIDIA supported by Dell video card that you can put in a Dell 8700 using the stock 460 watt power supply? I put in a Geforce GT 640 in my 8700 for now but later want to upgrade without messing around with the upgrade of the power supply.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    'Officially', with the stock power supply, the GTX960 is the highest card, you can keep on XPS8700, 400W is enough for this card (will get mine installed tomorrow... MSI GTX960 games 4 GB).

    BUT, some people installed the GTX970, as well as a few model required PSU 500W min.

    It is the hope to allow you to take the "risk" or not.

    Remember to update your BIOS, first.

    Now, my understanding is that when the replacement of the most important identifier is the part number HMT351U6CFR8C-PB. Just do a search on this part number and you should be able to find the exact match of RAM, right?

    But what is not clear to me, is how do you find a REPLACEMENT RAM? Can I run DDR4? If I can run 1600 MHz or faster in this motherboard? What is the schedule?  Clock? This is where I get confused.

    In addition, I will not notice even a speed increase?

  • (Redirected) For Dell Dimension 5150 Windows 10 upgrade: "there are no supported network devices.

    Hello world

    I have run the applet get Windows 10 and get the message: "there are no supported network devices.

    I use the router directly from the ethernet port, so it seems that the Dell 5150 driver for this is not Windows compatible 10, which is disappointing.

    Does anyone have a solution to this, or I'll have to just buying another cheap network card?

  • How to upgrade readers in my H200 RAID of larger size and SATA to SAS

    We are upgrading hard drives in our Dell Poweredge T110, equipped with a PERC-H200A and two in RAID 1 TB mirrored SATA drives. We run the Dell T110 of ESXi 5.1 version and a single Windows Server Essentials 2012 VM.

    We want to double our capacity of hard disk and the Support of Dell sold us 2 x 342-1020 (2 TB 7.2 K NL SAS, 6 G, 3.5, CB, CK) readers.

    What is the easiest way to replace the existing SATA disks in the RAID with these new disks in the same configuration and EXSi / VM / OS?

    The controller manages RAID creating the new RAID and copy the data through somehow?
    I add the new disks in a second DiskVolume and build a second (SAS) RAID and then somehow to clone or copy the original (SATA) RAID to the new then pass the boot device to the new (SAS) RAID?

    Thank you
    Dan

    It is a different scenario than what addresses this thread, but to answer your question: Yes, you can remove a 1 TB SAS drive and replace it with another drive SAS to rebuild.

  • Video card and power supply upgrade - XPS 8700 (mid-2013)

    Hello

    I was considering upgrading my video card in my 8700 XPS to an AMD R9 270 to an AMD R9 290.

    I was wondering weather the power would be able to take it.

    It's a 460W power supply which I don't think will be able to manage an AMD R9 290 so I was also wondering if he could not do, where can I get a more powerful power supply? I know where to buy a lot, but I don't know if Dell, you have specific feeds of size to fit the case.

    Is it OK to buy a market after we'll tell power 650W from any manufacturer or should I buy a specific for the case.

    Thank you.

    At the very least, get a 750w power supply. This one has been reported to adapt.

  • Reference Dell MD3000i add secondary RAID controller

    Service number: ADMIN NOTE: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >

    Right: OQ

    Service request: ADMIN NOTE: application number withdrawn by the service privacy policy >

    I have a MD300i in the operation that runs in mode simplex with a controller.  I would like to add a second controller and change the duplex mode for redundancy configuration, and I don't know how to properly go to this topic.    I found some documents that says to slide partially the 2nd controller and run a SMcli command to switch to the duplex mode, followed by:

    ' Add a new connection from management to the MDSM with the following command:

    SMcli 192.168.128.102-c ' setting ethernetPort [1] ipAddress = 10.37.121.54.

    gatewayIPAddress 10.37.112.1 = subnetMask = 255.255.240.0 ";

    Where the address IP 192.168.128.102 is the current IP address of the new controller, and 10.37.121.54 is the

    desired address.

    What happens if I do not know the address on the new controller?

    I would be grateful any documentation or the help that could lead me to my solution.  Thank you for your time.
