    Thank you
    -Said

    Hello Saeed

    The SATA drive bigger than we sell to the C6100 2 TB, but we sell Nearline SAS up to 4 TB of the C6100. I see no reason for a SATA drive more 2 TB should not operate.

    Thank you

  • Dell PowerEdge T110 II add on the video graphics card that works

    The system configuration:
    Dell PowerEdge T110 II
    BIOS 2.8.0
    RAM 2x8GB

    For many reasons (for example feeding bus PCI), it is difficult to install a Dell PowerEdge T110 II graphics card.  The ATI Radeon HD 5450 is a good choice for the Dell PowerEdge T110 II because if its (approximately 10W) low energy consumption.

    After trying several HD 5450 (listed below), a graphics card that works is a "VisionTek Radeon HD 5450 - graphics card - Radeon HD 5450 - 2 GB memory DDR3 - PCI Express 2.1 x 16'.

    Edit: Thanks to paikat for the following references, (see his assignment for the links, where to buy)...
    VisionTek manufacturer: 900356
    Reference Dell: A6173020

    This card works when the monitor is connected to the VGA/D-SUB/DB15 connector. I wasn't looking to connect to HDMI or DVI connectors.

    After you install this graphics card, passed the BIOS Setup:
    Integrated Devices > integrated video controller: enabled

    by saying:
    Integrated Devices > integrated video controller: Standard

    and allowed to move from "Standard" to "Distributed" so it now says:
    Integrated Devices > integrated video controller: distributed

    Note: Install the card with the monitor connected to the integrated video port / edge, change the BIOS to Distributed settings, restart the computer and then connect the monitor to the Discrete / distributed / video port to Add on.

    Here are the identifiers on the "VisionTek Radeon HD 5450 - graphics card - Radeon HD 5450 - 2 GB memory DDR3 - PCI Express 2.1 x 16'

    54502GBPC
    VT 5450 PCIe 2GB V/D/H
    VT-400746PC
    PCB #R81KLD-PJ3Z
    R71KLD
    R81KLD
    Version: 1.0
    G0850000-0351L002739CZA-0087
    SH6 94V-0
    E248779

    Here are some pictures of the 5450 VT from DELL:

    Other video cards that have been tested and work well in T110 II are:

    * XFX Radeon HD 5450 1 GB GDDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI Low Profile PCI-Express graphics AMD card HD545XZQH2; HD-545 X-ZQH2
    Note there is another version of this card is ONXFX1PLS2 who has not tested.

    * EX-PX610GT-video JATON GeForce GT 610 2 GB 128 - Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x 16 HDCP ready low profile ready card video

    * Reference DELL SOUND H545H1G Radeon HD 5450 (Cedar) 1 GB memory DDR3 64 bit PCI Express 2.1 x 16

    I hope this can help others avoid the frustration when you try to install a video card in a Dell PowerEdge T110 II.

    SR2002
    I have read this thread and seen the suggestion of VisionTek, it also works with the card mother E3-1230V2?

    My guess is the Dell PowerEdge T110 II uses the same motherboard for various configurations of CPU, but this is only a guess.

    SR2002
    Also, are there better options eventually with the support of 12 DDR5 and directx?

    None that I know, but I've only tried a few cards. Please let us know if you find cards better than the VisionTek 900356

    SR2002
    I saw a thread suggesting ASUS GTX650-E-2GD5, someone at - he of the inputs on this card?

    I tried a GeForce GT 610 2 GB and it did not work.  Check the use of the GTX650-E-2GD5 (DPT) power and make sure that it is less than 25 watts (see below)

    Quick notes:

    1. the location of PCIe x 16 is actually a "full-size x 8 slot" (also known as an x 16 slot / x 8) and the video card needs to work in this type of accommodation.

    2. video card power (TDP) is a limiting factor. Technical guide Dell says "the system supports a maximum power of 25 W for all four cards PCIe.»  and said Dell owner's manual "ATTENTION: to ensure correct cooling, not more than two cards of four extension may have more than 15 W power consumption (maximum 25 W each), not to mention the integrated storage controller card."

    3 install the card with the monitor connected to the integrated video port / edge, change the built-in BIOS devices > on-board video controller 'Activated' / 'Standard' to 'Distributed', restart the computer and then connect the monitor to the Discrete / distributed / video port to Add on.

  • Is it possible to Flash a BIOS SC8000 Compellent to make a Dell Poweredge R720 BIOS?

    Is it possible to Flash a BIOS SC8000 Compellent to make a Dell Poweredge R720 BIOS?

    Similar to the way you can Flash a BIOS NX3000 to make a R710.

    I tried to Flash the BIOS in several different ways, including the BACK update and addition of /forcetype, /brandname and /forceit.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello, tjkc80.

    So, the quick answer is no. You will not be able to do. In the case of NX, it is simply a R710 we have renamed, attached an MD for sold and additional storage in the form of an appliance. You are able to 'rebrand' that the return to a R710 because he was once a R710.

    In the case of the SC8000, there has never been a powerful storage controller. It cannot be "flashed" on a server, because it has never been a server. It is built and designed as a storage controller.

    I have a dell poweredge 1950 server that was given to my school and I am trying to install windows server 2003 on it, but an error saying:

    Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer.

    Make sure that the hard drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct. This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer or the installer running

    How can I fix?

    I also tried to boot Ubuntu from a usb key and that no longer works.

    I also said to update BIOS or Flash the Bios but I don't know how to do and do not know if that'll fix it.

    I want to just get to the top and running, it can be Ubuntu or windows everything is easier.

  • (Redirected) Card SCSI Dell poweredge 1951 backlane

    Hello world

    I installed and running a Dell poweredge 1950 that I use it to backup (tape) using Backup EXEC 2014. In the alley, he has an empty slot for a SCSI expansion card where a need can connect via a SCSI connection a different external tape drive. Due to the fact that the dell model is quite old, it is difficult to find a type of card.

    I found online something to my request: [View:www.amazon.co.uk/.../ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2]

    but the problem is that it has two SCSI ports and it is too big to get it. I tried to find one with a single port, but I can't seem to find it. Have you also had this problem and if so where you bought the SCSI expansion? There is also the option to purchase a SCSI cable / USB, but I don't want to go with this solution. All advice what to do or where to buy expansion card I need.

    Thanks for the tips.
