Specifications of hardware OK?

Hello

After trying to run ESXi on my laptop computer in a virtual machine and not having a lot of success, I wanted to just take the plunge and put little money down to get a half decent machine that will help me on my way to a virtual laboratory.

I've seen a HP machine with the below form.

-Processor Intel Core i7-2600 3.4GHz 2nd generation
-8 GB memory DDR3 (PC3-10600)
-HDD 500 GB-7200 RPM

I want to run to at least

-Cisco Unified Callmanager 7.1

-Cisco Unity Connection 7

Then finally add

-Cisco Unified touch Center

-Microsoft Windows Server 2008 - Active Directory

I just want to know if the above machine would be a good starting point, and then look at level looks like RAM or hard drive.

I agree mcowger and thank you for the reply, definiately for a complete site deployment would not a production server. However, for the moment, I'm looking to have this as a platform for reading/laboratory.

Oh.  For a lab - absolutely.  It is very good.

If I'm spreading the budget - just to know the type of material I want to start, which would be a good platform to start (maybe on shelf towers etc.)? I saw HP Pavilion HPE h8-1070... would it be an acceptable point to start?

The first thing to check is compatibility - I would recommend looking at material from class server used on craigslist or ebay - a lot less trouble comatability forst.

Something like that would be an excellent choice:

  • Pavilion 500-130ed documentation, specifically audio hardware

    Hi all

    I own a HP Pavilion 500-130ed (since Dec 2013), with Windows 8, 64-bit.

    So far, I am very satisfied with its performance, but the documentation (on the material of the HP Pavilion 500-130ed) is rather sparse. The specifications refer to 'High Definition Audio 7.1'.

    What I don't understand is how can I use 6 channels, since there are IN, a MIC IN and LINE OUTPUT (a blue, green and pink connector) on the back and a microphone and speakers to the front connector.

    Anyone can shed light on this issue? Is it possible to actually make the 7.1 configuration possible? (For people who are more technical than me; The PNP device ID is HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_111D & DEV_76F3 & SUBSYS_103C2AF7 & REV_1002\4 & 2DCAAFFF & 0 & 0001)

    See you soon,.

    Sando, welcome to the forum.

    According to the specifications, the built-in sound is 5.1.  Look at the section titled "Sound/Audio".  Here's a guide to help you with your problem.  It's for Win 7, but I do not think that the BONE has made a difference.  Read it carefully and it should help you.

  • Uninstall and reinstall the Bootcamp files in the partition Windows 10?

    Lonely T had a suggestion regarding a previous post, but I had already looked at the post, he suggests consulting, with no luck.  No further response.  So I try another tack before coming back to Win 7.

    I upgraded partition Win 7 Ultimate to win 10 Pro 10 days and installed drivers 8.1 on Macbook Pro 17 "early 2011."  Apple does not support Windows 10 on these machines, although many noted that they have been able to install it using 8.1 drivers - as I did.  Everything works in win 10 EXCEPT:

    1. by logging into my account, sometimes, the computer crashes because it loads the thumbnail of the bootcamp Control Panel, which gives a BAD_POOL_HEADER BlueScreen, after what win 10 restarts.  It is possible, of course, that the problem lies in fact in the attempt to load another program.  However:

    2. when the loading of the miniature of Bootcamp not breaks down the computer, trying to get access to the control panel often crash to give up - again - the BAD_POOL_HEADER blue, followed by an automatic restart screen.

    All drivers are 'best machine', etc.  Memory - 16 GB - is fine and has no problem under Win 7 or OS X 10.11.3.

    Version of Bootcamp 3.0, which is what has worked with Win 7, although there are newer versions.

    I guess this isn't a common problem.  Any suggestions on what can be done before I abandon Win 10 and return to Win 7?  I am even willing to uninstall Bootcamp in the Win 10 score and try to load it using the automatic installation of 8.1, but not heard about someone who has tried this and had success with it.  (I love 10 and am tired of being told in Win 7 that I should update to Win10.  "But I don't want to waste time with nuisance Bootcamp crashes at 10).

    The Intel GPU drivers seem to cause a lot of grief on Mac before 2012, when executing W10.

    1. can you check if the Windows installation is EFI (use msinfo32 and look at the Mode of BIOS).

    2 W7 is usually installed using old BIOS/MBR on Mac 2011. The hardware exposed through the layer of CSM-BIOS is not the same as that exposed through EFI. For example, the layer CSM cache the Intel GPU integrated. You can check what cards you currently have in the Device Manager? Please also check devices hidden using view-> the box show hidden devices.

    3 W7/W8.1 drivers are not different from the BC driver packages 5.x series.

    4 W10 has a more rigorous application of the drivers and does not load the unsigned drivers that have been allowed in W7/W8.1 5.x series.

    5. the W8.1/W10 BC6 drivers series is necessary.

    6. you need not install drivers BC6 and he just use generic Windows drivers, but some of your specific Apple hardware does not work the same OS X and W10 using this approach.

    7. most of the users have installed individual pilots as a solution, in some cases using administrator rights and compatibility mode.

    8 event Viewer would be the best place to search for the driver that caused the exception.

    9 automatic update of Windows seems to be broken in W10. It installs drivers that are appropriate for your hardware, but these accidents cause drivers, reboot, BSOD, etc..

  • F004dx Pavilion 17: Pavilion 17 AMD Radeon HD graphics card Windows 7 drivers f004dx

    I'm downgrading my Pavilion 17 f004dx to Windows 7 Pro.  I have the Pro Windows 7 64 bit responsible and all windows updates for it so far.  I'm having a problem with the installation of the video drivers.  For some reason any the AMD Catalyst video driver utility does not see the specific video hardware video card model AMD Radeon HD graphics on the display card.  Windows 7 Pro keeps defining it as the "Standard VGA graphics card".  Does anyone know what it should be showing under display adapters in Device Manager.

    Is there anything I can do to get Windows 7 Pro 64 bit to recognize the graphics card AMD Radeon HD, so the AMD Catalyst software will be able to load the correct video drivers?

    Please advise...

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    I think I finally found a driver that works.

    None of the other drivers that we tried was the hardware ID for the GPU to your laptop, but this one doesn't.

    This package provides the AMD graphics driver high definition (HD) and Catalyst Control Center for models of laptop computers that are running an operating system supported. For laptops equipped with switchable graphics modes, this package contains the drivers for the two graphics (GPU). Switchable graphics allow users to switch between a graphical power mode (normally used under the power of the battery) and a mode of graphics performance. If the video output high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.

    File name: sp69161.exe

    You may need to install the driver manually if auto installation does not work.

  • Re: Laptop model not found

    [This | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=102277#102277] is what happened to me.

    So, I contacted the ASP in the Netherlands and the people he said that they could not fill my request because my Toshiba Satellite A100 model has not been done here. They suggested I contact the ASP in Indonesia.

    I contacted the ASP in Indonesia only to hear the same answer.

    I looked for the model on the official site, but I can't find the model.

    If I'm screwed? :(

    Oh, for the information, my laptop is Toshiba Satellite A100 with model PSAA8H 06500 M.

    Hello

    It's a pretty bad situation. ASP in Nederland is right. They can order materials of recovery for the own country only.
    Recovery media are product specific (different hardware configuration) and you may not use any recovery media for portable model A100. Thus, it is important to control the media in the country of purchase. The funny thing is that Googling autour, I cannot find any info on your model of laptop.

    I recommend you use the CD of Microsoft facilities for the installation of Windows XP Home edition. If the hardware configuration is known to you, I hope you will be able to find the drivers for your laptop model. Maybe you can use the drivers from http://pc.toshiba-asia.com/support/downloads/index.jsp

    Sorry, but buddy is a rather complicated question.

    The L30 is one of the series and it contains several submodels as L30 - 10Y, for example.

  • How to calculate energy consumption?

    Hello

    I am of MMU. I have try several ways to calculate energy consumption. What is the most accurate way to calculate the power and energy. ?

    Hello

    Really depends on a number of factor. What specific DAQ hardware do you use? You have current transducers available? You want to only calculate for real or are you include reactive?

    To start, you can use the input voltage, then the formula P = (V ^ 2) / R to get the wattage. Multiply the length in seconds (timed software) to get energy in Joule.
