• Classified into CPU upgrade PowerEdge T320 - I was wondering if I need thermal paste for the heatsink that came with it

  Subject pretty much said it all.

  We received a CPU upgrade for our PowerEdge T320. The new processor comes with a new heat sink, and it seems that there is a thermal buffer of paste on the lower part of the radiator.

  I wonder if anyone knows if I need to or recommend that I put the extra thermal paste on the chip before mounting the radiator.

  Hello.

  The quantity of thermal paste comes with your CPU should be enough for the CPU holding it in place.

• I have to shutdown PowerEdge T320 to add more disks?

  Hello

  We have a Dell PowerEdge T320 with following Perc

  ID	0
  Name	Adapter PERC H310
  State	Loan
  Firmware version	20.12.0 - 0004
  Driver version	6.801.05.00

  Currently, the server has two drives of 1 TB on a RAID 1 virtual disk. I want to add more than 4 drives (2 TB) and create a RAID 5 with 3 disks and leave one as a spare drive. So my questions are:

  1. do I need to disable the server in order to add new readers? -the server has access area Bay front for Perc connections, which are the SATA drives.

  2. what would be the appropriate steps to set up the RAID. Can I make using Dell Open manage?

  3. do you know if the 2 TB drive, I want to use as a hot spare works also for the 1 TB RAID 1 drives?

  Thanks in advance.

  1. you should NOT turn off to add or replace the hot-swappable drives. Leave it on.

  2. Yes, use OpenManage... Select Reconfigure in the drop-down list of tasks available for RAID 1.

  3. Yes, the reader may be bigger, but not smaller. All larger than the other Member disks space will be wasted space. Then, you'll go from a 1 to a 4 TB RAID 5 RAID 1. Half of all your drives of 2 TB will be wasted.

  Another thing, you need to know is that if Windows is ALREADY installed with UEFI enabled (as opposed to the BIOS), then you can not use more than 2 TB. Windows cannot use a greater than 2 TB drive unless it's TPG, and Windows cannot start a GPT disk except if installed on UEFI system activated. Conversion to GPT is destructive, so it cannot be changed without reinstalling.

  My advice would be to set up your 4x2TB in a 4 TB RAID 6 disks - RAID 6 is a better use of a 'rescue' as a backup pending. RAID 10 would also be acceptable.

• HP 8560p laptop: hp 8560p's caddy drive upgrade hard hot swappable

  Upgrade of removable hard drive Bay is hot swappable so that I can without damaging it remove the optical drive Bay and insert the caddy upgrade hard drive, while the unit is running, i.e. without turning it off.

  It is theoretically but I hesitate. Why do you need to do this? I could check and see if the DVD drive appears in the removable hardware when you click on this icon in the lower right

  

  If it shows up here so you can stop it and I would be sure that it is OK in this case.

• Dell PowerEdge T320 PERC H710P Upgrade

  Dear support, I have a Dell PowerEdge T320 server that was purchased with a software RAID controller in S100.  I just bought a PERC H710P controller and hoped to help on the installation.  Do I need anything else to install the card as a set of cables?  I have a 8 x 3.5 "hot swappable backplane already installed with a pair of cables SAS that connect to the motherboard.  What else do I need to do this work?  I'm also not sure where the PERC H710P controller must be installed?  I can't find pictures or drawings on the Internet.

  Thank you

  Joe

  Jpmigliozzi,

  You should also order the cable (part # DJXF7) as well. This is the cable that connects the 710 in the bottom of the basket 8 x 3.5. Look at the picture below and let me know if those are the cables you already have.

  

  Let me know.

  Hello.

  Yes, the server supports 32 GB memory modules. However, due to the restrictions imposed by the population memory guidelines requiring that balanced memory channels, will need you 3 modules 32 GB and 16 GB 3 modules such as:

  A1, A2, AND A3: 32GB

• Hot-swap drive case

• The upgrade of the internal SATA HARD drive for HP Pavilion dm4

  Hello

  I have the HP dm4 - 1150 bought ea I think in December 2004.  It has intel core i5 and 500 GB of HARD drive.

  It works very well.  I ben hae wanting to upgrade the HARD disk but hard drives SATA 2.5 inches for this ability were not available.

  drives internal SATA 2.5-inch 2 TB for laptops are now available.  The OEM version seems to be available for about £80 in the United Kingdom.  Has anyone successfully updated your laptop HARD drive?  Does anyone know if I buy and install the new 2 TB SATA HDD if it works.  If not why?

  Would appreciate a response from anyone who has tried this on dm4 or similar computers HP laptop

  Thank you

  If it's the original drive it is SATA-II as SATA-III was not then invented. Confirmed here:

  http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/Eng/2879-701275.PDF

  You can replace it with a SATA-III disc without any problems. They are perfectly backwards compatible. Your motherboard is a SATA-II at best and could even be SATA - I have but I do not.

  I avoid the biggest current disks because drive manufacturers must invent new technological tricks to squeeze more and more zeros and ones in the same size box and it takes time to work on the kinks. Right now, 1 TB is the sweet spot for the readers of the laptop and 2 TB or 3 for desktop drives. Stay with a 1 TB drive 7200 rpm or still a hybrid drive of 1 TB would not a bit of extra money.

• Problem upgrading to 4K Advanced Format hard drive (Windows Update)

  I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, on a Lenovo ThinkPad W500 laptop. I am trying to upgrade my Seagate 320 GB hard drive for Western Digital WD-Blue 1 TB. The new drive has 4K (Advanced Format) sectors, as opposed to the sectors of 512 bytes, which seems to be the cause of some problems with Windows. The operating system loads, however, Windows Update will not work, and various programs give strange guests.
  The old drive was cloned to the new using Acronis True Image WD Edition. Alignment has been checked using Acronis WD Align. I clone the old drive. cleaning Windows installation is not an option.
  Microsoft has this article for what seems to be my problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982018. I have already run this file (before the cloning), but the problem remains.
  Online, I've read that it might help to install Intel RST 9.6 or later version. My Device Manager lists currently Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller (under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers); This is the version of the driver 8.9.2.1002. I tried updating the driver, but without success: I just got the message, "Windows has determined the software driver for your device is up-to-date.»

  I believe that the problem has been resolved, I downloaded Intel RST 9.6.0.1014. The latest version could not be installed on my machine and slightly older than more recent knocked out of my DVD player. Older than 9.6 had the problem with allowing a training of 4K, but 9.6 seems to have been appropriate.

• PowerEdge T320 mix RAM 2x8GB + 2x16GB

  Hello

  We have a server poweredge T320 and want to extend the existing 2x8GB memory.

  What should be the configuration as if we want to add 2x16GB?

  Thanks in advance for the help and best regards

  Tim

  Preexo,

  I guess that it is a uniprocessor configuration? If this isn't the case, then let me know.

  If it is a uniprocessor configuration, then you can put the 16 GB DIMMs in slots A1 and A2 white tabs. Then place the 8 GB DIMMs in slots A4 and A5 black tabs. In the BIOS, under the memory settings, make sure that it is set to Optimizer Mode. This will be a supported configuration, as long as they are compatible 16 GB DIMMS.

  You can find more information on the memory system here.

  Let me know how it goes.

• PowerEdge T320 / Seagate Savvio 15 k SAS hard drives

  I'm trying to improve our hard drives from 10 k to 15 k, it's a drive RAID5 4 with a H710 perc card.

  I replaced the first hard drive with a Seagate Savvio ST9300653SS disk and it worked great, but every time I try to substitute a different drive it always comes back with a predictive drive error, that happened on 4 different new readers.  The only difference seems to be the revision of the firmware on the drives, he who works is YS07 and all failed drives are 0004. I have improved the perc card later. I was wondering if anyone has seen elsewhere, or have any suggestions?  You want to understand this in the case of a drive failure.  Thanks in advance

• Synchronize the PowerEdge T320 SATA 3GBPs single speed

  Hi, I have a week old T320 with controller RAID H310 delivered with 2 x 1 TB SATA disks replaceable hot (s.3 - Reference Dell Constellation: 0T4XXN, Seagate ST100NM0033).

  The sync rate max - as stated in the BIOS H310 and the lifecycle of the controller is 3Gbps. The RAID H310 map is a map of 6 GB/s that came out in recent years and are these disks SATA 6 GB/s (according to the data sheet of the Seagate)

  I talked to Dell 'support', and they said that they had no speed specified in the documentation of the disc, so they did not know (!).

  Dell is still actually delivered 3GBPs readers - i.e. special gradient firmware?

  They suggested that I talk to sales to change the drives I - but what for? SAS would be an expensive option for sure and if 'support' don't know the specs of their own parties what is sales are going to do.

  Any ideas?

  For anyone interested, I was correct - Dell hinder their SATA 6GBPs drives up to 3GBPS, and have done since 2009. Apparently, it's a deliberate policy, as they had problems with some servers at the time using specifications SATA III-, but its silly to keep this policy more than 5 years later.

  If no server generation 12 - e.g. T320 - don't comes with disks SATA 6GBPs despite the fact that the 'same' exact drive model bought because say OEM Seagate s.3 works thankfully to 6 Gbps. Dell simply artificially degraded performance in their firmware.

  With gen 13 servers there is now a * choice * SATA speed - but why?, why same still power SATA II drives to a new server? -at least I know now what is the question.
