Workstation Dell Precision 490 and Sapphire HD6870?

I'm looking to run a Sapphire ATI HD6870 1 GB graphics card in my workstation 490.

I make any changes to make it work correctly? (A new power supply or whatever it is?).

I'm a Workstation 490 for fairly cheap from a friend and want to make a model of 'light' game and seeks to get this video card...

Thank you!

P.s. If it works can not anyone suggest some decent modern maps which may be able to support the game? (My current computer gets 5-6 FPS in SWtOr, I try to do a lot better)

It should work fine.  It would seem that you have a 750 Watt power supply that is more than enough.  Just make sure you have two PCIe 6-pin power cable for the card.  I have a Sapphire HD 6870 myself and I love it.

    Hello!

    I want to upgrade my workstation Dell to be able to use 5 PP with HD images.

    First: I know the motherboard has a PCI x express slot 16 but not a PCI express 2, I'll be able to install a GTX 470

    If the answer to the first is NOT, assuming that I have currently have a Nvidia FX 550 will be increased aid memory, if so up to what size.

  • Dell Precision 490 - Installer reboots after loading install.tgz

    Heya,

    I'm trying to install VMWare ESXi Update 1 4.0 on a Dell Precision 490 workstation. (Yes, not on HCL, I think).

    In any case, I boot on the CD, and it proceeds along until the "Loading image.tgz" Stadium, after which it restarts without delay.

    I took a video of the process, and in the last screen, just before the restart, he says:

    What you use for storage in the PWS490? What the rest of the specification of it (processors, amount of RAM, etc.)? Have you tried to install ESXi on a USB key (a device 2 GB +, SanDisk Cruzer work)?

  • Dell Precision 390 and Windows 7 64 bit driver support

    We have a Dell Precision 390 and want to pass this to a Windows 7 64-bit operating system.  Several months ago, I noticed driver support for Windows 7 64-bit for the Dell Precision 390 model but pilot at the moment the site and downloads not support all these drivers for Windows 7.  It seems that the support has been removed.  At best, it supports only Windows Vista 64-bit.  Can someone explain why there is no support driver for Dell Precision 390 for the 64-bit Windows 7 platform?

    Tony

    I have a Dell Precision 390 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit loaded just fine and it is running.

    It is strongly suggested that you do a clean install.

    So I wiped my HD (after backing up personal files). Don't come to format your drive, I mean totally wipe it.

    Automatic updates will install the drivers you need for any connected device or visit the manufacturers for your drivers.

    So in short, "Don't sweat it".

    Go ahead and download this puppy goes for a few years.

  • ESXi and Dell Precision 490

    First of all, let me say that, if this isn't the right place, I'm sorry.  I have a problem with installing ESXi on a precision.  I burned the ISO several times to several different discs.  I formatted the 490 three times now with a Ministry of defence approved the method via killdisk.  I pulled my hair to Googling for an answer, but it seems to elude me.

    I'm trying to install VMware-VMvisor-Installer - 4.1.0-260247.x86_64.iso on a workstation Precision 490 with dual intel woodcrest xeon 5110 processorsand Buffered ECC memory of 4 GB and an AttachedSCSI reader series 74 GB.  I burned the ISO to a variety of different drives, including CD and DVD from three different companies.

    Whenever I have ask the system to boot from the cd or dvd, drive it starts to Dr - Dos, spits out a ton of information so fast on the screen, I can not copy everything, disables the USB keyboard and the level of A:\  I have to remove the seizure of power or press and hold the power button in order to get the machine to answer.

    I tried to disconnect the hard drive and boot from the disc, but the same thing happens.  I tried removing the HD and no cd/dvd in the drive and it fair errors by saying there is no disk.

    When I installed vmserver, I came across some problems with download it VMwares site.  After sending an email to the subject they broke the download link, I got a call from a vmware support agent who helped get a working vmware server image.  He investigated what I was doing and explained I should use esxi because it would be much better, but I was unable to get the software to install even.

    Googling has not donnГ no results that would be useful.  Most seem to point to something always on the hard drive, but the hard drive has been erased to the standards of the Ministry of defence.

    Any help or thoughts would be grateful to you.  I would like to get this machine running.  My plans (do not know if it would be useful or not) are to install Freepbx on a virtual machine and another virtual machine to use as a sandbox environment to test Linux.  The machine would be dedicated PRIMARILY to the PBX and would have the largest piece of the resources.

    Thank you for your time and your consideration.

    Kind regards.

    Type in google esxi unofficial hcl. I think it's on vmetc do not look first. Otherwise I would try to find a controller from Dell which is supported in the official HCL or not

  • Dell Precision T3500 and SPDIF Port

    Hello

    I'm in the market for a new computer because my old HP died and I really like the Dell Precision T3500. I would like to put one of my old graphics card in the new Precision T3500, a Nvidia Geforce 8500 GT because it has a HDMI port on it and I want to drive my television station. However, have sound out of the HDMI on the Geforce port, you must connect an SPDIF cable on the Geforce to the SPDIF port on the motherboard. Is my question, there a SPDIF port somewhere on the motherboard in a Precision T3500? I looked but I have never seen a list of anywhere. Thank you very much for the help!

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for looking in the Precision T3500 computer next and we hope that you don't end up buying one!

    That said, I must not be the bearer of some bad news that this system is not equipped with an SPDIF port on the motherboard. A possible solution would be to buy a sound card has a SPDIF connection and then connect the graphics card to that. Of course, it would take one of your PCI/PCI-Express slots.

    I hope that answers your questions - if there is anything else, please let me know!

  • Dell Precision m6600 and Windows 10

    Y at - there no confirmation of anyone who Windows 10 works on Precision Mobile Workstation M6600?

    There is no drivers for Windows 8.1 and I never managed to make it work properly with Windows 8.1. VMWare Workstation would crash, blue screens, etc. This is because there is no drivers for this model of Dell for Windows 8.1 released.    But will it be the same story with Windows 10?

    I can confirm that Windows 10 works on the M6600. I just upgraded my M6600 and Windows 10 in fact improved some drivers and improved my way of computer work.

    From the moment I bought my Logitech H800 headset, I couldn't match directly with the laptop through Bluetooth. The USB receiver was still necessary. As soon as I have upgraded to Windows 10 my H800 has been recognized and immediately connected!

    There are two small problems that scared me at first. WIFI or Bluetooth worked immediately after the upgrade to Windows 10. I don't know why this happened but I am simply gone network adapters and disabled, then reactivated each of them. After reactivated the WIFI started working with Bluetooth

  • We have a laptop of Dell Precision 3510 and no matter what has been done, we could not install an o/s of DVD or USB.

    Hello, we have a computer dell laptop 3510 that no matter what we tried, we were able to install the Windows 7 64-bit enterprise edition. I have worked with Dell on this same they couldn't get it to work., we are past the UEFI BIOS for Legacy and had the right to RAMA and there was the third thing that I have a hard time recalling, I think it's boot on CD, and the setting has been set successfully. We spent hours trying to do or not this result. I tried the DVD and USB, at one point, it looked as if he was going to install the o/s, but we got a box that came to ask us to search for the drivers, I could see the "C" drive and the 'X'

    He asked to load the driver, but no matter what we tried, it didn't work. Here I could get. I even ran the F6 drivers utility, and it was still a no-go.

    I had to try it with another PC, but when I went from UEFI for legacy it was as if he had no BONES at all and I had to switch back.

    There is no way that this was done to distance - it requires too much manual intervention.  I suggest you start by following the process above (or use the image below the link, but it's not going to be 7 Enterprise, but Pro).

  • Workstation Dell Precision T7400 will not power with ATI Radeon 5970 installed

    Hello

    I had my dream, the monster bi - GPU ATI Radeon 5970 video card and installed in my T7400 but the system will not start, all I get is a fast fan rotation and a kind of sounds from food, a bit like "Brrrnt, click on" led me to believe that the power supply could not handle my video card.

    The video card requires an 8pin and 6-pin power plug. When I plug the 8-pin and 6-pin and turn on the computer, is a no-go as shown above. When only the power plug 6-pin I plugged the PC sounds like it will start, the power of fans but no display as I expect.

    I tried this video card into the two PCI-Express slots with the same failure as a result. The computer works fine with the Nvidia Quadro 3700 in it... using a 6 power connector pins.

    I got the ATI Radeon HD 5970 video card in a store of the local computer and it had tested ($15) because I didn't test it in a spare computer and video card passed with flying colors...

    That's why I thought my 1000 Watt power supply was a problem, so as a bet, I ordered a replacement off eBay and received a sweater to work more the wiring harness and completely replaced the two who has a job to say the least! Have you tried to replace the wire bundle? a lot of work...

    I got it all back together, crossed my fingers and prayed and tried again and the same thing... NO LUCK... I put the graphic card Nvidia Quadro 3700 back in and the system of power like a charm.

    What on earth could it be the cause for it? I REALLY want to get this video card works in this system.

    I even tried a bios update and carefully watched the card mother and everything that I could to see if there's... nothing exploded capacitors...

    Please HELP - I want to get my game...

    Wesley

    I think I found the solution and I would like to mention it here to help others if they get him...

    A: the power of Dell for the T7400 was designed to produce five rails 12 volts @ 18 AMPS each and the video card requires approximately 45 to 50 amps to work properly. Video cables (one with a 8 pin) and 6-pin on the harness even seems to only provide amps 18 or more and the computer will not power because power protection circuit sees too many amps being requested by a 'rail' and turns off immediately...

    I went to electronics of FRY in San Jose and bought a few cards that helped divide the current between different sources, such as the cables of the hard drive and video.

    B: I have a small battery backup power unit and my T7400 was plugged into the saved game... When I got the video card to work, he could make a beep loud and after minutes cutting my T7400 due to the mainstream power support... I plugged the computer into a 'surge protector' but not battery backed up to the slot and since then had no problems...

    Now after several tests including FurMark, my graphics card stress works very well in this system... This is due to an unfortunate design in the T7400 power supply and wiring... Now that I have this solved, I hope that someone else can benefit...

    Get an adapter like this one, it allows to separate the power sources for the 8 power connector pin and use the PIN 6 original which is connected to the Dell printer condition 8 pin adapter, for the 6-pin slot... hope that makes sense... by trial and error, you got it right!

  • This card will suit my Precision 490 workstation?

    First of all, I want to thank Hunter for this thread and JMichael (and all) for reactions/answers interesting and very informative!

    I bought a refurbished Dell Precision 490 work coming arrived today. (yay!) The one I bought has the following specifications:

    • Dell Precision 490 workstation cases
    • Card mother Dell
    • Two processors dual-core Intel Xeon 2.0 GHz each for Total of 4 units of execution
    • 500 GB SATA hard drive
    • ATI FireGL V3350 video card with DVI output double
    • 750 watts power

    I bought (after consultation with Tiger Direct) from NewEgg.com (renovated) graphics card include:

     01 G-P3-1371-RX of EVGA GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1 GB 256 - bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x 16 HDCP Ready SLI Support video card

    In the specifications of the card it says that it is "double slot" However, the specs on the 490 show that it has a PCI-e 2.0 x 16 slot. The guys from Tiger Direct (after looking at the specs for the 490) said he would do. So my question is - is this the case? (no pun intended... well, maybe a little )

    In addition, given that the map is a refurb, it comes not with cables or CDs with drivers. I found the article on EVGA website and saw that he (originally) comes with two cables for the power - it looks like two cables of 6 pin Molex (3rd picture from the left row, at the top), it also says:

    Requirements
    At least a 450 Watt power supply.
    (Recommended minimum power supply + 12 volt current rating of 24 amperes).
    Two dongles available power of PCI-E 6 pin

    And people to revisit the issue on NewEgg.com said that they had to order power cables separated - then... I ordered two of these. Those who will work with the Precision 490 and this card?

    Additional information: the 490 I bought has the following:

    • 2 slot PCI-e x 8 wired as x 4
    • 1 PCI - e x 16 graphics slot
    • 2 slots for 64-bit / 100 MHz PCI - X with support for 3.3V or universal cards
    • 1 slot PCI 32-bit / 33 Mhz

    I really am crossing fingers and toes that they will work together, because even if I don't play (except SolSuite Solitaire lol) I have do many 3d work in 3dsMax, (CUDA is so extremely important!), Daz3d and also a lot of work in the Adobe CS5 programs, so I had to switch to the Precision 490 workstation (am also installation of 8 GB of RAM (4 x 2 GB each) for a total of 10) GB of RAM. Hoping it will be a monster and my models will look stunning in my pictures!

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Given that the card mother a 490, 3 PCI-E slots with the 16 X being in the Center, I would say that Yes it will fit in the slot.

    If it fits the length wise or past the heat sinks I have no idea.

  • Dell Precision 690 workstation several hard drives

    I have a Dell Precision 690 and I am trying to connect the hard drives in the right order. The documentation says they must go into the HARD drive marked locations on the motherboard, but they do not work. The only slots that work are the SATA slots. I tested five SATA drives but I can only get three to work on three SATA slots instead of four locations of HARD drive and slot extra SATA as the book said to do.

    I tried which helps the controller under the BIOS: has no significance if it is enabled or disabled. I determined that AHCI is unable to be activated, it must be ATA.

    In the end, I need to have five total drives. Four in the slots in the HARD drive and the other in the SATA slot. (Which will be for operating system 1 SATA and SAS RAID 4). I realize that the HDD_0, 1, 2, 3 locations are to use SAS/SATA but I can't take too much work.

    In addition, I don't ' know if this is important or not, but he has Windows XP Professional x 64. BIOS A05 and I know an update is A08, I did do that yet though.

    Anywhere I can find that material assistance would be much appreciated.

    -E.Avalon (help).

    Yes, there are three ports labeled SATA (0,1,2) and four ports labeled as HARD drive (0,1,2,3). The manual says to connect hard drives in HARD drive ports, then in the SATA ports. The first two SATA ports are for additional optical drives and the last port is used for a fifth hard drive.

    I got in touch with several people in technical assistance from Dell and eventually find the right driver to install.

    Because I don't have the OEM disc that came with the computer, I was doing a new installation of a Windows disc. I needed F6 (third party drivers) to activate the HARD disk ports until the installation has taken place. (And honestly I don't remember what the file was immediately.)

    The AHCI could not be activated because the discs I have are Serial ATA disks and in the BIOS, there is a choice between ATA and AHCI.

    The problem is solved and I feel like I could do a test on this computer and become a technician for her.
