Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I was able to revive it, moved the secondary BMC to primary BMC again and I was able to get the UEFI flash to take through the BMC.
Its up and working, proxmox booted and we're good.
Crisis averted
I can access the IPMI / XClarity on Lenovo just fine, but its not generating any alerts. Which is silly. The power button does not shut the server off, which based on Lenovo's own documentation is because of the failure it will do that.
The only items in the thing are the ram, cpu, ssd's and...
So, here we go. In all my decades of IT and hobby work, I have never, ever destroyed hardware like this.
I dunno if this is a sign, or just the inevitable screw up long overdue.
Here's my situation:
Lenovo SR630 server, 2 Xeon 6400 series CPU's, 128GB, a handful of SSD's. Nothing fancy...
I've been on Win 11 since Day 1 release. I have had no issues outside of things like the Windows Store demanding that it constantly screw with my Radeon installations. I just gave up updated it from AMD and let the bastard do its thing, and its been less of a headache since then.
Otherwise...
I gave away my old Dell R610 to some college students about 6 months ago so they could get into IT with something to play with.
I figured the itch was gone. But I picked up a Dell R730 w/ 128gb and 2x E5-2680V4 14core/28thread, has 4 x 960GB SSD's in it.
$1400 or so, seemed to be fairly...
Is there a set markdown for items before they go extinct on the site?
Like, if you see it at 50% its probably the first markdown, because the max markdown goes up to 70%?
Do they do markdowns on set days?
If you're in the market for some NAS or Enterprise SSD's, there's a few WD Red's in 2TB and
some WD Gold's in 2TB for about 50% of market prices floating on the site.
I picked up a monitor a few days ago for $25 (just a vga for servers) and that was a welcome addition, damn kids broke my...
Debating on what direction I want to go.
Considering 2 x HP Microserver Gen10+ units running ESXI, but it appears they are rather limited @ 64GB each.
Or, just getting my big boy pants on, and just grabbing a nice 1u unit with an Epyc 7302 or 7402 and 256GB and a
shit ton of SSD's in it...
Since I just started at a place thats a Fortinet shop, that 80E is a great way for me to learn on the fly without blowing shit up.
1/2 the price of Amazon for the hardware only, the fact you get a year of Fortiguard with it, for that, is stupid, its a better deal than the 50e.
Its for my gf's son, building a PC for him for Xmas, he's on a like 3rd gen Intel laptop I scavanged together for him.
All he does is play Roblox and surf Pornhub, so that might work.
Whatcha want for it?
If you're looking for some funds to upgrade your short term choice of a 3400G.
Let me know what you have, don't need cooler, have one off a 3700x I'll be using.
