    4P E4 Build Advice

    I've just build a 4P (E5-4650 ES) using the Supermicro heatsinks (SNK-P0050AP4) and with stock fans I have 58c/59c/63c/64c on cpu1-4 respectively. The fans do make too much sound for my comfort, and I bought the Noctua NF-B9 fans to replace the original fans. Currently too hungover to do any...

    Slow 4P - E5 4650 ES

    Just finished a 4P build, using Supermicro X9QRi-F+ and E5-4650 ES (QBED). Installed Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTE and followed the Ubuntu Desktop Installation guide here on this forum. Currently I only have 4x 4GB ramchips (1600mhz/reg/ecc), while waiting for the 12 that I have in backorder to arrive...

    I have some problems with my new Xeon 4P rig, need some help?

    I guess I should make a post here myself, since I'm one of the mentioned here, and I do have a few issues with my Xeon 4P. I bought 4x E5-4650 ES C1 (QBED), but I received 4x E5-4650 C2 (SR0KJ) instead. I have a Supermicro X9QRi-F+ mounted in a Xigmatek Elysium chassis, with a Corsair AX...

    HP Epxander Crad, what is Pcie used for?

    One way to power the HP SAS Expander, is to use the small powerboard from Orbit Micro: http://www.orbitmicro.com/global/pe-2sd1-r10-p-9375.html From the HP Expander thread here on Hardforum: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1035347825&postcount=287

    Whats the difference between these two ram modules?

    My Google-fu hasn't come up with an answer, so I try my luck here: Can anyone tell me the difference between these two ram modules? Kingston KVR1333D3D4R9S/8GHB Kingston KVR1333D3D4R9S/8G I can't figure out what the HB in the first partnumber stands for, other than the spec-sheet...

    ZFS Build Check

    Only 1 sff-8087 cable, or do you have 3 more cables allready? Are you gonna connect your ssd to your motherboard, since you're only getting two sas-controllers, making you able to connect to 4 backplanes? Do you have the two reverse breakout cables needed to connect to your backplane?

    Build an Xeon Ivy Bridge ESXi server. Which mobo?

    As long as you have your data in that chassis, and keep it in your house, you dont have what I'd consider a backup. You'll have a copy of your data, but it will be vulnerable if something happends to your house (it was you that brought up lightning and house on fire). If you dont have another...

    Build an Xeon Ivy Bridge ESXi server. Which mobo?

    It would be a backup as long as nothing happends to your house. As long as you dont have any offsite storage of your data, you're basically putting all your eggs in one basket. If you dont want to, or simply cant, store your data at another physically location than your house...

    Build an Xeon Ivy Bridge ESXi server. Which mobo?

    As long as you only have to reconnect your external 8-disk chassis when you boot between your Solaris and Windows/whatever, you're not gonna experience any rebuild on your raidz3. BUT you claim that you use that external chassis for backup aswell, and when (or hopefully only if) you have to do...

    Build an Xeon Ivy Bridge ESXi server. Which mobo?

    If I read correctly you're gonna have a 11 disk raidz3, with 8 disk in external chassis that you disconnect? With your focus on ECC-ram and the added security/feature you get with ZFS, I'm quite surpriced that you are willing to break a raidz3 on purpose, and essentially only have a "raid0"...

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    What I did to get my two HP SAS Expanders to Norway, was to buy them from a reputable seller on ebay (SynergyDustin here on Hardforum, budgetservers on eBay) and had them shipped to Norway with Jetcarrier.com. From a consumer point of view it may be safer to buy a product in Norway, since we...

    Anyone used CrashPlan?

    I'm using CrashPlan on both Solaris (OpenIndiana) and Windows-clients and for me it works great. Havn't tried any restore yet, but I have my windows-clients backup both to the CrashPlan-servers and to my OpenIndiana-server, so that if my windows-client needs restore I can do that locally, and...

    Problem with adding JBOD-chassis and 2nd HP Expander

    Both expanders are rev 0A and green pcb. They were bought from SynergyDustin. The expander in my server has firmware 2.08, and the expander in my 2nd chassis has firmware 2.02. Since my plans were to connect the 2nd expander directly to the controller (using a 8087-8088 bracket), I'm not...

    Problem with adding JBOD-chassis and 2nd HP Expander

    The sff-8088 bracket was a cheap ebay deal shipped from China, however I used that bracked to test out the external port on both expanders, and it worked without a flaw on both expanders. I have not bought/tried a 8087-8088 cable, but since I didnt have any problems using the bracked I hope I...

    Problem with adding JBOD-chassis and 2nd HP Expander

    You'll need eight SFF-8087-to-SFF-8087 cables, like these http://www.ipcdirect.net/servlet/Detail?no=216 Two to dual-link controller to hp-expander. Six from hp-expander to backplanes.

    First Home NAS build, ZFS (OpenIndiana and Napp-It)

    You could get a Norco 4220 from USA (ipcdirect.net) to your local postoffice in Sweden for the total amount of aprox 4268 SEK, including shipping and VAT, using airfreight with Jetcarrier.com. If you choose to use their seafreight instead it will take longer, but its cheaper, bringing in the...

    USA store ships norco to Europe?

    I've used Jetcarrier.com twice to ship a Norco from ipcdirect.net to norway. Jetcarrier.com offers both shipping by air or by sea to Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Shipping by air is offcourse faster, but also more expencive. Airfreight for a Norco 4020 with Jetcarrier is about $200 usd...

    That would be the correct calculation. And that shippingcost also would mean airfreight, so you should get the chassis fairly quick too.
