    Anyone with working knowledge of Rackable SE3016 chassis?

    I had tried everything with the jumpers, and found it easier to make my own circuit. After dicking around with discrete circuits (several iterations), I got tired of breadboarding stuff which simply didn't work for me. So I built the controller using an attiny85. All the bits would be less...

    Rackable System 3U 16 drives chassis SAS2 upgrade

    For the OP: Do you have any kind of throughput numbers? Is the backplane in the SE3016 actually supporting the 6Gb throughput (i.e. did you just move the bottleneck from the original expander to the backplane, or are you seeing 6Gb speeds from the drives?)

    Some ODD & USB questions

    Thanks for the info. I will just do 3.0 and be done with it. Active repeater extensions are a little pricey, but I prefer to "do it once & do it right"

    Some ODD & USB questions

    Couple of questions for those in the "know" - would a 16x DVD-ROM/24x DVD-RW saturate a dedicated USB 2.0 line (direct to computer; no hub involved)? - anyone face issues with active USB extender cables & ODD rip/burn accuracy? Essentially, I am looking to remotely mount an internal...

    HP ProLiant MicroServer owners' thread

    Went through the thread and didn't see any info, so I will ask: Anyone ever mount an LSI 9207-8e or an H221 HBA in a microserver? I am running a 3801e right now, and am looking to get an HBA with the advanced power management settings on the 2308 chipset. Anyone running a different SAS HBA...

    Anyone with working knowledge of Rackable SE3016 chassis?

    Nice! That is what I am thinking. Also had someone recommend a 555 monostable circuit. Will investigate & get back to you on what I find. I also had someone say that "grounding out the green wire on the PSU doesn't damage anything". Am exploring setting that up as well connected to a...

    Anyone with working knowledge of Rackable SE3016 chassis?

    That is fine & dandy, but it won't turn on the chassis (that's the problem). The chassis has a momentary on switch, just like a regular computer. In fact, it has an ATX power supply in it. On a regular computer, the way that autoboot works is it is enabled in the BIOS. On this chassis, I...

    Anyone with working knowledge of Rackable SE3016 chassis?

    Here is the gear: - (2) rackable chassis (one chassis is in service full of 2 TB; other to be put in service as soon as space demands warrant) - HP proliant N36L microserver - LSI SAS-3801E HBA - WHS 2011 - Drives pooled & software raid using FlexRAID The problem: - Server setup is...
