R620 Power Edge Server LCD Panel not showing any alarm when there is a power supply failure

$

Hi,

This is Manjunath. I am facing a problem with many of our R620 servers. LCD panel not displaying any error message (not turning into amber light) when there is a power supply failure. 

We have turned off one of the PSU for testing but it is not turning amber nor any error message. 

Can anyone explain any settings that we need to do? Even front panel LCD tabs are also not working.

Best regards,

Manju

We have currently have Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller version 1.35.35 that will only work with Firefox. 

If I upgrade Integrated Dell Remote Access controller to 2.32.31.30 will this allow iDRAC to work with other browsers, and is it a good ideal to upgrade iDRAC Controller version?

WHY!! Why can't we expand from 8 to 16? PowerEdge R820

$
0

Everything on these servers is modular! We got an R820 with 8 bays under the assumption it would be a quick upgrade to throw another 8 bays in there. Boy were we wrong. I have been on the phone with customer service, tech support, scouring the internet. Why is the HDD carrier for bay 2 not available to buy? It seems like every other part is easy to obtain. We can get the backplane, the cables, the raid controller, but not the hard drive carrier for bay 2? Is there anywhere to get this part? The blank just slides out like there is a bay 2 carrier in existence somewhere that would just slide in and take its place. Please let me know if you know where we can get this bay 2 hard drive carrier. 

Thanks!

How To Access Self Hosted Poweredge T430's IDRAC Behind NAT

$

Hi sorry for noob question.  It is surprisingly difficult for me to search successfully or understand documentation.


I have setup a Poweredge T430 to host my client's premises.  It is working fine, but I need to figure out how to configure the iDrac portion so that I can access it remotely. I currently have the iDrac on a dedicated NIC.

Should I simply forward a non 443 port to the IP the iDRAC is on, for example:

I contact domain.com:55555 which the router forwards to port 443 at ip 192.168.1.5 ?

I tried this but nothing happened.  Am I missing the point?  I am sure this is easier than I am making it.  Clearly it isn't worth having a separate domain and IP for the iDRAC to use...

Many thanks for any tolerant advice given :)

Script to assign static IP to dual NIC configuration

New to using dual NIC configuration and scripting, looking for some ideas. Have multiple locations with R520’s installed and need a way for an installer to just run a script to set static IP’s for both of the NIC’s based off of user input of the location id. Problem I’m having is one may have local area connection and local area connection 2, the next local area connection 7 and local area connection 8 so can’t assign based off of connection name. Can get a script to assign one but not both connection.

Hi,

I've just managed to get hold of one of the Dell 1920w H928n rackmount UPS devices.  It didn't come with any of the rails unfortunately and I am now trying to find the right bits.

I haven't found anywhere online a part number for the rails that came with the unit, is someone able to provide this or maybe point me in the direction of another set of rails that I can use to mount it?

Many thanks,

Chris

UEFI BIOS Type in PowerEdge T20

Hello community.

I have a question about BIOS type in PowerEdge T20 Server.

I want to install a PCIe SSD and boot Windows from it, but I have info about that only UEFI BIOS can support this feature. The question is; What type of BIOS have the PowerEdge T20 server?.

The PCIe SSD that plan to use is a Kingston Hyper Predator 460 GB on the PCIe 16x 2.0 x4 expansion slot.

Additionally, can I connect a SSD 2.5" without optional card controller?.

Thanks.

Problems upgrading fw on R710

$

I have a couple of identical R710 with iDrac enterprise. Both have VMware ESXi 6 with OMSA agent installed. Recently I have decided to upgrade all old firmware on both servers. Following this guide I have made a bootable CD and run it several times on both servers. Then I have compared results via iDrac. First server seemed to successfully receive all the updates. Second one seem to stuck with old Bios(6.3), iDrac(1.92 Build 05)  and PERC H700 (12.10.4-0001) firmware.

I understand that I have somehow to try applying older versions of firmware first. What would be the best sequence to do that? Can this be done via lifecycle controller (servers do not have internet access)? Or should I build a bootable FreeDos media?

R620 Single non-redundant 1100W PSU

$

Hi,

I wanted to know if it was possible to use a single 1100W PSU on R620. I don't want power supply redundancy so is it possible to use a single 1100W PSU without redundancy? If not, what's the rule with matching the dual PSUs? Can I match 2 PSUs from any vendor (Lite-On, Emerson) as long as the wattage is same, or will I need to 2 power supplies with the exact same Dell Product numbers?

Thanks in advance :)

Dell PowerEdge R220 unsupported memory configuration

$

Hello all, in our organization we have a server Dell PowerEdge R220 (service tag: XXXXXXX Removed for security reasons) The bios version is: 1.40

I decided to expand the memory. The server was equipped with one chip 8 GB SK hynix HMT41GU7BFR8A. When I tried to add 3 memories x 8 GB Kingston KVR16LE11/8 the server started but every time the following message appears after POST: The amount of system memory has changed. Unsupported memory configuration. DIMM mismatch accross slots detected. Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the System Setup Program!!

If I leave only the memory SK hynix the message above didn't show up. I tried to put only one memory Kingston in the same slot where SK hynix was and the message appeared again.

Any suggestions?

Poweredges 2850

I'm starting them up again, after standing around for more then 8 years.
First they start complaining about the fans, and cmos batt. that's gone, and E0212, which seems to come from nowhere ?
I put in all vents, while there's only one processor, and now, it starts complaining about E0412, RPM fan7 . They all have installed Fan 1-2-3-4,5-6.
The E0212 complaint is the same on three ! Volt PG3 3V, PG1 8V, and then ofcourse, you get E0000, buffer overflow.
I swapped PSU's from 4 machines, and they all give the same error, so I guess it's no the psu's ?
As, during moving, all HD's and caddies, and even a processor got stolen, I have no OS totally installed.
Yes, A very basic, OLD Kubuntu anno 2009, that actually seems to recognise al hardware.
I also installed a opensuse 11.x, which also ran great.
As said, all HD's are gone, and now running with an extrernal 50pin disc, connected on an Adaptec scsi Raid controller..
It's nice, you can use dvd's through USB...

Bios is version A002

Some help would be appreciated.
