So I was just gifted a PowerEdge SC1425 by a friend who has upgraded to a better system.
I went ahead and purchased a 16GB RAM upgrade: 4X4 ECC-REG-PC2-3200-4GB from amazon that say they are are specifically for the PowerEdge SC1425
I also went ahead and ordered 2 4TB Hard Drives that were also specifically made for the machine.
Now I am by no means a computer guy. I was able to open the system and install them but when I tried to power it on the Monitor/Screen I had laying around didn't turn on.
I have honestly never tried to fire this machine up but according to the person who gifted it to me it should work.
Does this system require a self powered monitor? The one I am attempting to use doesn't have a separate power cable, just the VGA plug.
I have only ever worked with Macintosh systems so I am unfamiliar with what I need to do to get this running.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance community! :-)
