Dell PowerConnect 2724

Jan 22, 2008

I just got this managed switch and I've got it to work, no doubt. It's getting ips from my 100mbps router, which is 12.11.0.1/24.

1. How do I access the web-based managed switch? I can't find anywhere in my router under the "attached device" menu...

2. My switch is 1gbps, but not my router. My servers connected to the switch also have 1gbps nic cards, can it do 1gbps between servers (internally) or it's limited to 100mbps because of the router?

Dell PowerConnect 2724 A Router

Jun 26, 2007

if I can use this as a router as well? which means, if I plug a computer into it, will it give me 192.168.0.1? The specs info on the dell is a little confusing for me...

The whole situation is I have 10 windows xp, and we want to setup an internal LAN with dhcp capabilities from the router/switch...

Dell Powerconnect 6224 Reboot´s When Use ISCSI

May 15, 2009

I´m running a Dell Powerconnect 6224 with firmware 2.2.0.3 for a customer.

After upgrade to firmware 2.2.0.3 from the version 2.0.0.12, and starting to use ISCSI with link aggregation groups, the switch began to reboot every 2-3 days.
Now, i have disabled LAG and this issue also happen.

It could be a firmware problem? Really, with firmware 2.0.0.12 it was solid as rock but without a advanced usage such as vlan, link aggregation, IP routing...

I´m not sure if my customer would like pay more and choose a more stable switch such as Cisco Catalyst...

Oct 17, 2007

Will a Perc 5 raid card work in a non-dell Linux server? These cards can be found for about $100 on eBay, and are much cheaper than the Adaptec cards with similar features and ports.

Dell Drives In A RAID Array With Non-Dell Drives

Sep 14, 2009

I have a couple of Dell 1950s and in one of them, I have 2x Seagate 15K.5s that I purchased through Dell and I also have a spare sitting in my rack in case one goes bad, also from Dell.

I was going to be repurposing one of my other 1950s and was going to get two more 15K.5s for it, but wasn't planning on getting them through Dell (rip off?). This way, could still keep the same spare drive around in case a drive went bad in that system as well.

When I was talking to my Dell rep recently when purchasing another system, their hardware tech said you can't use non-Dell drives with Dell drives in the same RAID array because of the different firmware between them.

Anyone know if it is true? Anyone have any experience with using drives from Dell in conjunction with the same model drives from a third party retailer?

HP And DELL

Oct 2, 2007

why don't you buy servers from big guys like HP and DELL? Are they too expensive, or servers are not as good as suposed to be, or something else?

Our company is buying all our computers and printers from HP, we are receiving great customer service, waranty, if something gets wrong - we had computer replaced-no problem!

Maybe some small local guys are selling cheaper and better equipment, but I have peace of mind.

Supermicro // Dell // HP

Jul 22, 2009

I know this topic has been brought up before and I wanted to revisit this again. We are a growing hosting company looking to expand our Dedicated server offerings. So far, we have been renting servers and reselling but now we have begun colocating our equipment and are looking for hardware vendors.

Would you recommend us to...

...build our own servers using the Supermicro platform?
...purchase pre-built servers from Dell?
...purchase pre-build servers from HP?

Pricing is of major concern along with speed to provision new orders. Although we don't have a dedicated resource for putting together servers, this is something we can look into should the volume of orders increase. Scalability and Flexibility is a MUST

Thanks for chiming in...

Dell, HP Or SuperMicro

May 30, 2009

The technical level in our org is quite low.

We would like some advice on the difference between

1. Supermicro PDSML-LN2
[url]

2. DELL PowerEdge R200
[url]

3. HP Proliant DL120
[url]

Some web hosts here in Singapore are leasing them at comparable rates.

Our research shows that the Dell and HP are comparable and the SuperMicro appears to be in a different (lower) class.

How can the servers be leased at comparable rates if they are from different classes?

Dell PE2650 RAC

May 25, 2008

Got a Dell PE 2650 that I sold last week, the guy who has bought it wants the RAC (remote access controller) working on it. Unfortunately I don't have the password for it, in order to log it on, rendering it useless.

Is there any way to reset this password? I've tried resetting BIOS and that didn't work (I believe it's on a separate system)

Dell Vs. Supermicro

Apr 26, 2007

configuration on Supermicro hardware and dell hardware, the pricing is pretty much the same 100+/- so thats not an issue.

But I am having a hard time to decide if I should go with supermicro or dell.

But here are the points which I have in mind.

- As far as dell goes, there is a central place for support, for example, if I have any issues, I know who to call exactly and get the issue solved, no resellers involved. If I go with supermicro and buy the hardware from a 3rd party, I dont know who to go to for support say a Motherboard fails or if I have any other questions, should I ask Supermicro themselves or the reseller?

- Has a DRAC card which I've heard is much more powerful than IPMI and I've heard Supermicro has no hardware for remote management as powerful as DRAC, I dont know how true that is.

- If I need any parts I know where I have to go to order them and what exactly to order since they have specific parts for specific server models, I dont know about supermicro.

I know, most of my points are benefiting Dell. But I've heard from the research that Supermicro hardware use less power and have less hard drive failures than Dell Servers, I dont know how true that is.

Dell PowerEdge

Jan 6, 2007

i notice the Dell do not configure the on board SATA to any RAID unless you purchase add on RAID adapter.

does this mean you can't configure it yourself? do dell poweredge onboard SATA controller support any RAID at all? do dell allow you to configure it yourself or you must purchase the add on RAID adapter?

Dell DRAC II In PE 1500SC

trying to configure this thing, the software on Dell's site (IT Assistant) is what they tell you to use however it wants to scan the network looking for the device. This won't work because I bought this off ebay and god knows what it is set for right now. What is the easy way to reconfigure and talk to this card? Newer DRACs have a boot time config

L2 Switches......Cisco, Dell And HP

Aug 9, 2009

we are a small shop...

Not looking to buy another switch but we have a crapshoot of switches around. Dell 5448,

HP 2910 and a Cisco 3560.

I'd like to keep the the Cisco back in HQ stock since it's a POE switch.

We are colocating just 1 SAN intially. Max of maybe 7-8 Servers total in the future. Not alot of bandwidth and doing L2 traffic only. Any issues with either the Dell or HP in the colo environment from a production standpoint. We have used a couple of Procurves in our environment, and the dell switches were freebies that were part of our last order.

Basically, it would look like this

ASA5510 serving as main headed VPN

2 Branch Offices connecting to it

One L2 Switch. 2 - 3 Seperate Vlans with a trunk port back out to the ASA5510

Dell Perferred Account

Feb 20, 2008

I got a letter from Dell today about their my "preapproved" Dell perferred account which i never apply for in the first place.

I bought some PC and Laptop from Dell but i don't think i purchase enough for them to send me a invite for their perferred account.

What's the deal with Dell Preferred Account? The letter said no initiation or annual fees, exclusive offers...etc.

Is this like some kind of credit program with Dell? What's the real benefit for me?

I figure there must be a lot of you buying Dell's ware and if you don't mind filling me the real deal with dell perferred account.
