Has anyone been using a 1333 FSB Core 2 Duo board in the SC512L that will fit without modification? Looking for something for mass use, I know some of the server boards will fit fine, wondering about some of the ASUS or Foxconn boards.
View 1 RepliesIs there a current motherboard out there that will fit the Supermicro SC512L-260B chassis without modification? I think Foxconn had one recently, but it may have been discontinued.
I know sometimes you have to grind off the the Audio since it is too high for the 1U chassis. I'm hoping maybe ASUS has something that will fit.
We are starting to look for new motherboards for LGA775 1333 MHz FSB Intel Core 2 Duo chips and I'm wondering what boards other people are using. Support for the new Core 2 Duo E6xxx/E8xxx series chips is a must.
Our qualifications for boards is that they must work out of the box (or very near to out of the box) with CentOS/RHEL 5 and must fit in a SuperMicro SC512 case with no modification (meaning: working NIC & low profile audio).
some cables for the SuperMicro SC512L-260 case. I believe these are the correct part numbers:
CBL-0084L - Converter cable for front panel connector for non-SuperMicro motherboards
CBL-0044L - Serial ATA Cable that is compatible for use with limited space to plug into hard drives
We'd also be open to a different Serial ATA cable that would work with the case.
We're having trouble finding these in Atlanta. We'd prefer to either pick them up tomorrow, or buy them today and have them overnighted to us in Atlanta.
We just got in our first shipment of Supermicro SC512L-260B cases. We have been using much larger and more expensive 1u (or even 2U) cases, even for base servers. I wish we had went with this chassis a long time ago.
My question is on the SATA cables. I know you can order the Supermicro CBL-0044 cable to allow connection to the hard drives in tight spaces, but these can be expensive or hard to find. I have a few coming, but does anyone have a source or know of a generic cable that will work? Or how do those of you that use this chassis route standard SATA cables? I see you might be able to go under the fan, but I'm not sure that is a good idea.
I am configuring an environment where several servers are going to boot from iSCSI.
The chassis will not have any local storage.
I am looking for cheap 1U chassis where I can plug in a decent PSU and a Super Micro X8STi-F with an Intel Core i7 proc.
where to buy server chassis in Europe?
View 7 Replies View RelatedCan anyone recommend a good 1U server chassis that is $100 or under?
Preferrably one already with a good/reliable power supply in it. Just something that will handle PentiumD or Athlon AM2 stuff & 2 hard drives.
I've bought a chassis "SuperChassis 512L-260" from Supermicro. Now, I want to install an Intel Mainboard (Intel S3000AHV). It's only a testing server.
Which I/O shield do I need and where I can get it (am I able to change it?)?
Perhaps, I have to use a Supermicro mainboard?
We are using the SC512L-260B chassis for our lower end machines, what is a good recommendation for say Dual Opteron or Dual Woodcrest servers?
Looking 1U that will handle 2 drives, but would also like a recommendation for going with 4 drives (would this require 2U?). Hot swap not necessary.
what type of motherboard can fit into a RM215/217 server? We purchased some of these from a Dutch supplier 2 years ago, and they were delivered with Tyan AMD motherboards with S939 CPU's.
These are used for file storage, and are running 3ware 9550-sx controllers. Tasks are only rsyncing, gzipping, and rotating backups. Problem is that this is now happening fast enough with the single Opteron 2Ghz CPU they are carrying.
I want to do something like this;
* Dual Xeon Nocona, 2.8Ghz etc as we have _many_ of these CPU's already
* Dual Opteron 250-252 etc
* If as fast as the Dual Nocona, maybe a Core2 Duo, although not sure what is available w/PCI-X
So, if anyone knows, or can give any ideas, OR has any Nocona-capable motherboards for sale in Amsterdam for sale, please let me know,
BTW I have already tried doing the x2 chip upgrade on one of these, and was not impressed. The motherboard which is in these machines now IIRC is a S8965 Tyan - which has 32 bit PCI slots. I believe one of the problems here is the controller needs a 64 bit PCI slot to sit on, as it's saturating the 32 bit PCI bus.
Disk config is 8 x 750G / 9550-sx - again all I need is
* gzip / tar / move the files around & delete them
* figure 3-4TB of data on each of these boxes

Shall I chose the xeon quad core 2.4 GHZ or the dual core 2.66 GHZ for an adserver's database?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have bought an Intel SR2500LX server chassis with a S5000PAL mainboard running Centos. This system has an active backplane with a LSI MegaRaid chipset.
I'd like to be notified in the case of a drive failure but I'm totally stumped on how to get any monitoring working.
The only raid managment utility Intel supplies is a Java based monstrosity, which needs X-Windows to run and needs to be run continuously in order for the email notification to work.
Web based management can only be used from the same subnet as the server, so that's not very useful either.
I've contacted Intel support which gave me the advice to reboot the server and use the Bios utility if I want to check the Raid arrays consistency . Needless to say I'm very dissapointed, this server has every redundancy feature you can think of but it seems impossible to monitor the Raid under Linux.
Does anybody have experience with the Chassis and Raid monitoring under Linux?
Which is the better performer?
(1x) Quad Core Intel Xeon X3220 2.40GHz 2x4M Cache
OR
(2x) Dual Core AMD Opteron 2216 2.4GHz 2X1MB Cache 1Ghz HyperTransport
This is for a web/application server running, Windows 2003 Server Professional, IIS, MySQL, MSSQL 2005 Express, Plesk 8.5. The price is about the same.
We currently use Intel motherboards in our dedicated servers, for our customers.
But I wish some advice about these manufacturers. Are they good? As good as intel, or even better? (They are much cheaper than Intel, and uses Intel chipsets)
* Foxconn
* MSI (Microstar)
* Gigabyte
* ASUS

I bought a dual socket F motherboard and having a hard time getting OpenVZ to run on it. I'm wondering if the board is compatible. It's a Tyan S2932 and the OpenVZ kernel crashes on it. (2.6.24 kernel)
I've flashed the latest bios.
So - thinking about returning the MB and getting something else. What MB is compatible with OpenVZ?
Specs:
2 socket F for quad core opterons.
16 momery slots.

I'm planning on buying my first server. For processor I'll be using either an Opteron or Xeon.
Which motherboard would you suggest I get?
I saw ASUS motherboard for Opteron, but was told that ASUS board is not good enough for a server, what do you think?
I have tested the Asus M2N-MX motherboard on CentOS 5, the first 10 worked very well, zero problems and very stable.
My next 10 somehow did not work at all, after speaking to asus techs, I had to stick a 512MB ram module (which does make the motherboard work) and update the bios. Now the 1GB kingston ddr2 modules work fine.
Installed centos, and then to find out that every time the server gets rebooted, ALL eth0 settings are lost. I tested debian on it and same story! The nic is found, but debian is assigning/detecting new MAC's for the nic all the time.
The weird thing is the first batch is working very good!
I have wasted countless hours in trying to get this second batch working with no luck. I am looking to get the gigabyte GA-M61PM-S2 with RTL8211 nic. Anyone who was able to get this one running with centos without any problems?
new xeon motherboard after having nothing but constant problems with the supermicro boards. Specifically we've had many arrive with faulty dimm's but beyond that getting Windows 2003 loaded, dealing with drivers for SCSI raid configurations is simply a bear. Supermicro's support isn't much help either with answers like "well that's the driver, it should work."
Just trying to get some feedback on what others are using. Looking for something that has both SATA and SCSI support with and without RAID 0,1,5 and 10 and has better than average Windows 2003 support.
We're not interested in any of the options from Dell, HP, etc.

View 8 Replies View Relateddoes anyone know what desktop motherboard can it fit? prefer AMD desktop motherboard.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've been having good luck with desktop class systems using boards like the Supermicro PDSMI+. But I have need for a 8gb solution.
2gb DDR2 modules are still in $300 range... so 8gb is costing me 4x as much as 4gb.
4 x 1gb=$300 using Kingston DDR2 from Newegg
Problem is motherboards either have 4 slots or I have to move up to Opteron/Xeon boards.
I'm open on ECC or not, had failues either way
