what does the bracket do? do i need rails for colo or can the server be mounted on the rack and where do i get the rails for it?
edit: i just read the comment by one buyer.
"Pros: No expenssive rackmount rails required, mounts using the intergrated ears, very good airflow for such small case. Very well built, pretty solid for price range. "
so no rails is required...by intergerated ears i assume he mean the two handle on each side and the bracket can be use to mount the server. how strong are they? Can they really hold the server?

Is 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 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.

to do a small cdn with servers located in 5 locations. The cdn will be used to serve video, images, but might require also serving other types of files, or even host applications.
Is there a ready to install cdn software/architecture that is tested and works or I will have to start from scratch?

Apple just released a new version of the Mac Mini specifically designed for running as a server. They have removed the optical drive and added a second hard drive (2x500GB).
In my opinion this is really exciting. These little machines rock.
Apple's website does not specifically say, but I assume you can run RAID-1 using those two SATA disks...
Seems like a far price when you bundle Mac OS X Server software.

We are in good 'ol Europe very much hit by electricity and surface prices in the last 2-3 years. Shure is that power prices do climb in all the world, but the increases are very steep in some countries like France, Austria or extremely in Switzerland where also surface prices are horrendous. This makes tower or midi cases housing for dedicated servers actually impossible in such places.
My question here; does anyone know, or have the good heart (as this can be seen as business secrecy) to tell where and which kind of servers with standard cpu's (not mobile cpu's) can be bought which have the most little sizes existing? I'm not talking about 1HE servers or Shuttle's, I'm talking about PC's with standard components, which are less big than even Shuttles.

I just read about this Mac Mini colocation service. I currently have a dedicated server, but the pricing of this option is very attractive.
Can this be done effectively from a Mac Mini? I'd be running a number of MySQL databases and about a dozen websites (which I'm currently doing from my dedicated server with no problems).
Anyone have any experience or advice to offer on this path?

This is not as much a complete and full review as some, but I would like to review my current host because they have been very good. As a small prelude, I have been a customer of burstnet a few times and generally got very frustrated with their billing and verification system. Sometimes I only need a server for a month or two then cancel it just as a temporary stop gap for some bandwidth or web space need. I don’t know why but every server I get with them seems to take just under three days to setup where as other companies I have been with achieve setup much, much faster. Don’t get me wrong I am a big fan of burst net for cheap bandwidth, and have voiced my opinion on this before on this forum. They are a good company overall especially for the price you pay.
I was searching for a burstnet reseller, one with a good billing system etc. Just so I didn’t have to deal with that terrible piece of rubbish they have. And I have been with my current host for a few months now. Obviously, knowing they are a reseller will put many people off, as they can go straight to the source. But in my experience, the support they provide (if its not something that requires the burstnet team) and the customer / billing interface available make it all worth while.
Like I said, not a complete review. You can make up your own mind about the burstnet service / network. But I like this reseller and I would recommend them to anyone.

co-location of a mini tower PC I have that hosts a couple of websites. I live in Redmond, WA so anywhere near there or down in Seattle will be fine. Bandwidth wise I only need about 500GB per month. anything fancy just a secure facility with power and network connection.

I want to create a testing environment that is a miniature replication of a full production environment for a web service. From what I understand I'll need three components:
1. A web server
2. PIX firewall
3. DB server
Is there anything else I'll need or anything else I should be mindful of? Looking forward to insight/feedback.

I was in the market for a new dedicated server after a couple of years with my previous provider. The previous provider did nothing wrong but they were no longer competitive when it came to CPU and memory.
I moved first to geekrack. And I left them after a week and a half as they never were able to get my rDNS records setup.
I found Universal Hosts on this forum and gave them a shot. I had asked for an operating system that they didn't offer normally (Debian 64 bit) and they said that they could do it. However, when my server was setup it was 32 bit Debian instead. They apologized and had Debian 64 bit setup less than 24 hours later.
When I asked them to get rDNS records setup it took a few hours but they were setup correctly and they worked.
Universal Hosts is also a BurstNet reseller but compared to my other attempt at using a BurstNet reseller they are fantastic. While the initial config was incorrect they worked quickly to fix it and were very professional about it.
So after two weeks - so far so good. Keep up the good work UniHosts!

I have many years of experience with Intel (SR1325, SR2200, SR2300, etc) and HP ProLiant DL servers, and have come to love HP. Their ILO2 remote management/power/KVM/VirtualMedia feature is hands-down the best I've used, and for me it's been 100% rock-solid reliable (unlike the horror stories heard about Dell DRAC cards flaking out and locking up when you need them most).
Now there's something shiny catching my eye-- the Supermicro 1U Twin systems.
http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/1UTwin.cfm?pg=1
Given my long positive history with HP, I'm reluctant to consider another brand, but it is hard to ignore double-density servers with colo prices (rackspace costs, not just power costs) spiraling upward.
I would love to hear from folks who have used both HP and Supermicro boxes in production. Specifically, about reliablity of the Supermicro platform in general AND about the reliability of their IPMI management modules even under Murphy's Law situations. The last thing I need is not to be able to remote-console or power cycle an unresponsive server because the IPMI card is flaky.

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...

Looking at 512L-260B's with some good old SuperMicro P4SCi's in there.
Is the MCP-310-18009-0N the airshroud I need for it?
If so, will it also work if I was to upgrade to something like an X7SBL-LN1?

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?

I've been having a look at a lot of boards and Tyan seem to be beating Supermicro in terms of range at scan.co.uk
I've seen some unique features with Supermicro such as Remote KVM and such built into the motherboard, but it only seems to be with the very pricey series unless I'm looking in the wrong direction
Anybody have any thoughts to share about which is the better manufacturer?

I am interested to find out if anyone out there has hooked up an EMC SAN to a supermicro box running Redhat Linux. Fiber Channel implementation would be great but would love to hear opinions about iSCSI as well. I was told that EMC doesn't support Supermicro boxes and while that may be true I would like to know if anyone there has tried it.

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.

I currently have a few servers which I bought previously from eBay. They are not very good specification wise, so I am planning to swap them all for a single server. I have managed to find all my wanted components apart from the Case.
Does anyone know any reliable SuperMicro case provider in the UK?
Or perhaps recommend an alternative reliable case manufacturer.

I've got some new servers and there is two of them that works fine ONLY with the standard kernel that comes with CentOS 5.3, while if I tried to install any new kernel (via yum normally) it doesn't boot up because of a kernel panic saying "Kernel panic: not syncing: Attmepted to kill init!"
I tried reloading the system and same issue.
A screenshot is attached from the console while trying to boot up with any of the new kernels and panics.

I received a chassis from SuperMicro today. It came with a translucent thin piece of plastic (about as thin as a piece of paper). The plastic has holes cut out that are roughly the same as the holes in the mother board. What is this thing? Is it just a guide so you know where to put the mounting screws?

We are testing this motherboard out for future use and are having trouble getting RAM that doesn't cause it to throw a RAM error. It does a no RAM beep, has no video, etc.
Supermicro has no compatible sticks listed for 4GB DDR3 1333Mhz DIMM ECC Registered, and we are currently using Crucial CT51272BB1339
Anyone using this board with 2GB DDR3-1333 ECC and 4GB DDR3-1333 ECC?

I have 4 SuperMicro servers, all of them have a problem with network dropping out 3-5 times a day, moreso during high use periods, and moreso on the servers with higher usage.
The graphs of network speed I have show the speed dropping to 0. All of the servers have this problem. 1 of the servers is a 6015 with 2x Xeon CPU, 16GB ram, RAID10 4x500GB. (don't have the exact model handy). The other 3 are 6015B-T+ with 1x Xeon CPU, 4GB ram, 2x sata drives.
These servers host game servers. The bandwidth usage on these boxes ranges from 1-5 Mb/s. CPU usage is anywhere from 10-30% during the dropouts.

Currently I am building a new server based on this chassis:
[url]
In this chassis, I am going to be using an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard [url], and I'll be installing a 3ware 8006-2LP RAID card.
I just want to make sure that that RAID card will work with that motherboard, and also I want to verify that the Supermicro CSE-RR1U-X riser card is the correct model for this motherboard and RAID card.
I've got a couple of basic servers built in the supermicro mini 1U (CSE-512L-260B) chassis, but I've never had to deal with riser cards before, so I wanted to make sure everything is compatible and is going to fit correctly before I purchase them.
