Supermicro X7DVL-I, Intel Boxed Heatsink
Jun 8, 2007
I've bought a Supermicro X7DVL-I Mainboard for an 1 U chassis. When I wanted to place the Intel Boxed Heatsink, I wondered if I have to use the product "SKT-0159L" because-of the screws. But when I placed the mainboard into the chassis, the "SKT-0159L" is too thick for the chassis, but without the "SKT-0159L" I'm not able to use the screws.
Is there any possibility to place the mainboard with Intel Boxed Cooler (Xeon 5130) into an 1 U chassis?

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 hosting our software system which do calculation and file manipulation.
Now we have Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 and would like to get Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 to increase our system performance.
Also we have other choice, get Intel Xeon E5405 Harpertown 2.0GHz
to replace two above.
I think it is better to have one server box because one box easy to manage than two. Also Harpertown is much faster than these two together.
What is your opinion?

I have currently a server with a "Intel Core 2 duo e6640 2.4Ghz".
Now the company I'm at moving to a new data center and offering me a box for the same price with a Intel P3.4.
As I understand I would move from a two core to a single core CPU.
In the first move letter they send me, they where saying I would get a CPU plus, plus 1 GB mem more.

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?

Where are some good vendors to buy SuperMicro servers? Are all SuperMicro servers pre-configured or can I create one to my specs like I can with Dell?

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.

Supermicro power supplies today and found something odd.
There are several 2U chassis that are listed as having 700W redundant power supplies. I thought this meant that there are 2 power supply modules, each rated to 700W.
However, if you look at the power supply matrix here:
[url]
Under 2U, the options for redundant power supplies are 500+500W or 400+400W or 350+350W. Does this mean that each individual power supply is only rated to half of the total power. For example, 700W redundant power supply = 2x350W individual power supplies?

I'm considering putting together a new set of servers...
My primary goal is to have IPMI and 16GB of 32GB of RAM in a system. I'm wanting lower-cost systems. I don't need a ton of CPU or anything special on disk (2 SATA is all I really need).
My previous generation of systems was PDSMI+ with 8GB RAM and they have been working great... but time to see if I can put together some budget 16GB of 32GB servers.
Anyone have some combos of motherboard + RAM to recommend?
(I'm open to Tyan or other server motherboards, even AMD or Intel)

Getting down to deciding my barebones set up..
here is one I am teetering on..
[url]
It has 4 hot swap bays (sas)
dual xeon thingee
sas hdd raid controller
ecc memory support
2 lans
520watt power..redundant...though I think it is a littel over 2 amps when pushed.
Although I am looking at just geting the same MOBO and building it, there is not much of a price difference that I can see..

I am having alot of difficulty trying to setup supermicro IPMI.
I am using motherboard PDSMI+.
Ok, so this is what I did:
1. I flash the IPMI card with the cd-rom that is included. I set the correct IP and MAC address.
2. I then install OpenIPMI-tools
I was able to successfully issue the command locally:
ipmitool sensor
but, when I try to connect remotely I always get a connection failed. I tried everything I know, which is nothing and got no progress.
I set the ipaddres and gateway by using this commands:
ipmitool -I open lan set 1 ipaddr [IPADDR]
ipmitool -I open lan set 1 defgw ipaddr [GW IPADDR]
ipmitool -I open lan set 1 netmask [NETMASK]
ipmitool -I open lan set 1 access on

Been out of touch for a couple months on software issues and back to hardware.
Has the PDSMI+ been replaced by a newer board?
How are they holding up?

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 have been offering mostly AMD servers for various reasons, but I am curious the reason many offer one vs. the other?
More demand? Reliability? Power consumption? Heat output? Compatability? Performance?
