Dell PowerEdge R630: iDrac 8 Ethernet Port broken after pulled out by force by accident

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 15:46:18 -0700

Sooo, one of my ethernet cables got forced out by accident, and now, in the ethernet port, the cable can go in and out (not fully, the cable can't slip out), but it only works, when i push the eth cable all the way in... I think smthng got broke in my port, the cable is fine, i even tried with another cable... tried to look, if there are any different, from the working eth ports.. but i can't see a thing... What should i do or check ? It's soldered to the main board, so changeing it is probably the last option..

Dell PowerEdge R740: Why is the Server not able to boot?

Dell PowerEdge R740 server cannot boot after update. Stuck at loading Bios drivers. All attempts to enter Lifecycle Control also proof futile.

Dell PowerEdge R710: Can I use a 150W+ GPU on a 25W PCIe slot + the 4/6pin PCIe PSU cable?

Fri, 21 Aug 2020 14:48:43 -0700

I have a PCIe slot on my motherboard with a 25W power limit and I want to add either an RX 570 4GB (~150W) or a Radeon HD 7950 3GB 3GB (~200W), I’m not yet sure which one, but most likely the RX 570. I won’t be switching my motherboard or PC due to costs so that’s not an option (please don’t suggest this). I want to connect the GPU to the 25W PCIe slot and use the 4/6pin (or whatever) PCIe connector from the PSU. Would the 4/6pin cable provide the extra 50W needed that the PCIe slot isn’t giving and allow it to boot and function normally? Or would the GPU be expecting 75W from the PCIe slot and not work even if the 4/6pin cable is providing enough power to cover the rest of the GPU’s TDP?

Thanks
