    Dell Poweredge 657XG

    Found this motherboard, has dual Xeon 1ghz slot 2's, and 1 1/2 gb of pc133 ram in it. No case or psu or anything like that. Has no IDE, just SCSI. Has 7 ram slots, theres 3 lined up, 3 backwards next to it, and one lone one facing the same direction as the first 3. Has 3 pci-x slots that are green, 3 pci-x slots that are white, and one regular pci. It seems to have a ATI integraded graphics card too. I can't find anything on it on dell's website or on google.

    Look for Poweredge 4400: the 675XG is the motherboard inside those servers

      Hmmm, no wonder I was having trouble finding it. Now I need a power supply for this beast. I wonder what the 9th ram slot is for? Heres a pic of it.

        The 9th slot is the Raid controller cache slot: you can fill it with 64 or 128 MB sticks (a review mentioned a 128 MB cache upgrade): don't know if it's normal ECC SDRAM or Registered stuff like system ram. Dig a bit into the docs .

          Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
          by Bowline
          My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

          Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

          My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
          The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
          I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

          Dell Pro 13 Plus PB13250 Bios Unlock
          by Akhlz001
          Hi,

          Could someone help trying to unlock this BIOS, seems that Dell have changed the layout of new Dell Pro 8FC8 bioses from checking HXD - 4000 bits do not need changing, only 2000. However after FF the section starting from '01000' upto 2000 bits and then soldering the chip back it seems that the microchip on the motherboard is recovering the bios back to original settings after first boot. Has anyone found a way to crack this extra layer of security Dell have implemented? Seems both HP and Dell have upped bios security to match Lenovo by implementing extra measures on a separate...

          Dell Inspiron 5590 Board 18778-1 no charging, charging not possible
          by master3112
          I would like to share my experience about charging issues with Dell power supplies with the tech community. I am working on a Dell Inspiron 5590, Mainboard 18778-1 with charging problems. The device can be switched on and works so far, only the message appears at startup:

          Alert! The AC power adapter wattage and Type cannot be determined. The battery may not change. The System will adjust the performace to match the power available.

          The power supply unit is not recognized in the Bios and the charging process is set to "idle". I use original Dell battery, type...

          Troubleshooting of redundant F750E-S0 Dell PowerEdge Server
          by omega
          Hello all,
          as a beginner electronics hobbyist, after a few years I would like to place another post on this Forum section, given that I did not succeed in finding any useful advice among the other posts.

          Over the last years, I have been using a PowerEdge Dell Server with two redundant PSUs, namely the 750W F750E-S0 ones (aka 06W2PW). Unfortunately, last summer one of them failed (perhaps owing to an overheating), and the server had for working to take into account the other one only. Of course I opened and tried to troubleshoot the failed PSU, but each cap I tested seemed to...
