    Retro Server Build - The Ratdude AT Rackmount Server Case Saga!

    You sure realize who your friends are when they grab things they think you'd like....like a NOS AT Rackmount server case that turned up at a Goodwill store in Indiana....and even hand-delivered it!





    Inside:





    The build in mind is a retro from way back that I'm redoing for this case.... Tyan S1564D dual socket 7.



    The beginning...some of those standoffs will have to be surgically removed...



    ....but the first test fit was good!







    A lot of things still need to be figured out, but Merry Christmas to me!!

        The motherboard was from THIS THREAD....I'm repurposing it for this build.... This case is worth of such an awesome motherboard. Supermicro Makes an AT dual socket8 (P6DNE), but the odds of finding one are pretty much nill....

          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...

          Windows 2016 server L2TP/IPsec VPN - two subnets
          by Fireballcz
          Hello, please how to properly configure VPN in this environment?
          I have two subnets in two different (geographical) workplaces, connected via IPsec (thru gateway routers)
          Main subnet: 192.168.11.0/24, gateway (router IP) 192.168.11.1, Windows 2016 server (VPN, DHCP, DC etc.) 192.168.11.3
          2nd subnet : 192.168.22.0/24, gateway (router IP) 192.168.22.1 - just client computers.

          I need to allow external (home office) users connect via VPN server (192.168.11.3) to the 2nd subnet (192.168.22.0/24) to their computers (via RDP).
          I have no problems with VPN connection...

          Supermicro Server Power Distributor board
          by shlomim412
          Hello everyone

          working on a supermicro server PDB
          i attach a photo of how it looks

          it suddenly died and the symptom is when pressing power on it sends a brief dc voltage and imediatly shuts down.
          fan spins briefly and stops.

          the power supply connected to it is working tested for sure (tested on another good pdb)

          cannot find a short anywhere on the board, capacitors visually seem to be ok.
          standby voltage is present (5v) also vdd to the power ic chip is present (also 5v).

          any help would be apreciatted!
          thanks...
