    X550-T2 NIC with Dell T640

    After many hours looking at other posts, it looks like the dell variant of this NIC does not like 4x slots. Even though the Intel spec says it does. Only 8x and 16x slots seem to work.

    X550-T2 NIC with Dell T640

    Have a Dell T640 Server (Dual CPU) that I just installed an X550-T2 to replace the Broadcom onboard Nics. Running Server 2019. When I initially installed the card, I had it on the left side of the board, which can only be used if you have both CPU sockets populated. When I ran a speed test I...

    New Work Server - Dell T640

    That might be true if we were not locked in on the software we use. As it stands, over 50% is licensing fees to Microsoft. They know businesses have to and will pay for it. And no, not "being a dick" at all. I agree there are ways for others but not in my specific situation.

    New Work Server - Dell T640

    Thanks for the tip on OBS. I agree stability is a key factor and important in this setup. As far as backups, we do have 3 going every day: network, off-site physical media, and cloud so hopefully that is enough. I would love a redundant but you are right, time will tell. The issue I'm...

    New Work Server - Dell T640

    I don't remember all the specs since I am not in front of it. Its a xeon 4 core v3 something on a supermicro board, 16gb ram, and 2 raid arrays in raid 1 with WD 7200 black drives. Those drives are so slow and definitely should not be in that type of configuration. The software is by an outside...

    New Work Server - Dell T640

    No VMs. Just SQL on server 2019. Yes, there are backups but sadly, only one server. It's a small city so the demand on the server is not that high and can't afford a fail over server. The one it is replacing should have been replaced like 4 years ago

    Work Server Advice

    That is an excellent suggestion. I did not even look up the channel numbers. Thanks It will have a minimum of 48, per slavie suggestion, but i can go above 64gb as in the original quote. Update: So after looking at the current server, the hard drives are holding the system back. There is huge...
