Top 20 Dell PowerEdge 2650 (PE2650BB) Server Questions & Answers

Hello,If you are refering to a hard drive, you can do this from the BIOS/CMOS setting. Mae sure you have admin rights to perform this task.Good LuckC2Solutions

bad power supply but check power source first

try a search for Linux OR try www.downloads.com.. you will need to set up an account but the account is FREE and no recurring charges You might even try www.redhat.com that is Linux site and should be able to find your version there if it exists.. try the PLATFORMS link

You are not too clear, however I'll take a guess ..

1) Booting from CD ... older CD drives fitted to PE26xx range do not recognize Windows 2003 bootable install CD's .. the TS-L462C (a laptop drive) should be compatible with the PE 2650 (I know it works in my 2600)

2) Installing the Operating System onto the PERC SCSI Array drives .. a total pain .. with older OS (Windows 2000) you can use the 4 x floppy disk set to install and hit (F6 ? as I recall) to tell it to 'load a 3rd party driver' ... get the PERC drivers from the Dell site.

Alternative = toss the useless Tape Drive and install a set of SATA drives in the same space (a 3 drive Hot Swap caddy eclosure will fit = Icy Box or StarTech) .. you will need a PCI RAID card (such as Si3124) since the M'Bd has nothing but a combined floppy/TapeDrive IDE interfafce.

3) Finally, be aware that this is a SERVER level box .. spare parts & Dell 'official' upgrades are going to cost you an arm & a leg = and don't even ask what the special 'ECC parity' Memory sticks cost :-)

Please be more specific. You haven't actually asked a question. What are you trying to do? What happens that you aren't expecting?

Computer not recognizing the hard drive. Look in BIOS to see if hard drive is listed. Reload system disc/CD.

driver here hp v165w driver

It could be a couple of things 1. the computer Cpu fan is not working or is clogged inspect it and clean or replace.2 The power supply could be bad

Namrata_stha, The I912 error is referring to the System Event Log is full of events and because of this is unable to log anymore. You must clear the log in order for the Server Management controller to log any more events. Now depending on the OS installed there are different ways to clear it. If Windows Server 2k8 you would use this command - wevtutil el ' foreach { wevtutil cl $_ } Where with Server 2003 you can go tot he Event viewer and clear it. Let me know if this helps.

what is your server model? in most cases you can use the operating disc to format the server drives

Go to start menu. click on 'control panel'. Select 'system and security". Then select 'system'. This should give you the info.

You will have to get into the controlled setup in order to find out what the problem is, or you can simply hit ctrl-D and do the Dell disk diagnostics which will take an hour or more, but will give you an idea of where to start. Logically, if it won't boot, then your RAID is probably broken. it can sometimes be repaired through either the RAID or controller setup menu, which you can see during boot. go here, for the manuals and documentation on how to do that: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/poweredge-t105/manuals

Is it in a 1, 3, 2 beep pattern (beep....beep, beep, beep........beep, beep)? If so, the memory is either not seated well or may be bad. Try reseating your memory. If it continues, try with one stick at a time just to see if it will boot up with a display.Thanks,--Brian

What question do you have about your battery? Do you need to order one or are you experiencing low battery life?

Kindly start windows in safe mode by pressing F8 key while powering up, Goto device manager and uninstall any new installed drivers or device. Regards,Kaushik Patel

You can download the service manual from Dell`s website or either check some youtube tutorials if available.

Please replace CMOS battery and then will not be losing time.Regards,Kaushik Patel

Step 1:

First open look on the back off your pc and see if you have an onboard video card (closer to the power supply and pointed up and down or one much lower down towards the last two-thirds off the case....

Step 2:

If you have an onboard I would think it's toast but if you have a seperate video card swap it out for another one and if that don't work I would guess it's your motherboard.....

Hello here is the homepage:http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/Product/poweredge-r710Yes, that will be okay.But a SSD harddrive is much faster, than the old mecanical one.I know they are a little more expensive, but you will see a speed improvement, you have newer seen before.Good luck
