Description

Machine which possibly can be used to replace our current NetApp based storage. We already replaced some of the fans (one of the case fans, the fan on the Areca card and one CPU fan).

Specs

  • Case is a Chenbro RM31212
  • 2x 64 bit Xeon CPU @ 3GHz [1]
  • Intel Server Board SE7520BD2 [2]
  • 8 RAM slots (DDR2 Reg ECC), currently holding 2x 1GB
  • Power supplies - GIN-6350P (~50 USD second hand)
  • 12 drive trays on the front of the machine
  • 2 SATA ports on-board (1 for system disk and one for SSD cache disk?)

Areca card

  • Areca ARC-1160 v1.0 12 ports SATA controller
  • Management interface on http://192.168.1.48/ (acquired via dhcp, user/pass unknown)

When RAID battery is connected t'll get stuck on boot in "Waiting for F/W to become ready."

OS

  • Debian jessie 64 bits

BIOS shortcuts

  • F2 Setup
  • F12 Boot from network

Todo

  • Fix RAID card issues (no BIOS???)
  • Get SATA disks
  • Move it to the proper VLAN/network
  • Get more RAM (DDR2-400 Reg ECC)
  • Fix Wake On LAN (mac address is already in NURDbot)
