So, I left voicemails with my rep, sent an email to his supervisor as well as to several other people I have worked with at Dell with NO response whatsoever. I specifically asked for support for the entire transition BECAUSE the current server has a corrupted operating system and quite frankly, I wasn't sure a migration would even be possible. Further, I have spoken to the team that will be helping with the Exchange server transition from the old server, but they informed me they would only be helping with Exchange. I was told that I would get a percentage back to be used toward the purchase and that a Dell gift card would be issued and also applied to the purchase. I was lied to before the purchase about signing up for a dell advantage account.

Stick with printers HP because your servers are lousy.We recently purchased a PowerEdge T430 server with full support. It's like buying a car and the manufacturer says they will offer you a passenger seat for an additional fee. Something that should have been included in the first place. There is not a single reason in the world that justifies designing a case to only accept 1 drive unless you're trying to make money by selling an "accessory" to the customer. I'm really not upset just very tired of seeing HP make mistakes like this. I think this has made me want to never buy another HP server again for that reason.

They are all designed a little strangely and while they do work are not the easiest things to setup or install right out of the box. I've bought some HP Proliants in the past year or two, ranging from mid level to this one. I knew it didn't have hard drives but what I didn't know is that it would only take a single 3.5" drive. Overall Review: I bought this because it was ridiculously cheap for a Xeon server. However if your plan was to take advantage of RAID you will need to get some duct tape or buy an "accessory" part from HP called a " hard drive enablement kit " for $60. I'm installing a 2.5" SSD for the OS and a 2TB 3.5" for storage. Now there is right above it a place for a 2.5" drive as well. yes ONE slot for a single 3.5" hard drive.
Light weight (since there is nothing in it but a MB, CPU, and PSU)Ĭons: Like the previous reviewer also mentioned, only 1. Like the previous reviewer said, it's got a Xeon in it.Ģ. Also planning on getting a SAS cable and some 2.5 plastic trays to hold them in there will-nilly. No USB 3.0! planning on getting a pci adapter for that. Mobo has an internal USB connector (thus total of 7, 2 front, 4 back, 1 internal). I had to disconnect everything and flash the bios a few times to get it to power up. Almost RMA'd it since on first start I just got yellow blinking error lights and continuous power-up and power-downs. I dropped a 1GB 3 port video card in and it worked fine. (I believe non-ECC memory will NOT work). Also picked up some 40-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ECC Unbuffered DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Server Memory from newegg too.

Also I bought a C2G 32185 USB to PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse Adapter since it has no PS2 connections. I bought a SYBA SD-CM-UAUD USB Stereo Audio Adapter since it has no onboard audio.
Overall Review: I am using this as a dual bootable server/workstation. 1 optical drive tray (could be turned into 2 or 4-2.5 trays with a converter. SAS controller for up to 4 SAS drives, 2 SATA II hubs, great fan ventilation, etcĬons: no racks for storage unless you want to spend $60 on the carrier.
