That adapter in your case would just power the fans at 12 volts, Unless you purchase 4 pin PWM fans. Also notice on the close up pics, only one fan has one header with a RPM reading.
First off the only difference between a 4 pin header and a 3 pin is that last pin is used for Pulse Width Modulation for precise fan speed control. In your case that pin would be left open and the other 3 pins are the same (power, ground and RPM). I have never tried using a Y adapter to power...
I'm in the process of picking / scrounging the parts to build mine, The only PIII I still have laying around is a dually, may go with an Athlon. Win98 FTW!
Actually the list price for that PSU is $49.99. At least they are high temp (105C), keep em cool and they should be fine. I work in the coin op industry, we have Motherboards / PSU's from the early 90's still running 24/7. Bad caps may not be as big of an issue as it once was, but if your's...
I guess SETI has a soft spot in my heart being the first DC project I ran, I remember having it running on like 4 computers in my bedroom on all the screens, I knew I was hooked. I also remember FoldServer being my first entry into the PXE world, and having to get an [H] member (I'm so bad with...
Thanks for the warm welcome back, I didn't realize how much I missed DC projects. What are some recommendations for BIONC projects that can be ran on older equip (at least the ones I listed so far) and I'd like to stick to cancer and or medical research if possible. After I get that going I...
So what's changed since... ah hell I never was a "folding expert", I've been in and out of it for about 10 years. I've always made due with whatever hardware I could get my hands on (e.g. my cousins get a new SNES, We bought their old NES). I have a humble home network that still includes a...
I have a Gateway E-9520T Server, I have been trying to install any drive in the front cages to no avail. So far I have been running from the onboard SATA connector (Mobo has them labeled as SATA0 and SATA5), although when testing I disconnect this OS Drive. I have tried multiple drives (making...
Actually I am shorting the green wire (PWR ON) to ground with the relay contacts, and the coil is just wired to the 12v on the first PSU. I've never heard of using the grey wire (PWR GOOD) as a trigger. AFAIK the PWR Good signal is initially LOW ( 0v ) until the power supply has stabilized all...
Ok, Thanks a lot for the input, It really got me on the right track. I've been using my server 2008 machine more and more and finally ran across a solution for windows machines
net rpc shutdown -I 192.168.5.210 -U administrator%lamepassword
The guide is here, Must have samba and all that jazz
AFAIK transformers only work with an alternating current, there may be a way to boost it with a dc to dc converter circuit but you would loose a lot of energy in the process and drain your battery way faster
Ok so far I have 3 VM's that shutdown correctly with my script
sudo vmrun stop /var/lib/vmware/Shared\ VMs/Server\ 2003/Server\ 2003.vmx
ssh freebsd 'poweroff'
ssh -l root 192.168.5.150 'poweroff'
Using the same command (and many variations) I can't seem to get my server 2008 VM to shut down...
Not a bad idea, It took me a few minutes to get it working on freeBSD and CentOS since they were a little different. I used ssh-keygen and ssh-copy-id commands to setup no password and the command "ssh Hostname 'poweroff'. I seem to have Server 2003 working besides the fact I have to sudo my...
Here's the setup: VM Workstation 10 running on Ubuntu Server 12.04LTS, a few virtual clients including but not limited to FreeBSD, CentOS (UDAserver to be specific), Windows server etc.
I am trying to find an easy solution to soft power all these machines before rebooting or shutting down my...
I do not seem to have a /var/log/messeges file, and I didn't see anything in the dmesg output although it's kind of a lot to go through. I have since commented out all lines in the /etc/init/tty2.conf - tty6.conf files, and that works for now. All this has been done by SSH, I haven't had a...
Well that should be easier to read, any other commands I should post output from?
ps 1100 1096 1095 1086 1076
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
1076 ? Rs 13:32 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty4
1086 ? Rs 13:45 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty5
1095 ? Rs 13:33 /sbin/getty -8...
Thank you for the reply, I really hoped that was what I was looking for. I ran the commands and then rebooted the server with my fingers crossed, but it was no go. I have a feeling it is some kind of log file that is getting too large, as described in the link you provided, I just can't seem...
I have since gone through and reconfigured all devices on the network, DD-WRT confused me a little bit but I finally figured it out. I had DHCP forwarding on (Which didn't have any clients anways) and needed to select DHCP server before it gave me an option to disable it. I also disabled...
I have a server out in my workshop running ubuntu 12.04 that keeps getting these getty processes that peg out the CPU's to 100%. After I kill them in htop the cpu usage drops to about 2-3% under minimal load.
I have googled the problem quite a lot but haven't been able to find a fix that...
In my Home network I have several routers, although my main router/firewall is an ipcop machine. I noticed after upgrading some of my wireless routers ( I have 3...) to DD-WRT I have the option to disable routing. I'm wondering if this will mean that IPCOP will do all the routing throughout the...
So... I was overclocking my old Venice Athlon 64 and hit a roadblock around 220mhz FSB, I tried several things including bumping up the cpu volt just a tad. This caused the machine to go to a black screen and refuse to boot. I finally narrowed the "bottleneck" to being the cheap power supply...
Wow good to know! I ended up using a windows based boot disk and it was able to resize the partition accordingly. But that info will deffinatly come in handy in the future, as we use raids occasionally and I don't think my windows disk can handle linux drives. Thanks!
Thank you for the replies! I have been using the clonezilla live cd with some success, the main problem I am having now is with a windows image. The target and destination drives are both 160gb (I am not transferring from drive to drive, I am saving an image to local disk), but when I try to...
I've spent the last few days researching online for a solution to my problem and have come up dry so far. I'm trying to make backup hard drive images to be saved to a computer and restored whenever necessary. The drives all run different os's and have weird partitions I'm not even sure what...
Ok my setup is an Intel 2.8C (Ubuntu 9.10 alt.), 3com 905x network cards, and a HP 2650 Switch. I am trying to bond two interfaces for the DHCP/LTSP side of the network. The primary card goes to another switch and IPCop router. My problem is I'm getting no connectivity on the HP switch side...
Hey guys, I'm working on getting fedora installed on a thumbdrive for my fileserver, and also for a gameserver. So far I've had a few problems, when I install straight from DVD, I have problems with it hanging during boot. I tried using a live version on the thumbdrive, but had problems...
I love em, got the laptop fed into the line in also. They were normally 300$, but for some reason were priced 60$ in a local compusa :D
Ha, the first thing I ever bought with ebay :p
This is my current workstation, it has seen many configurations, but I like this fairly well. It's about the best I can do on my budget, which isn't much :o. If anything catches your eye I have some worklogs on my website. And a few youtube videos under the username ibanez3434
More Ghetto Goodness :p
