This was my works active server until a few months ago. Going to fire it up soon and get it fully working like I did with the last batch of servers I received.
Last time a lot of you said dont even power it on due to power consumption, I do not care about the power costs. Unless you pay my bill, dont worry how power hungry it is smh
I have one of those, still works!
DL370 G6 I believe I have. It’s currently running my home automation. Swapped the fans for a custom setup and tricked the ILO with an esp 8266.
Works like a dream. Cost…nothing ✨ My favourite number 😎
> This was my works active server until a few months ago. Honestly bud your employer was incredibly stingy if those were just pulled from service. Look up the warranty details to see how they most likely expired sometime around 2009. I wouldn’t want to work for that company, those things belonged in a dumpster 10 years ago. Yikes.
Wow, that takes me back. I ran one of those for years with the 18.2G drives…
Loud as hell, power-hungry as hell, super long boot times… but it was a golden time in my life and I kinda wish I could go back to. Right in the feels sir, right in the feels.
Wow, that takes me back.
Same. I still remember when I took the last one of these out of service at my job. It was a well equipped version and was fully populated with 300GB SCSI drives in a RAID-5.
Yeah, now I feel old. How did that become ancient? 😂😂
Very cool older tech stack. I would rock that at the house, at least part time, just for shits and grins.
Fine, u don’t mind power consumption, how about noise levels?
I said it’s good to play with but don’t bother using it for a serious lab long term.
It is approaching winter in Northern hemisphere, so no better time I guess 🤣
The first 380 with 64 bit support if i remember correctly
For Retro stuff, is very good. Like tinkering with old OS, old standard etc.
I wanna stand up a netware server at some point but it’s also kind of intimidating as someone over a decade younger than netware lol.
Question, why would you want some old hot and power hungry server?
Copper in those heatsinks is worth more than the server
I have 7 ML350G4 and G4p packed with 7 330gb scsi drives and maxed out ram. Got them running esxi 5.5 server 2008r2 and ubuntu server 20.04lts. Hoping one day someone will want to start a museum lol
There’s one of these sitting in our office right now. It was used in production and when removed a lecturer wanted it to show to students or something, so it spent years kicking about various classrooms and locations. It has since come back to us because… I’m not sure why.
Still fun to see it. :)
Yall used that thing at still?? Hope it wasn’t doing anything super important XDDD
watch out. its Active!
