      This is really easy to do and track down, but nobody has documented it that I could find. It's mounted on the left side of the chassis.

                Cool, looks like on the manual it ajows the bracket that holds it bur doesn't say the location. Nice to know though. I think it alsk depends pf the RAID card you use too.

                  Yeah, I've had two RAID batteries go bad on me recently, and they always seem to be located "wherever we can fit it in". Would be nice if they'd get them in a single place and drop in replaceable like everything else in there. At least the R510 was easy to trace the cable between the card and battery, forget about trying that on an R900!

                    The Rx10 line should be soon be phased out if you aren't already. I know I'm trying to. Rx20's are still decent though. Hopefully you don't still have 1425s or 2950s anymore...

                      We've got two servers, the R510 and an R900. We have those mostly because we were able to pick them up for the same price of a new NAS.... with a tad bit more functionality thrown in. I know they're getting old and should be switched out in the next year or two.

                          Not sure I completely understand what the SAM-SD approach actually is. I haven't heard of it until, I don't know, a few months ago.

                          From what I understand, it's simply defined as a regular enterprise class server, such as a Dell R420, R610, R730xd, etc... and has internal storage, which is used as a network file server... but using free software such as CentOS instead of Windows?

                          Isn't that just a regular use of a standard file server? What makes an 8-disk Dell R420 SAM-SD and not a standard fileserver instead? Does it need to be a 10,000-node cluster fileserver running free software to be SAM-SD?

                          I've read the articles on it, including how it came to be... maybe I'm just tired or something and need it simplified.

                          Basically, what would I need to do to that example single 8-disk Dell R420 standard-fileserver running Windows Server 20XX to turn it in to a SAM-SD?

                            I'm still finding some more explanations, such as here: https://mangolassi.it/topic/6233/open-storage-operating-systems-for-sam-sd

                            So an R420 with Windows that is used as a fileserver is a SAM-SD? That seems rather, I don't know... standard, and I don't understand why it was given a name other than fileserver.

                              Okay I realize I totally hijacked your thread. Can I get this split off as a new topic in the sam-sd forum?

                                @Tim_G it is a standard file server vs a nas appliance thing

                                  @Tim_G PE 2950 version 3 we still have a full Xencenter 7.1 pool in production with multiple VMs and SANs they still work very adequately 🙂 though we are on R 13 generation phasing them.

                                    I'll do that once I'm at a real computer.
