    13:45 This is the reason I don't use static straps and train new techs to condition themselves to touch the metal of the server case or any other metal outside the case, i.e., table, rack, workbench, etc., before sticking their grubby paws into a PC or server.

    Those look like Xeon processors, not Xenon, unless they started filling them with a gas that I wasn't aware of.

    I think you are going to be ram starved....... Only kidding lol!

    Would have been a lot easier to get to the ram if you removed the fan tray
    Using a ground strap to a case that doesn't have a power cable connected to ground doesn't ground you

      You learn something new every day! I will revisit my grounding methodology

    I wouldn't us the mx SSD drives as they don't trim correctly in prixmox as well as true as

      Can you provide more info about this? I’ve never heard that before and want to research. I am planing to do the SSD boot upgrade on my R720xd this week!

    what are you doing with all that RAM on the server?

    • @dleer_defi
      @dleer_defi  Před měsícem

      The ram will support 8 vms along with my NAS.

      @dleer_defi it sounds like you have way more RAM than you will need, but go big or go home I guess.

      @@robertj1138probably 😂 I am on a quest to show that older server hardware is not e-waste and we can still build overkill setups with it

      ​@@dleer_defi I have a Dell r710 running happily with proxmox installed and about 10 vm and 15 containers, yes it's old but it works.
      The only issue is the power consumption and electricity costs in the UK..
