No but you can remotely mount an ISO image and boot it. Super handy feature!

No it won't but I can format the box using my CD/DVD drive on my laptop. I also 
have a box with ISO's on it in the DC that I work off of.

 Steve,
 You have a point but you can't cycle the power with KVM over VOIP. The DC 
 is
 staffed 24/7 but it takes time till they pick up, reboot the server etc.
 Also who wants to pay them to format a box if I can do it remotely ;)


   
 That is why I have web switches. Pricey for what they do but well worth
 it when you need it, plus they are very well constructed.

Who needs DVDs and CDs when you have 10MB down and 8MB up FIOS speeds?

Just leave a copy of your install DVD/CD in the drive and make it the 
third or forth boot option after you primary HDs (or whatever). 

Better yet, G4U can be a nice little disc to leave in there if you have 
a good image.

Thanks,
Steve

I bought a nic card for my APC3000 UPS because I was led to believe it
could turn on an off all of the 8 power points independently but have
never been able to work out how to do this.

Anyone know how to do this?

I have an APC3000 and don't believe that is possible.  When I changed the

I know I've read it somewhere about the 'nic card' description, but as
they are cross model compatible I assumed I read it incorrectly and
although this card offers it - the base unit was a different (read
newer- as my unit is over 4-5 years old)

I have used both the powedge line for large deployments and the
Optiplex N series for small offices. The only thing I have had to add
to the pc's is 12 power extensions at times and here lately I have
had a pc or 2 without the 4 pin molex connector so I had to find SATA
to molex adapters.

Re: [asterisk-users] OT: DELL Platforms

2007-08-27 Thread Joel Hill
Hi, About 2 years ago we made the decision to ship exclusively Dell
servers. Mostly we have shipped the 860 rackmount with a config of a
basic dual core proc couple gig of RAM and a pair of 75GB HDDs in RAID
1. And they are great but we put a limit of about 30 concurrent calls
through it.
 That being said we have got larger installs too, we are running 2 of
the older 2950's as a fully redundant load balancing pair. For a call
center of around 160.

The only thing I would watch for is with the 860 the TE110p doesn't
work. The TE120p is fantastic no problems but the older card had some
incompatibility. Other than that I've never had one skip a beat, so I
hope you have the same luck.

Cheers,

Joel Hill

Re: [asterisk-users] OT: DELL Platforms

2007-08-27 Thread Craig Guy
I've run up to 50 concurrent calls on the PE850 and PE860 using TE205p.

I also came across the te110p issue which manifests itself as popping and
crackling audio.  It is rather insidious as zttest is fine, the problem does
not appear to be missed interrupts.  In my case the Digium distributor
refused to take back the card (we were within the 30 day return period), so
I only buy Sangoma now.
