Glad you enjoyed it. Congrats on your new R610! :-) Check out my video series on the R710 as a lot of that info will apply to the R610; it's like the 1U version of R710 basically.

nice video :D i love my R610, it's so quiet. i also just installed a Nvidia Quadro K2000 in my R710 running UnRaid and it works well for plex.

the R610 is such a nice 1U server and with two X5675 (95W) CPU's in it you can install 192GB of ram which is amazing, that's what i did with mine.

Yeah, it's as powerful as the R710 from a compute standpoint. It's just more compact so has less space for storage. BTW, I believe you can max out the RAM to 384GB!

@@ArtofServer i can't remember from the last time i checked but i don't think you can go that high given the number of ram slots it has or if you can it would be with the most powerful cpu it can handle which is the X5690 if i am correct. i do have two X5690 cpu's but there 130W and the last time i installed them with the correct heatsinks and power supplies i just couldn't get the fans to drop below like 3,600 rpm so i took them out, i never tried a custom fan script back then but even if you get it to go quieter it most likely wouldn't take long for the temperature to get too high.

Thanks for sharing. How many GPUs we can fit in R620 and R710?

@ArtofServer

I believe the R620 can only fit 3 at most if you have the 3x LP version. The R710 can maybe fit 3 or 4? But you have to open up the PCIe slots and it depends on how much power they will draw and if you are able to supply power beyond the PCIe slot's capacity.

When using this riser board, has anyone come across the following error?

Thanks for the video. I got a Dell T620 and bought a Quadro K2000 which thought was compatible. Managed to get it working with ESXi but when shutting down the VM it was attached to it caused a reboot of the ESXi host and bus errors in the iDRAC logs. I had a 8x PCIe nVME card in the same slot and that worked fine. The K2000 is a 55w card and from what I found the Dell T620 should be good for 75w in the x16 slots. Any idea what could cause this?? It has the 740w PSUs and currently had 2 x 2.5 SAS drives, 3 x 3.5 SATA drives, 1 Quad 1Gb NIC and a dual port 10Gb NIC. I love the Dells and more recently bought a 2nd hand Dell R730 for home use too.

@ArtofServer

I don't know for sure, as I haven't encountered that problem myself. It could be related to PCIe bus reset issues for that particular card/driver. I assume you did a PCIe pass-through of the device to the VM? Perhaps when it shuts down, the driver used in the VM OS is not resetting the PCIe card correctly on the bus, causing the bus to hang. That's what it sounds like to me...

@@ArtofServer Thanks very much I'll have a bit more of a play once I've sorted me network and VMs out a bit. Yes passthrough was enabled.

Can you remove the riser board and have total access to the base PCIe x16 port? This way you would bet all the lanes and bandwidth from your x16 video card.

@ArtofServer

2 жыл бұрын

I don't think so. There's a bit more to the riser than just extension of the PCIe lanes. Dell usually has a sensor signal on these, as well as some of a lid switch.

these big server boards and enclosures have always fascinated me. Also why do Dell not put an open PCIe slot like it's often done on normal desktop boards if they are going to be used with all possible cards? seems not thought through to me.

These particular servers are a bit older and back when they were new, it was not common to stick a GPU in a server. If you got to the 12th gen servers and newer, they do have better options to accommodate a GPU.

Hello, I purchased and installed one of your modified risers and it works awesome, thank you. I used it to install a Quadro K2200 GPU; however, I am getting no video out of the DP cable to my main monitor. I was able to get the display with a VGA plugged into the front. I can see the graphics card in the BIOS through the IRQ allocation area. I did notice that the GPU shares the IRQ with several other different slots, so I didn't know if that's the reason that it's not displaying over the PCIe GPU. I haven't installed an OS yet as I'm waiting on 2 new HDDs and upgraded CPUs (2 x Xeon X5675). I wanted to update the BIOS and the iDRAC and whatever else I could from USB. Luckily, the BIOS is already the latest. Are there any tricks to getting the video out from the PCIe GPU? Thanks in advance.

@ArtofServer

2 жыл бұрын

You can't use the GPU for primary video output. The system bios was never designed to output console to a add on GPU. That will always be from the onboard vga graphics. The GPU can be used for other purposes.

I've done just that in my R510 with a SATA ssd as a boot drive. It was a bit tricky to convince the bios to boot from it, but lets me use all eight 3.5" bays for storage drives (8x6TB!). I also found it easier to cut down the x16 connector on a video card to X8, than to cut out that stupid slot end.

Hi There, Newbie here, I have a Dell Poweredge R720, would I need to change a riser card in the system? it says there's a Matrox G200eR2 Embedded Video Controller installed. also what GPUs should I be looking at? thanks Hayward

@ArtofServer

2 жыл бұрын

The R720 generation of servers usually already have a x16 slot for GPUs and also have a connector on the riser to provide auxiliary power for GPUs. However, keep in mind an add-on GPU is not to replace the onboard Matrox video because console output will not go to the add-on GPU. This is mainly for GPGPU applications or passthrough to VMs.

All the servers have onboard VGA video output. It's only good for basic console output though. Yes, you can add a separate GPU, but you cannot output console to the add-on GPU. You can however, make your OS output the GUI via the GPU once the system is booted up.

I found a guy locally who has (5) R610 dual Xeon X5660, 24gb, 717Wpsu's. no drives, caddys, rails, os or coa's. Not seeing an Idrac in photos either. needed? I was originally only going to get 2 servers for myself, then a buddy wanted one, but for an extra hundred i could get all 5. fixing to grab those Monday. thinking of flipping the other two. are there people still interested in these? seems like the 710, 20 series are popular. While 4 servers in my rack would be cool, I really would like to trade two of those out for a couple disk shelves, Any thoughts or recommendations? Greatly appreciated! ~B

This is something i'm currently investigating. If you use a smaller form factor GPU, like Quadro P400, it's not a problem to fit into the R620. But a full height P2000 requires the R620 with 2 PCIe slots (full+half) at least, but there might not be enough length space. This last bit is what I hope to figure out, but I do not currently have a 2 PCIe slot R620.
