Pretty solid machine, better than new generation of HP server in terms of build quality! Also a old 2950 switch behind!

    Just be cautious that the HP backplane can sometimes reject non-hp drives at random with a sensor error for a sensor that doesn’t exist…

      Yeah, I tested some SATA hard drive and it seems to ramp up the fans… compared to when I use the included SAS drives which is pretty silent.

        Mine rejected sata ssds with something like sensor 41 overheating but that sensor doesn’t exist…

          Was there a message somewhere ? On ilo? Where did you find out about this sensors?

            The server refused to boot and the ILO logs reported the error. It’s a false sensor 31.

              Oh wow, yeah weird, my server boot fine with sata and sas hdd (even when mixed) and there are no errors, maybe you got a really weird or broken sata drive? or maybe I got lucky with my drives ?

                Mine worked for months and then one day just never worked again. I have 6 of them as a test cluster for work, only 4 ever went weird. All the same drives, bios etc etc
