Just bought a new proliant dl380 g5, its neat plan on maybe making a vps. Does any body know if their is a setting in the bios to enable the optical drive? It won't eject or flash but it is plugged in.

*dl360

Could be a dead drive. What are you trying to install? Could use a USB to boot it.

Did that, esxi. Just wandered if maybe I was doing something wrong.

Well the BIOS wouldn't stop it from flashing the lights or powering on. Sounds like its just dead.

Thank you, luckily I can return it.

Haha, good one

What? Not for renting or anything. Just fucking around.

It's still a shit choice. G6 or later, nothing else.

Couldn't afford it, I sold a poweredge 1650 for it.

Are you European?

Eject and reseat it.

The 360 will boot from USB. It will also support ILO media and console, if the ILO license is installed. But the media function is SLOW.

Nope. I got the servers from some college that was upgrading.

Yes I already installed an OS from USB and I also tried that, but thank you regardless.

Throw that shit away. It's going to suck power and not be very useful.

Well i'm not doing anything commercial with it so it's useful for me to use as a file storage server and screw around with esxi.

Aight, enjoy that power bill my nigga

Ill try, its pretty bad as it is. Only part im concerned about is the noise.

>worried about noise
You're in for a rude awakening.

Trust me, i know.

someone jelly

Any idea on what VM's I should run? It's config is:
2x Xeon 5160 ( meh )
16gb ECC 1333mhz
2x 73 SAS drives

Why would I be jealous of literal scrap electronics when I have DL380 G7s?

>G5
>mfw we scrap perfectly functioning G5's daily at work just because we're running out of rackspace in the lab
