Dell PowerEdge PE2950 System Board OEM/ODM
Hi all
Does anyone know which OEM/ODM makes the system board (motherboard) for the Dell PowerEdge PE2950? Even better if someone knows the model number too -) I believe PE1950 and PE1955 use the same board too. I am considering buying one of these for my company but we do have a bunch of old legacy peripherals and applications, and if I know the original board mfr. this might help work out what is going to work and what won't ahead of time. Thanks! Kenneth |

Thanks for the response.
I know that Dell use Foxconn, Quanta and ASUSTek for some of their kit but I am not too sure about their server ranges; we do have some eclectic apps and peripherals, and in any case I would be interested to know. I have searched around but haven't seen any other whitebox boards or chassis with the mix of dual LGA-771 Socket (aka Socket J), Intel 5000X chipset and the Broadcom NIC's, asides from models from IBM and HP. (Maybe all three are using the same supplier, who knows.) TBH there seems to be a complete dearth of white-box boards for dual LGA-771, but that would be another discussion for another newsgroup. In any case would be curious to know. cheers, Kenneth It's a Dell, I suspect. Dell has boards built to their specs by a number of manufacturers. They often resemble other vendor's motherboards, but differ is subtle ways. That said, they're pretty standard, so unless you have weird peripherals, they should work. Tom |

It looks like the motherboard alone has no ports but, rather every thing is on plug in risers. http://support.dell.com/support/edoc...0/en/index.htm |

Hi
Have already read those and more. Like any small form factor system the motherboard will use riser cards for expansion cards; but that was not my question here. regards Kenneth Go here and read the various docs.

If you can get the machine set up for test pretty quickly you can probably get your answer well within the return period. Just a thought. |

Hi
Good bit of lateral thinking; unfortunately here in Europe you usually have to sue or at least threaten to sue Dell before they will take anything back, unless you are a consumer or you are a really large company with Gold service support etc. or you can easily prove it was a machine defect. In the case of an in-house app. which pukes that would be impossible. I think they are a bit more customer-focussed in the States. That is another discussion (which I don't propose kicking off here), but of course I would rather increase my chances of knowing everything works first time around, and I am also just a bit curious what stuff they are putting into the servers these days. cheers, Kenneth Ken - As an aside, you know you have 21 days from invoice with which to return the unit if the apps gack, right?
