Hehe no worries, I’m actually a New Zealander 🇳🇿 living in Denmark 🇩🇰 now. I thought I’d try out my Danish. Cheers for your top videos mate. I’ve just started a new IT role working with Servers of all types. I’ve come from a desktop background, I’ve got so much to learn!!!!
Hello!! When you do a video of reparation of mother or explain the replacement of chip VRM VT261 in a server? If you not have a server with this problem, you can do a video explain the procedure of replacement. Regard from Argentina and sorry by my english.
Web dev work, and more. Mostly lab work. I thought if you have not looked in to it you may want to. I know you are big in hardware but on a software layer there are some nice stacks out there for it. every thing from web hosting to plex, and more.
Hi sogndal94 Thank You very much! right now I am messing with 24 x 600GB SAS drives that is formated in NetApp´s 520Bit,, and converting them to 512B,,, they need to be low level formatted,,, that takes forever! Thank you for watching! :-)
Noise on USB means double insulated/unearthed anything without an earth pin will cause that, earthed usb adaptors are hard to come by, (the server is earthed so even though it's low amperage it is earthed so obviously there wasn't any need to worry). I only have apple adaptors and you have to use their optional long leads or get one and cut short to make it earthed and portable, even the included adaptors are unearthed even though the charger itself has the metal pin and is capable of being used earthed, sad how companies prefer to save pennies on earthing.
i think he means acoustically coupled noise I heard very low hum (NOT MAINS HUM) on my subwoofer theatre system when watching the clips, so it's basically audio coupling along the cable ! Just my thoughts :-)
Its an awesome server but what I was wondering, is this a special 1U version or does the model number x3550 mean that already ? I believe your model3 servers are all double the height of this one right ?
IBM made 1U versions as well as 2U. So the 3550 is a 1U version and the 3650 is a 2U, etc. There are multiple models in the range of different sizes. For example, I have 3x 3850 servers and the M1 version is 3U and the M2 version is 4U. Different strokes for different folks.
Just today I put some more memory in my beautiful Tower DELL Poweredge T320 which I bought over in Hungary (actually brought it up from 4x 4GB DDR3 to 4x 16GB DDR3 Registered Memory). Just got it 2 more Blocks of the same Samsung Partnumber just today, which should be in the post anytime soon... With its 6 Core 12 Threads Xeon E5 CPU it should be well suited for my needs, over the weekend I replaced all the Harddrives in it an set them up for Raid. And I put a real nvme m.2 drive in it, a Intel 600p 512 GB for a MS SQL Server or such...
Yea, I don't touch Lenovo servers due to the Chinese ARM chipset that they have control over. Bad news and is why the product line is black listed by the US Gov. Don't get me wrong .US base hardware has it too but that is US base and I live and work in the US. Looked like you had a lot of fun there! You did good...
@@MyPlayHouse That does not surprise me much. lol It is fun to play as I do the same as you. You have a good show and I check it from time to time. As for the Chinese... Where did you think they got the idea from... Just they needed to do it in a better way. Looking forward to your next video. Check mine out sometime. I work more to the protocols of IT then to the hardware and core hardware design is what I know... Later dude!
Hey Morten, after all your great videos i decided to buy my own x3650, and today my beautiful x3650 M1 7979B5G arrived :)) ...and with it a lot of questions. First up, the rails. Right now i have no way to get this beauty in my rack, and the 40k6591 rails i found cost 150€, thats more than the Server with 24GB RAM and 2 Quad Cores O.o Where did you bought your rails ? Then there is the riser card, i need at least 1 quad port NIC, i found PCI-X NICs for only 20€, but PCI-E start at arround 50... is there a big difference between them ? Next question, how are these 3.5" slot covers called ? And another question, is it possible to access ESXi from one of the 2 Gigabit LAN Ports, or can you set it up that only the management port is allowed to do something ? Aaaaaaaand anoter question, can you run XPEnology on ESXi, or do you have to run it on the server itself ? I have probably more questions that i luckly can't think of right now, but it would be great if you could help me to understand 1-2 of those questions :) EDIT: Oh found another question :P You already made a video about expanding a RAID 5 on your M5015, but is it possible to lets say add 2 new drives to an existing RAID 6 with ESXi on it, running on a x3650 ?
Good morning, let me tell you that I am having problems with a x3550 M4. After turning it off, it does not normally turn on. The indicator led on the motherboard tells me to check system board. I have disassembled and cleaned everything and updated the MM2 to no avail. What else can I check? Thank you
@@MyPlayHouse lol yeah those are old. That server is actually still in use from time to time but the energy costs have forced me to stop using it 24/7. Also I've now got a Dell R710 which is much more quiet so it doesn't need to be left in the basement like the x3550
Hello My Playhouse, I have an issue with this type of server. The diagnostic leds of Over Spec and Board are on. The server does not turn on. It could be the system battery or the system board. I am trying to get the battery (which is the cheapest option). Can you tell me what kind of battery i should get? it looks like a watch battery Thank you in advance
Hi Mariela Davila I do not think a bad bios battery will prevent the server from booting but,,, the battery is a CR2032,,, and widely available of r next to nothing. Thank you for watching! :-)
There might also just not be enough power for the server to run ??systemx.lenovofiles.com/help/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.lenovo.sysx.7944.doc%2Fr_light_path_diagnostics_table.html
Hello My PlayHouse, I checked the link and it guided me to open the server and see 3 lights on the board. Stanby Power LED is constantly on. RTMM heartbeat LED is blinking, and IMM2 heartbeat LED is blinking. Oh, I also noticed the DC light on power supply off. Any Ideas? Thank you
friend, I bought a new xeon processor, the old one was 2620 v2 the new 2695 v2, but I can not connect anymore the computer gets only one on the dark screen, could you give me an idea about what could be wrong? thank you!
Hi Khoa Võ Đăng Lenovo brought up IBM's Server business,, so now this is an Lenovo server,, but it was made by IBM... glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)
You should definitely check out netboot.xyz, you can burn it on a USB, CD or just boot using PXE Network. It's like a boot-menu where you can select most Linux distro's, I believe ESXi and Windows ISOs (only if you host them yourself or if you know a site that hosts them)

Hi Morten, I'm playing for my first time with servers and a IBM x3550 m4 has come to me. I replaced the board, CPU's, and added PSU, 4fancoolers (still need 2more for the second cpu) and the backplanes, there weren't any of batteries (the ones behind the backplanes) are they needed? I've followed through all the tutorial for the disk and raid configuration, but when I start the installation from a bootable usb with esxi iso, I don't get to see the hard drive, I only see the pendrive, any idea why?
Hello...i recently received a x3560 m4 with post error after a uefi firmware update. The server doesn't display video and imm show problems with bios and post any idea how to sove it. ? THANK YOU
Sorry to hear that... first you take anything not necessary out of the server,, absolute minimum, to see if it is a card, HDD, RAM block, raid controller etc. There is this problem,, that is killing that model : ua-cam.com/video/zl4iDxGD7cQ/v-deo.html
im in thailand outside air temp 35C humidty 80% phew, normal, just got cheap 3550M2 and really wanted to find out about IBM platforms before switch on, it's oustdie "warming up" as the idiot company brought it in a freezer van (very cold delivery) so condensation inside anyway will try it soon, altho different from your one I am VERY GLAD to see this video, so I know how to prepare myself, I started in 1979 on 16 bit BIG BOXES with piano keys on the front and paper tape so please laugh at me!!!!. Thanks so much for primer on BIOS / CPU board, plug ins, connectors (^%$£ "on the ferry" ) everything so now I am off to blow myself up, ok, only thing here that is cold here is the beer. Good luck, I love your house full of stuff, I had once in UK but it was radio/government tech equipment and caused marriage break up - but coming to Thailand where the beer is cold, the food is cheap new marriage, and the surplus IBM servers are only 100 EU, :-)
You are in luck,, I have made many videos on IBM servers.. with the x3550 M2,, you are interested in videos on x3550 M2 and M3 and also the x3650 M2/M3 wil be helpful for you.

already have more then enough servers, tho still would need an IBM server as that would be the 1st IBM in my rack, i generally stick to SuperMicro for my servers and LSI and 3ware for my RAID / HBA Controllers
So basically people are giving away perfectly working servers because they cannot read serigraphy on motherboards and mess with jumpers? I wanna move to DK!

The US is one of the cheapest places for used hardware!!
Thank you for watching! :-)
So basically people are giving away perfectly working servers because they cannot read serigraphy on motherboards and mess with jumpers?
I wanna move to DK!
Hi DanieleBecchetti
You know,, if this was an expensive sewing machine, and you got it for free , but did not know what to do with it or if it worked at all,, would you not try give it to someone that could get something good out of it?
Thank you for watching! :-)
Yep...usually i'm the one who would like to get it for free. By the way...DK is a great place to be. I've been in Copenhagen for a while for work (i'm an IT in a DK pharma company).
Continue with your videos. :)
