This was my works active server until a few months ago. Going to fire it up soon and get it fully working like I did with the last batch of servers I received.
Last time a lot of you said dont even power it on due to power consumption, I do not care about the power costs. Unless you pay my bill, dont worry how power hungry it is smh
Copper in those heatsinks is worth more than the server
These guys need a lot of juice.
I have one of those, still works!
The mix and match of 36.4 GB and 72.8 GB drives/carriers concerns me, traditionally a G4 server should be one or the other. The mix and match of Disk-1 and Disk-5 being different from the rest means either improperly labeled drives or someone has utterly lost their mind.
I also have to wonder regarding the absence of any 18.2 GB drives, though…a pair of those are *supposed* to be RAID 1 for the OS.
(I may have some unfortunate memories from this particular version…I think this was the last of the 32 bit servers from HP, and I hated it from the very bottom of my heart.)
One of the first I ever owned. Sniff.
maybe not as ancient as this but i accidentally said yes to a dell poweredge 1950 for free and now i have it in my room. untested but i know it has 16gb of ram and 2 4 core 4 thread xeon cpus
DL370 G6 I believe I have. It’s currently running my home automation. Swapped the fans for a custom setup and tricked the ILO with an esp 8266.
Works like a dream. Cost…nothing ✨ My favourite number 😎
These are cool. Used to be the workhorses of the internet - and a lot of other things.
OP what o/s are you /will you run on it?
I have just got a Sun v60x that has a corrupt version of Debian Etch on it. What do you think I should put on it?
Love your style :)
“i dont care about power… Unless you pay my power bill…”
But, but think of the children and your carbon footprint and all those greenhouse gasses using all that power will create…that impacts everyone. Lol /S
Eh, I have a G8 and honestly it’s not cutting it anymore, it’s been relegated to EVE-NG on demand and otherwise sits powered off. Can’t imagine what use a G4 would be other than to increase the electricity bill.
Ancient? Okay, I’ll shut down the business.
Holy cow.
> This was my works active server until a few months ago. Honestly bud your employer was incredibly stingy if those were just pulled from service. Look up the warranty details to see how they most likely expired sometime around 2009. I wouldn’t want to work for that company, those things belonged in a dumpster 10 years ago. Yikes.
I had this exact model run for 12 years nonstop with zero failures.
You should open a museum
Unironically the fact that there aren’t far more computer museums than there are now is a travesty
Wow, that takes me back. I ran one of those for years with the 18.2G drives…
Loud as hell, power-hungry as hell, super long boot times… but it was a golden time in my life and I kinda wish I could go back to. Right in the feels sir, right in the feels.
Yeah, now I feel old. How did that become ancient? 😂😂
Wow, that takes me back.
Same. I still remember when I took the last one of these out of service at my job. It was a well equipped version and was fully populated with 300GB SCSI drives in a RAID-5.
