Hi all
Endace is getting rid of a lot of old server hardware. Some of it is still in reasonable condition, and I can make it available to WLUG members if they are interested.
It's all offered as-is, on a first-come-first-serve basis, and if you say you want it you have to take it away ( we are sending it to an e-waste recycler very soon)
There's two types of system, multiple units of each:
1U, non-redundant PSU (SMC 6015X-TB system), Supermicro X7DBX-i motherboard, dual Xeon X5440 (quad-core, 2.5GHz), 16 or 32 GB (depending on unit) DDR2 667MHz FB DIMMs, IPMI controller, dual gige LAN, 3x SATA disk in hotswap drive bays
3U, 2+1 redundant PSU (Chenbro Chassis), Supermicro X7DBE Motherboard, dual Xeon X5540 (quad-core, 2.5GHz), 16 or 32 GB (dependint on unit) DDR2 667MHz FB DIMMs, IPMI controller, dual gige LAN, 2x 3Ware 9650SE-8LPML RAID controllers, 16 x SATA disk in hotswap drive bays
In both cases, any disks inside them will need to be scrubbed.
If anyone is interested, based on a firm commitment to pick up, please let me know by Friday 5pm.
Email to daniel.lawson@endace.com or daniel@meta.net.nz please
Thanks
Hi Folks,
I've written to Daniel to commit that I'd like, and I'm prepared to pick up, 3 x 1U servers.
I am opting for the 1U servers, as they are almost portable at 4cm x 48cm x 69cm and 17.5kg's.
I envisage that one server could be shared around by members of wlug who would like hands on experience at installing linux server software and practice at server administration.
Another would be available for Te Whare O Te Ata as the community server, should it be deemed suitable.
The third would be for spare parts / could be made available at the Computer Club workshops for experimenting with software installations etc.
With regard to being a replacement server for Te Whare O Te Ata, we can look into the issue of placement, noise, networking cables, etc. at a later stage.
cheers, Ian.

Hi Ian
By doing this you are taking on the risk that they will not find a use and you may end up having to pay to dispose of them. So thanks for giving us the opportunity of learning on them and maybe finding a rel use for them. Let me know if you need a hand with transport or anything.

Hi all
These are now all accounted for.
