• PITA POS Dell Server

    5/13/2008

    So I’ve been dealing with one of our ancient Dell 4300 servers. This thing is a beast, weighs in ~70lbs and it only has two 400Mhz Pentium3 processors in it. So it’s been hanging on boot up complaining about firmware being out of date. I was unable to get into the bios, or the utility module since it would just hang there.

    The solution: unplug the mouse…:sigh:

    Unplugging the mouse eliminated the firmware error messages and the damn thing booted right up…Really…The mouse…:shakes head and goes back to work:

      That is what you get for having a Dell, We have a Dell server we have to run with the lid off, if its on it BOS lid off runs great..or at least until it burns up.
