- Bob Pellerin (CTOBOB) looks into what to look for in a used server. Reliable machine can be had. Keep in mind that the more recent a server is, the most likely it will run newer operating systems.
The parts most likely to fail on serves are:
Drives
Power supplies
Fans

i have a r630 and mine is not in a perfect environment. its in my basement, but it hangs on a wall mount. i get easy access for cleaning and temperatures are mostly around 18°C and 30°C depending on if it is summer or winter. And humidity is around 70%. clearly not the best conditions but it works for 4 years now and gets cleaned once a year from dust. also i have a much older server that runs in this condition for 17years now. it gets replaced slowly by the r630. i mean 32gb ram and 4 1.2ghz cpus with 2 cores and no hyperthreading getting pretty old.
i did its job pretty well, but it's getting really expensive compared to the r630. the R630 uses 80w on idle and 82 with all services i had running on my old system my old system idles on 60W but used with all services 350W. i mean 82W vs 350W with the same services, yeah the R630 makes more sense.
Do you have a video on an on-premise setup for startup tech companies that can eventually connect to the cloud, or hybrid ops?
Thanks for the comment. We don't have such a video at this time. We may add one as time permits.
Marcos have you found that guide, am looking too
@@afsinyilmaz8665 I think I stopped looking into it. It feels like it’s been a while.
very cool video very nice
for a VMware home lab, would you say it would make significant difference in power consumption if I run it 24x7 or if I power everything off every night? Thanks
Dépends on the load during the night, but I would tell you to simply monitor the power usage and decide if it is worth the effort.
Can you replace the main mother board with an R742 motherboard. Can one upgrade from an r630 to a r742 by swapping out the mother board ???
Not sure. I would think not as not everything may align.
i'm looking into one of this too, what is the spec and how much?
You’ll have to look at what is available to you in your country. Used servers prices can be all over the place. As to specs, you can get what you need/want. More cores, faster cores, more raid cache…
I end up purchased HP DL360 gen9 with 384GB RAM 8x146SAS, I have installed esxi 8.0 and nested 4 esxi vmhost with a few VMs for my home lab, just curious about the power consumption between old dell and HP as I do have 2xdell R610 and HP dl 360 Gen 7 they all consume power around 120-140w when running idle , where as my HP Gen 9 start up to 320w and then later on idle at around 160-170w. How is the dell R630 and R640 power consumption like?
rack servers needs rails to mount them in the server rack
Good point.
