- One of viewers asked about processor upgrade on the HP Gen 8 MicroServer so I have done a quick follow up video on how to tear it down and a few basic recommendations. Hopefully its useful.
The processor I have gone for is an Intel Xeon E3-1265L V2, it works well for me and supports everything I want to do, it runs Plex really well which is a bonus. I also have a 256GB SSD as my boot drive and two 6TB raid 1 arrays giving me 12TB total usable storage. For a small home server this does the trick. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Thanks a ton for this vid. I just recently got one of these servers for my home server and I got an upgraded CPU for it but was struggling to get the motherboard tray out and didn't want to break something from trying to muscle it out. Thanks again and enjoy my thumbs up! :)
Thank you sir 😁
Well done thank you for taking the time to do this. It looks like a straight forward affair. The next thing is to go to an SSD.
You are most welcome 😁
Great video many thanks for your time and knowledge shared.
Welcome 🤗
Thanks for this Quick tour
Any time!
Hi. Looking for some advice. I just acquired a HP gen8, it has 6gb ram, but now drives and no Ssd drive: You mention in your video this is your boot drive. I needing advice on what cables/leads I need for my boot drive, I have a spare laptop drive that will hopefully do the trick and what do you recommend for the data drives? There seems to be a load of chatter saying you go go as large as you want. I intend to use the server on my LAN, installing a database of sorts and the OS I was going cheap and installing a Linux base system. Any ideas or feedback welcome, many thanks.
This is great, thanks. I have ordered an Intel Xeon E3-1265L v2 2.5 GHz Quad-Core Eight-Core 45W ready to run ESXi on this Gen8. I'd love to know more about your SSD drive and how and why you use it, if it's helpful for my ESXi installation and if so, do you have a video showing the procedure? I currently have 2x2Tb in RAID 1.
I will see if I can put something together for you.
In a nut shell I have two Raid 1 arrays and a Raid 0 boot drive. From what I remember this card only supports raid 0, 1 and 10.
Its quite a simple setup really. The other thing you could explore is booting ESXI from the internal USB if you don't want to faff with trying to get a single drive in place like i did.
Hi - Wanted to say this is a great video!!! I have a Gen 8 and was looking at upgrading to another off the shelf NAS but was wondering if its possible to expand the device from 4 bays? Or would it be easier to just add larger HDD to it? I have all 4 bays populated with 2x12Tb 1x10Tb and a 4Tb. I also use it as a Plex server and run docker containers on it but Im using OMV which I now wish I hadnt. Your advice would be great if you have the time to reply. Thanks
Sorry to say it but you're very much capped to the 4 bays, on the previous generation you could get around it with a DVD drive bay conversation but unfortunately not on this one 😞
Hi I would like to know what’s the best cpu I can add to it and what graphics card could I add to it as I bought this micro server as slandered
You will have to make your own choice on the CPU front, I would go with something that supports hyper-threading if you want good transcoding in something like Plex. As for the GFX card I think you will struggle due to the lack of space.
I have just bought one these lovely machines, installed open media vault successfully it on the reboot can’t get the machine to boot up to the operating system is this a common fault do you know please.
Check the bios settings to see if raid is turned on as you might need to turn it off. If you are using the raid you will need the B110i drivers installed to detect your drives
Hiya, this is exactly what I want to do with CDrom to SSD replacement. What's the cable you bought? I already have a SATA cable for the data. as for the power, did you just buy a spliter and then molex to sata power?
This is what you need: amzn.to/3gOQ6T8
@@WeRepair Just to check, did you have a molex splitter AND the molex to SATA converter? Or is it just the molex to SATA converter?
I'm hunting around and not seeing a spare molex connector.
Hi there, thanks for the video! I'm thinking about migrating from USB boot drives to an internal SSD. I've read somewhere that you cannot boot from the internal SATA connector. Is that correct?
No, I boot from a ssd connected the CD drive SATA totally fine
@@WeRepair But you do use the internal RAID controller? From what I read booting from the other SATA port is only possible once you do that.
@@jerryfletcher Yes I am, its setup as a raid 0 with a single sata as the boot drive. As far as im aware with the raid controller on you have no other option.
Nice job, but the Xeon E3 might get a little bit hot on a Passive Cpu cooler.. maybe consider a Active Low profile CPU cooler.. I build this one on my GEN8 "Akasa K25"
Good luck!
Good shout, yes with the stock cooler it does run a little hot but still with in a safe range and has not been an issue for me.
Don't forget to update the ilo to 4.0.
What he said :D
