- In this video, I'll do a full teardown of a HP ProLiant ML300 G6. During the process, I'll be going over all components. Once complete, I will rebuild the machine and perform some upgrades. This includes memory, CPU and adding disks. At the end of the video I will also perform some benchmarks and compare the results.
Amazing video... Thank you for doing this... Really educational... Greetings from Costa Rica
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have this machine as gaming PC with similar CPU, 24GB RAM, 3x2TB disks in P410 RAID and 1 SSD for system and Asus GTX 1060 Strix. After replace old noisy Nidec fans for silent Noctua it's still great piece of hardware :)
I love how it looks as well. It just tells you it's a powerful machine. Replacing fans is a must for regular desktop usage I believe :)
I recently got my hands on one. How did you change the fans and still get it to boot up?
@@CB2202 I just connect 4pin connector to the edge of 6pin connector.
Great video! For a second CPU would you need to upgrade the power supply to the 750w?
If I get it right, the 750W is a redundant power supply (so you can swap it while the server is on). As far as I see, there is no need for that one for dual CPU. The TDP of a X5650 is 95W so with two of those and a bunch of drives it might be on the limits though.
@@jensdbe I actually run this machine with 2 x X5675 (highest it can go), 12 x 16 GB = GB192 GB RAM, a Geforce GT 710 (PCIe x1) and one single 500 GB ssd with the 460W PSUs. Even when doing rendering in Blender, the machine doesn't complain about power issues. When filling up the hdd slot, that might getting tight, though. Therefore I just bought two cheap used 750 W PSUs, which will be installed soon, so I have headroom for more hdds and/or a beefier GPU.
Nice video.One Question,Are you Using iLO2 on a LInux?
I did try it on Linux but had to install Firefox and enable some older TLS version to access this device's iLo2 webservice.
There isn't really much you can use it for as most interesting features required an additional license (like KVM, monitoring,...) which this machine didn't have (anymore).
@@jensdbe I see. I understood well.
Thank you for answer.
very nice build but the only thing i would have changed is the ram. is a pity not to use the triple channel
Agree with you but I had to make the choice between 16GB in single channel or 6 in triple. But if you can, using all channels is always more performant as long as you have enough in total.
they made 6 xeon variants 4 4core 1.6ghz-2.4ghz and 2 6 core at 2.53ghz
Hi :)
It's interesting how the servers differ by region.
I have the same model, but it has;
Xeon 5620
16GB ddr3, reg, ecc
3 fans in the front
Hotswap PSU's
FIXED HDD Cage
I believe these were fully configurable at the time. So during order you could choose what should be in it (amount of RAM, disks, video card, amount of CPU, disk controller,...)
Awesome video I just got this model and was wondering if installing proxmox is possible?
That shouldn't be an issue as far as I know.
Great video, can I set the speed of the fans?
Currently the fans are at 100% and it makes a lot of noise
Don't remember where exactly but I believe there are settings for this in the BIOS.
Great video. If possible how would you be able to add more than 4 HDD?
You could put some more in the 5,25" bays using a bracket and an additional SATA/SAS controller to connect them
hello
my proliant ml150 gen 6 looks just like that...but i only have 1 cpu core and I need to get 2 and I am looking for a graphics card
I want to use the case with different motherboard 😊
Uhmm, Looks like power supply cleaning service was missing! Disasembly and cleaning power supply is essential!
Hi, I have the exact same server and attempted to apply the same upgrades however my machine will not boot up and has a red light flashing in front?what should i do? My server uses a raid controller and the controller is also flashing from green to yellow. I need help please
Is it possible to replace the 4 hot swaple cage drive with a 8 sff ?
Have you found a way to quieten the fans?
Great video dude, support the xeon x5660?? thx 4 all
Should be supported, yes
