FAQs
- Can the same battery be used for every Motherboard? Yes, all systems use a CR2032 battery.
- Why is no Red Hat or Suse software available for this server / pc? Thomas Krenn servers / pcs are not officially certified by Red Hat or Suse certification programs. There would be no support by Red Hat or Suse in case of issues with the operating system.
- What is the recommended ambient temperature and air humidity for this system? The recommended ambient temperature is between 20-22 degrees celsius, the max. air humidity 40%.
- Is it possible to run a dual-CPU motherboard with only one CPU? Yes, all of our dual-CPU motherboards support that. Note that only the RAM slots of this single CPU can be used then.
- Is it possible to use 6-core CPUs in this server (H8DG6-F motherboard)? No, the socket G34 supports only 8- and 12-core CPUs.
- Is it possible to install a Desktop Operating System on a Thomas Krenn Server? Desktop Operating Systems get not tested, as we do not support running them on Thomas Krenn servers. A proper operating is not guaranteed. An installation of a Desktop Operating System on a Thomas Krenn is at one's own risk and not supported by Thomas Krenn.
- Is it possible to use the dedicated IPMI NIC as a normal NIC visible to the operating system? No, this dedicated NIC port can only be used for remote management purposes.
- Why is there no listening of the onboard SATA controller in the test protocol? In this server is a SAS Expander Backplane installed. Onboard SATA controllers cannot be used with a SAS Expander Backplane. The use of a SAS Expander Backplane requires a SAS RAID Controller or (onboard) SAS HBA.
- Are AMD Opteron 6300 CPUs supported with every BIOS version? No, BIOS version 3.0 or later is necessary.
