I have a pair of R210 IIs running virtual machines for one of my
clients with ganeti taking care of replication etc.<br>
quad xeon, 8gb ram and it fits in a (deepish) wall mount rack (<a
href="http://www.4cabling.com.au/products/6RU-550mm-Hinged-Wall-Mount-Server-Rack.html">http://www.4cabling.com.au/products/6RU-550mm-Hinged-Wall-Mount-Server-Rack.html</a>)<br>
with 2x 1Tb hdds for ~$1600<br>
Unlike the R210 the R210 II is quiet, suitable for an office
environment in the same room as staff, with about 20% cpu usage the
cisco 2960 POE switch above it in the rack makes more noise.<br>
<br>
Thing dell doesn't know is their mounting rails are way too long for
the server, they are designed for minimum 600mm between uprights, I
needed to cut mine down with a bandsaw even after I explicitly asked
dell if the rails were made to fit the shallow racks they advertise
the server for.<br>
<br>
For the OP, is it atx compatible? the plug looks about the same.<br>
Could you perhaps temporarily hang a regular ATX supply out the back
of the server, take photos then submit to thereifixedit.com?<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I have a Dell R210 Server in production and the
power supply has<br>
failed. Just hoping someone might know where I
could get one in a<br>
hurry so I can get this server back online ASAP.
Any assistance would<br>
be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Dell Part Number C627N<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
