Freebie server

Postby c_hegge » May 23rd, 2014, 10:05 pm

I got myself a freebie HP ProLiant ML150 G3 (as well as two older PCs - an AXP and a s478 P4, and a thin client) for free in exchange for some help installing some new PCs at a local office here. Now I just have to decide what to do with it...

Side off. Looks in reasonable condition.

Air duct off. It was a bit of a shame to see that there were only two 560uF polymer caps installed around the CPU sockets.

Three HDDs installed. More specifically, 250GB WD Caviar REs. More on those in a minute

And my favourite part - the PSU. It's a Delta-DPS-650BB. Much like my two other Delta monsters (DPS-750CB and DPS-600MB), this one is a dual-PCB unit full of Rubycon and NCC caps.

BIOS Setup. Looks like we have a Xeon 5110 - a dual core 1.6GHz. I think that's about the slowest CPU that the thing supports.

WD and their so-called "enterprise" HDDs. It looks like we have a dead one.

I noticed while I had it running that the CPU fan sounded quite rattly. It's a bit blocked with dust, but I think this one will need a new fan too. The bearings sound horrible, even when turning it by hand.

That looks like a Delta dual ball bearing fan, so I wonder if it's going bad.... the explanation I can think of is is that it might have been subject to caustic shock (IE, exceeding its shock resistance) at the hands of the previous owner or someone else. Or maybe it's just noisy because it's an aged dual ball bearing fan. Two 560uF polymers for the VCORE... that sounds like something ASUS would do. Who manufactured the motherboard?

That PC has seen several years of 24/7 use, so I'm kind of leaning towards it being an aging ball-bearing fan. I'm not sure who the OEM is for the motherboard. I don't think it's ASUS, though. It doesn't have the backwards polarity markings on the capacitors. It actually bears a bit of a resemblance to some MSI-made HP boards. I'm really not too sure, though.
