I came across one in a search where the price was right to give this a go. Currently, I run one home server with a personal home page, file server, etc.\u00a0Whereas the first one was limited as it&#8217;s a compact version, running hardware that&#8217;s a few years old, and a little under powered to do much more than serve up movies via Plex.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i.dell.com\/images\/global\/products\/pedge\/pedge_highlights\/server-poweredge-t310-overview3.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for dell poweredge t310\" \/><br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>With the PowerEdge T310, I&#8217;d installed VMWare vSphere Hypervisor (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vmware.com\/products\/vsphere-hypervisor.html\">ESXi<\/a>), and two instances of Ubuntu, 32 and 64 bit, respectively. I&#8217;d not done much with it in the 2 months since purchasing, but I&#8217;ve dusted it off, started an instance of Windows 10 and am formulating some plans for use. I&#8217;ve already a hosting package, so more websites (such as this one) running from a personal server makes little sense today. To begin, I do plan to experiment more with some Rails applications, Django, and get SQL Server on the Windows instance. Since I&#8217;ve not yet upgraded my existing home server to 17.04 (Zesty Zapus) I went ahead and put a an instance of desktop and server on there.<\/p>\n<p>The machine I purchased came with just 4GB RAM, so I purchased another 8 (2 x 4) and installed over the weekend. This didn&#8217;t go smoothly. First boot &#8211; issue. Great, I thought, eBay didn&#8217;t come through despite it looking like a seller with plenty of sales for just this machine. A little bit of fiddling around showed me I didn&#8217;t install in the right slots. And with everything buttoned up again, another error &#8211; &#8216;memory configured but unusable&#8217;. Well, hmm. In short, turns out the earlier boards only support memory modules up to 2GB, so that would max this machine out at 12. I think this will still be plenty, so I&#8217;ve put in another order and for now, I&#8217;ll run one or two virtual machines until I can install the new memory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few months back I&#8217;d purchased a (used) Dell PowerEdge T310 Server.
