Yes, only my boss informed me that they have to be display ports, he didn't tell me why.
I'm unable to buy from ebay or craiglist either & my local vendor doesn't have any in stock.

Quite a mouthful I know! but I need these specific graphic cards, ideally with next day delivery:

can any one help me out from this problem....
Thanks in advance ....

Oracle 10G release 1 only support up to Solaris 9.
You probably need to install 10G release 2. The second release of major Oracle version is always more stable anyway.

Dell Optiplex 780 mt psu

I have an optiplex 780 mt with the oem 305 watt psu. I would like to upgrade to at least 400 watts but searching online for one is really confusing. One place tells me that my computer doesn't use the standard atx type saying that it would start a fire. I need the facts!
My machine;
optiplex 780 mt
win 7 home premium
ati amd radeon hd6350 gpu (works great by the way. Bought it from Dell. They list the machines compatible.)
4 gb ram
Please, someone out there knows where I can get a psu for it.

Minimum Recommended NON ATX EPS12v Supply is Corsair CS750M.

Cannot install NI-DAQmx on Dell Optiplex 3010

I am trying to install NI Drivers on Dell Optiplex 3010 machines. We have many of these machines - our IT department appears to have stocked up on them. During installation of the NI Drivers the installation will simply stop progressing when it hits some % complete (the actual % varies from one installation attempt to the next). There are no error messages, no timeouts, etc. - it will simply stay at that point and never progress or stop until the machine is rebooted.
I have traced it down to the NI-DAQmx drivers. I can install all of the other drivers as long as I don't install NI-DAQmx (or anything that depends on it). Even just trying to install NI-DAQmx without other drivers that depend on it produces the same issue. I have not had any driver installation issues on other Win7 machines that are not Optiplex 3010s.
Anybody else see this or have any ideas on how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance,
Devin

Hello dbentley!
Some thoughts:
Sometimes, the windows installers can encounter problems during the installation progress, due to the Windows Update manager. Have you tried installing the required updates on your Windows machine (I'm assuming you are using Windows 7), before installing the NI Drivers?
Are you running the installers from the network? Have you confirmed that there are no network issues (e.g. connection drops) to that machine?
Best regards!

Problem with restoring an Image to Dell Optiplex 745

Hello,
i try to restore my image to my new Dell Optiplex 745 machines. I am
using ZFD4.01IR7 with the boot-cd from zenimaging.info which uses the
zfd7 imaging engine. I am able to restore the image but unfortunately my
local (and only...) Administrator is not in the Administrators group
anmyore. The Group membership shows only an SID, perhaps the old
Administrators SID... So i cannot install drivers for the included NIC
in order to use DLU for logging in with an Administrator from edir.
I know that that is an unsupported environment with the mixed versions
of ZfD but it works for other machines.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Thomas

hmm.. bring down the image manually, remove the just imaged flag with
zisedit from ZISD, start windows and check if that helps
If you have already compiled drivers or have linux.2 please put them on

Trouble installing Solaris 10(x86) u4 8/07 on a new Dell OptiPlex 755

Hello All,
I'm having trouble installing Solaris 10(x86) u4 8/07 on a new Dell OptiPlex 755.
I have also tried installing opensolaris 9/07 Express Dev snv_70b with the same issue.
I tried disabling all unnecessary hardware in the BIOS as well.
After GNU GRUB loads and I select Solaris install after about 20 dots.... I get:
WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci1028,211@1d, 7
No SOF interrupts have been received
this USB EHCI host controller is unusable
Hardware:
Dell OptiPlex 755 Small Form Factor, Pentium Dual Core, E2160/1.8GHz1M,800FSB,1GB ram.
I am only installing Solaris 10 - no other OS will be on the HD.
Is there any hope for getting SolX installed on this machine or should I return this hardware and by a different model? I have to build 2 pc's with SolX for development boxs.
Thank you in Advance,

Hardware Compatibility List for installation of solaris 10 on DELL units

Hi,
I have a requirement to install solaris 10 on a few Dell servers and desktops.
I was unable to install on Dell PowerEdge SC1435 and noticed it is not on the HCL for Dell servers. This unit has dual core AMD Opteron processors. Is the HCL kept up to date, I noticed items 58 and 59 had the same description (SC1430). Should I abondon further attempts and go to the SC2950 which is on the HCL?
Also on the desktop side, both my choices, Dell OptiPlex 745 dual core, and Dell Precision 690 dual core are not on the HCL. A possible alternative on the HCL is the Precision 670.
Any info would be apprecitate.

I am also having the same issue on a Dell Poweredge SC1435. I get a "ERROR: The disc you inserted is not a Solaris OS/DVD" right after I select the machine to automatically reboot after it finishes installing. It then kicks me out to a Unix shell prompt and I notice that the CD is no longer mounted when I do a "df -k". I've done some research on the web and none of the proposed solutions worked. I'm assuming this has something to do with hardware conflicts with the machine and the fact that the machine is not on the Hardware Compat List yet.
Plus, I know my cd media is good, since I was able to install Solaris 10 x86 perfectly fine on my Dell Poweredge SC420. I'm using the latest Solaris 10 11/06 CD media.

Installation of Solaris 8 (x86 Platform Edition

Hi guys,
I have downloaded the Solaris 8 for intel version and burnt them into CDs. (3 CDs). I tried to download the Solaris (x86 Platform Edition) Device Configuration Assistant Boot Diskette, but instead of downloading, it opens in another Internet explorer window. I tried pressing shift while downloading, that doesn't work. And also I tried to boot using the Solaris installation CD for installing, it says cannot boot from CDROM. Please help me. How can I proceed with installation?
With regards,
Amin

Well I had undergone the same problem, what I did was then use Netscape Enterprise Browser, and there is worked just fine, and was able to save the file onto my pc, without it being opening in an another window, so if possible use Netscape Browser and try and see what happens. Hope this helps you.

Dell Hardware on Linux or Solaris x86

Hi,
My company is considering moving to dell hardware in a move to drive TCO down. We currently run Sun sparc (240, 490,890) servers and they are nearing end of life. Doing the research, even visited some vendors and from what we've seen, running either RH 5 or even Solaris (x86) on Dell could prove to be a good move. We're running mostly 10.2 databases with a couple of 9.2 that we hope to have upgraded by year end.
Has anyone made a similar move and what is your experience? I worked on Dell about 4 years ago and back then we felt there were reliability issues. They crashed a little too often for my liking. I realize some of it was do to OS panics and not just hardware but that is part of the package.
Any feedbackup would be greatly appreciated.

If you're going to go Dell, you might aswell go the whole way and run RedHat.
Aside from the support issues mentioned (I'm not familiar with that aspect) Solaris has a history of being much more expensive to run (largely due to the cost of the employees that know it) with the major advantage being: better integration with Sun hardware.
As for Dell reliability, there's a reason we're an HP shop..

Install error for Oracle 10g on Solaris x86 64-bit. NETCA won't run

Hi All,
I'm installing Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Solaris x86 64-bit. I run the Oracle installer and all runs well until the NETCA portion of the install. It then errors (error file below). When i attempt to run NETCA outside of the installer i'm getting the same error output. I have verified my OS version and that all dependent packages are installed. I'm not sure what is causing this. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
thanks, dave

Installation error Solaris 10-u6-ga1

I must be missing something really obvious on the installation of Solaris 10 U6. I've come up against the error message upon manually partitioning, and using UFS. After the install the error is:
Solaris 10 10 software installation partially failed
Solaris 10 packages partially installed
SUNWlur
Then at reboot it loops and loops
If I install using ZFS no problem. Unfortunately I have to use UFS for this install.
I pulled down the sol-10-u6-x86-ga1 dvd and installed on an Vmware to see what I'd get. If I manually setup the drive, it fails to with the same error.
Here is my drive layout both sparc server and vmware(x86)
/ = 10 Gb
swap = 10 Gb
/etc = 10 Gb
/usr = 10 Gb
/var = 10 Gb
/export=remaining drive space.
I'm I missing something obvious?
thanks
bill

There should be more information in the install log about why the one package failed. If you search for the package name in the log you should be able find it. Then that might help determine whether the package can be installed on its own, possibly fixing your reboot issue.
