List of Simple and Yes or No questions about the Precision T7910 Workstation

1) I bought a T7910 with only 1 Processor, can I add a second Processor later? 
2) Do all 7910 Models come with a dual-processor motherboard?
3) There are videos on Youtube showing a guy changing his 5.25" HDD ports into 2.5" SSD ports with cables, screws, metal plates, and these great little fans and such,  but there seems to be no way to find out where he got the cables, screws and little fans, Do these sort of options, cables, screws, plates and fans etc. come with the T7910?
4) If they do not come with the machine, can they be ordered after the fact? (where? See next question...)
5)  I went to the Dell Parts & Upgrades site then to the 'Accessories for your Dell Precision Workstations T7910' page,.  There was exactly ONE part available for the 7910, (some strange cheap little video card) see here: accessories.us.dell.com/.../Category.aspx;l=en&cs=19&s=dhs&category_id=2999&mfgpid=238987&Tab=Parts&stype=2
so.... 
Is that the ONLY Part or Upgrade one can buy for a Precision 7910 workstation?
(sub question: Where are the Replacement Power supplies and Memory chips and cables and fans and Procs and Drives and Raid Kits for the 7910?
6)  I bought 32GB DDR4-2133 for my 7910 (in a 4x8GB configuration), can I ADD more memory later keeping my existing chips and just adding 4 more 8GB chips to get to 64GB? (or do they all have to be matched chips installed at the same time like the old days...)
THANK YOU!

I just bought my T7910. The short list of specs on mine:
- E5-2623
- 2 x 4GB (2 x 16GB should be coming in this week)
- 310 videocard (already been upgraded to a 960)
- 500GB HDD (already added a 500GB Samsung 850 EVO and a leftover 2TB)
- purchased the quad 2.5" drive bay that goes into the 5.25" optical drive bay to allow me to put in 4 x 2.5" drives besides the standard 4 x 3.5" drives
I bought this system after very detailed research. Not all information and/or parts are straight up available on Dell's site (e.g. the quad drive bay I made sure to be part of the purchase, but knew it would ship separately).
SpeedStep
 1) I bought a T7910 with only 1 Processor, can I add a second Processor later? 
No -> Incorrect: you can add a 2nd processor later, but you'd need to get a genuine Dell heatsink for that 2nd processor, which currently means you'll have to buy that from Dell as I haven't found any resellers offering that heatsink separately yet.
2) Do all 7910 Models come with a dual-processor motherboard?
No -> Yes, all motherboards in the T7910 support dual processors (you just need a 2nd heatsink, which doesn't come with the system if you buy it with a single processor)
3) There are videos on Youtube showing a guy changing his 5.25" HDD ports into 2.5" SSD ports with cables, screws, metal plates, and these great little fans and such,  but there seems to be no way to find out where he got the cables, screws and little fans, Do these sort of options, cables, screws, plates and fans etc. come with the T7910?
No -> Correct, but you can buy them from Dell. The SKU to buy is 470-ABHF. This SKU is probably not findable on dell.com, so you'd have to go through spare parts or your salesrep. Dell's KB article here, shows some information, but at the time I'm writing this it doesn't have a (correct) SKU for the 7910 (it uses different cables than the 7600/7610 due to the 12Gbit/s SAS vs 6Gbit/s SAS).
4) If they do not come with the machine, can they be ordered after the fact? (where? See next question...)
No -> Yes, see above
5)  I went to the Dell Parts & Upgrades site then to the 'Accessories for your Dell Precision Workstations T7910' page,.  There was exactly ONE part available for the 7910, (some strange cheap little video card) see here: accessories.us.dell.com/.../Category.aspx;l=en&cs=19&s=dhs&category_id=2999&mfgpid=238987&Tab=Parts&stype=2
so.... 
Is that the ONLY Part or Upgrade one can buy for a Precision 7910 workstation?
Yes -> No, the website is just very limited in what it lists, even though Dell does seem to have added memory and drive upgrades at least, since your original post.
(sub question: Where are the Replacement Power supplies and Memory chips and cables and fans and Procs and Drives and Raid Kits for the 7910?
No -> You'll have to call Dell spare parts or your Dell salesrep.
6)  I bought 32GB DDR4-2133 for my 7910 (in a 4x8GB configuration), can I ADD more memory later keeping my existing chips and just adding 4 more 8GB chips to get to 64GB? (or do they all have to be matched chips installed at the same time like the old days...)
Yes -> Correct; each processor has 4 memory channels. All usable memory channels have to be identically populated, unless the memory channel isn't being used (e.g. you don't have a 2nd processor to communicate with the 2nd set of 8 DIMMslots, or you don't need that much memory at this time). So, in your case, you would end up with 4 memory channels with 2 x 8GB DIMMs in each memory channel. For my system I should have 4GB + 16GB in 2 of my 4 memory channels for my CPU.

  • 4 questions about the the top boxes - SD box and Home media DVR

    Hello. I am going to be getting Fios soon and I have some questions about the boxes. I will be getting the Home Media DVR and 4 SD boxes.
    1) Do these boxes have timers on them to set so the box can turn off at a certain time?
    2) Do these boxes have parental control and if so is it good enough to block things that I do not want my child to see?
    3) How many people can access the home media dvr at the same time to watch already recorded programs
    4) If the Home Media DVR is in the family room can a record be started from the bedroom over the SD set top box (even an hd show)?
    Thanks for any help.

    I have been using two Standard Set Top Boxes for about a year. I have Parental Controls on and all channels locked. When I want to watch a channel, I tune to that channel, note the LOCKED message, which tells me to press the OK button to enter ther Parental Controls PIN and unlock the channel for viewing.
    This has worked flawlessliy for the last year -- ON THE Standard STB's.
    I just ordered the Home Media DVR STB to replace one of my Standardt STB..
    On the Home Media DVR:
    I can set the Parentals Control PIN and lock the channels, in the exact same way I did o nthe Standard STB's. However, when  tuen to ANY channel, I still ge the LOCKED message and instructions to press OK to unlock the channel -- BUT no matter how I press the OK button, the Enter your Parental Conlrols PIN dialog box willl NOT open. Nothing happens -- you CAN NOT view any channel.
    Again, it is the EXACT setup as for the Standard STB, but the OK button will NOT unlock any of the channels.
    If you unlock all channels and LOCK the Ratings, the same problem recurs: OK buitton will never open the "enter your PIN" dialog box.
    I have received two replacement boxes and have spent hours on the phone with some very capable and helpful Techs -- no luck.
    Has anyone else had the same problem? Here's how to test your Home Media DVR:
    1. Menu-Settings-Parental Controls.
    2. You will be prompted to CREATE youre Parental Controls PIN
    3. Enter you PIN twice.
    4. Use the > button to scroll to Enable On/Off and set it on.
    5. scroll down to Control Channels
    6. Press > button to See Locked Channels
    7. Scroll down to Add/Remove Channels
    8. Scroll right to choose LOCK ALL
    9. Press OK and then scroll to YES to lock all channels
    10. Press EXIT to get out of settings.
    11. All channels are now locked.
    12. Go to any channel
    13. A black screen will appear with a lock silhouette with the word LOCKED below, followed by instructions to Press OK to enter PIN and unlock this channel. (plus how to change locks...).
    14.Press the OK button and, if it is working, you will see a dialog box at the bottom of the screen that is titled: UNLOCK, with the channel listed and the instructions to "Enter your PIN using your numeric pad on remote to naje this channel availabe for all users." THere's a PIN box, which shows asterisks for each number entered, with "Press Exit to Cancel" below.
    15. On the Standard STB, it works exactly as described in steps 1 thru 14. On the Media Center DVR, it works up to step `13, but in 14, no matter how you press the OK button, the UNLOCK dialog box never pops us. The Remote STB light flashes on the remove and the REMOTE yellow light flashes on the DVR,  but nothng happens.
    If you have a Home Media DVR, can you please try this and see if it works?
    Thanks,
    John

  • Question about the CSS behavior when using layer 3 sticky and sticky table

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question about the CSS behavior when using layer 3 sticky and sticky table is full.
    If I configure layer 3 sticky and specify the inactivity timeout as below, how does the CSS
    handle subsequent needed sticky requests ?
    advanced-balance sticky-srcip
    sticky-inact-timeout 30
    CSS document says that
    Note:
    If you use the sticky-inact-timeout command to specify the inactivity timeout
    period on a sticky connection, when the sticky table becomes full and none of
    the entries have expired from the sticky table, the CSS rejects subsequent
    needed sticky requests.
    My question is what is the next reaction by doing the CSS if the CSS is in the
    following condition:
    when the sticky table becomes full and none of the entries have expired from
    the sticky table, the CSS rejects subsequent needed sticky requests
    Does CSS just rejects/drops subsequent needed sticky requests ?
    or
    Does CSS does not stick subsequence requests to particular service but CSS forward
    subsequence requests with round-robin basis ? which means if the sticky table is full,
    the CSS just works round-robin load balancing fashion for subsequence requests ?
    Your information would be appreciated.
    Best regards,

    Hello,
    There is a good document explaining this on Cisco web site
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps789/products_tech_note09186a0080094b4b.shtml
    It depends if the sticky-inact-timeout is used or not. If not, it's FIFO (the oldest entry in the sticky table is removed). If yes, the CSS will reject the next sticky request.

  • Some questions about the integration between BIEE and EBS

    Hi, dear,
    I'm a new bie of BIEE. In these days, have a look about BIEE architecture and the BIEE components. In the next project, there are some work about BIEE development based on EBS application. I have some questions about the integration :
    1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?
    2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?
    3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?
    4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?
    could anyone give some guide for me? I'm very appreciated if you can also give any other information.
    Thanks in advance.

    1) generally, is the BIEE database and application server decentralized with EBS database and application? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?You, shud consider OBI Application here which uses OBIEE as a reporting tool with different pre-built modules. Both 10g & 11g comes with different versions of BI apps which supports sources like Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards etc..
    2) In BIEE administrator tool, the first step is to create physical tables. if the source appliation is EBS, is it still needed to create the physical tables?Its independent of any soure. This is OBIEE modeling to create RPD with all the layers. If you build it from scratch then you will require to create all the layers else if BI Apps is used then you will get pre-built RPD along with other pre-built components.
    3) if the physical tables creation is needed, how to complete the data transfer from the EBS source tables to BIEE physical tables? which ETL tool is prefer for most developers? warehouse builder or Oracle Data Integration?BI apps comes with pre-built ETL mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only BI Apps 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI but oracle has plans to have only ODI for any further releases.
    4) During data transfer phase, if there are many many large volume data needs to transfer, how to keep the completeness? for example, it needs to transfer 1 million rows from source database to BIEE physical tables, when 50%is completed, the users try to open the BIEE report, can they see the new 50% data on the reports? is there some transaction control in ETL phase?User will still see old data because its good to turn on Cache and purge it after every load.

  • Question about the notification center (Mails and Reminders)

    Hello together,
    I just started using Mountain Lion and now I have some few questions about the notification center.
    1. Is it possible to show all reminds in the notification center? I have a lot of reminds without an date / time and they don't appear in the notification center.
    2. Is it possible to show the last five Mails in the notification center? I'm just seeing new incoming mails, but I would prefer it, if I could see the last five mails
         (no matter if readed or unreaded).
    Thank you very much for you help.

    Hallo zusammen,
    ich habe gerade damit begonnen Mountain Lion zu verweden und habe einige Fragen zur Mitteilungszentrale.
    1. Ist es möglich alle Erinnerungen in der Zentrale anzuzeigen? Ich habe viele Erinnerungen, die ohne Datum / Uhrzeit sind und in der Mitteilungszentrale
         daher nicht auftauchen.
    2. Ist es möglich, sich die letzten fünf Mails in der Zentrale anzeigen zu lassen? Ich sehe nur neue ungelesene Mails, würde es aber vorziehen die letzten
         fünf Mails sehen zu können (egal ob gelesen oder ungelesen.)
    Danke für eure Hilfe.

    Only reminders with dates appear in the notification center - undated ones don't. Once an email has been read, it is removed from the notification center. Apple has a feedback center where you can offer suggestions.

  • I got an answer and I replied with a question about the answer, does no show in unanswered

    I got an answer and I replied with a question about the answer, does no show in unanswered questions. I guess replying was not the way to get another anwer, How do I do that?
    He said - Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox.
    I want to know - Will I still have my bookmarks, history, addons, plugins, etc.? I do not know what plugins and such that I had. What about my pinned tabs and my tabs that where open.
    More information - When I try to start Firefox I keep getting the message that I need to restart my computer in order to complete a previous update attempt. I had Sweetpacks on my PC and I do not know where it came from, it took over my home page in Internet Explorer and Ithink caused the issue with Firefox.
    Should I do the clean install or try starting Firefox now.

  • I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty?

    I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty? I want to know if the 3 year extended warranty covers what damage. Like water damage, accidental damage, lost or stolen macbook, manufactory defects, or any other kind of damage, maybe be even cosmetic damage. Can anyone help me?

    If you are talking about features of the MBP itself, as long as you are not looking at  the Retina models, then the memory you can upgrade yourself for a lot less than Apple charges, and that does not affect the warranty as Apple considers memory a user permitted upgrade.  Great sources are Crucial and OWC, both are Mac specialists and have on-line videos on how to do the install.
    If the 15" is what you are looking at, a good upgrade is the 7200 rpm hard drive, gives a little better performance over the standard 5400 rpm drive.
    The Hi Res screen is good if you do a lot of graphics work.
    Comparing the 13" amd 15" you will notice the 15" has a second, discrete graphic processor...helps when you get into heavy duty videos, games, graphics...but keep in mind that kicking in the second processor uses a lot of power and will run the battery down faster.
    If you are looking at the Retina models, then keep in mind there are no post-purchase upgrade options...you have to buy with everything you want at the start.
    Just some thoughts.

    I see lots of people asking questions about the "white screen" app store update failure. I see no answers from Apple about this...What is the problem, and what is the solution?

    It's a problem that Apple is having with their App updating system.  The best solution is to be patient, and wait for Apple to solve their systemic problem.

  • A few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx

    i have a few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx , how much better is the dka790gx compaired to the ka790gx ? . how much difference does the ACC function make to overclocking etc , i plan on getting a phenom II 940BE or 720BE . i already have the ka790gx so would it be worth building another system using the dka790gx mobo , or should i keep what i already have and just change the cpu ?

    It's largely irrelevant what other boards had VRM issues other than the KA790GX - the fact is it died at stock settings. Since there is little cost difference between the more robust DKA790GX (or Platinum if you really need 1394) why bother with the proven weakling? There are other examples around of the KA not having a robust power section.  There's no way I would use even a 95W TDP CPU in the KA and absolutely not O/C.....!
    As for the credentials of Custom PC, I have generally found their reviews accurate and balanced, and echo my own findings where applicable. If a little too infrequent.
    The fact that the KA has such a huge VRM heatsink leads me to my other comments on the Forum, particularly regarding the "fudge" aspect:
    """Henry is spot on - the notion that adding a heatsink to the top of the D2PAK or whatever MOSFETS is effective is virtually worthless. The device's die thermal junction is the tab on the device back - which is always against the PCB pad. The majority of heat is therefore dissipated in to the board, and the fact that the epoxy plastic encapsulation gets hot is simply due to the inability of the heat to be conducted away from the device die via the tab. Not sure when Epoxy become an effective conductor of heat.... Good practice is to increase the size of the PCB pad (or "land" in American) such that the enlarged PCB copper area acts as an adequate heatsink. This is still not as effective as clamping a power device tab to an actual piece of ali or copper, but since the devices used are SMD devices, this is not possible. However, the surface area required to provide sufficient PCB copper area to act as a heatsink for several devices isn't available in the current motherboard layouts. Where industrial SBC designs differ in this respect is to place the VRM MOSFETs on the back of the PCB on very enlarged PCB pads - where real estate for components is not an issue.
    Gigabyte's UD3 2oz copper mainboards sound like a good idea, on the face of it. However, without knowing how they have connected the device tabs to where and what remains a mystery. I suspect it is more hype than solution, although there will be some positive effect. From an electrical perspective, having lower resistance connecting whatever to whatever (probably just a 0V plane) is no bad thing.
    The way the likes of ASUS sort of get round the problem is to increase the sheer number of MOSFET devices and effectively spread the heat dissipation over a larger physical area. This works to a degree, there is the same amount of heat being dissipated, but over several more square inches. The other advantage of this is that each leg of the VRM circuit passes less current and therefore localised heat is reduced. Remember that as well as absolute peak operating temperature causing reduced component life, thermal cycling stresses the mechanical aspects of components (die wire bonds for example) as well as the solder joints on the board. Keeping components at a relatively constant temperature, even if this is high (but within operating temperature limits), is a means of promoting longevity.
    For myself, the first thing I do with a seperate VRM heatsink is take it off and use a quiet fan to blow air on to the VRM area of the PCB - this is where the heat is. This has the added benefit of actively cooling the inductors and capacitors too....
    Cooling the epoxy component body is a fudge. If the epoxy (and thus any heatsink plonked on top of it) is running at 60C, the component die is way above that.....
    It's better than nothing, but only just."""

  • Question about the programming of a legend

    Hello everybody,
    I have a question about the programming of a waveform's legend. I
    already asked here in this forum about the legend programming (03)
    months ago.
    I went satisfied but I ve just noticed that this code
    (See Code old_legend_test.llb with main.vi as main function) operates a
    little different from my expectances.
    Therefore I have a new question and I want to know if it
    is possible by labview programming to plot and show, on a waveform
    chart, a signal with activ plot superior to zero (0) without to be
    obliged to plot and show a signal with activ plot equal to zero (0) or
    inferior to the desired activ plot.
    I give you an example
    of what I m meaning. I have by example 4 signals (Signal 0, 1, 2 and 3)
    and each signal corresponds respectively to a channel (Chan1, Chan2,
    Chan3, Chan4). I want to control the legend (activ plot, plot name and
    plot color) programmatically. Is it possible with labview to plot signal
    1 or 2 or 3 or (1, 3) or (2,3) or (1,2,3) or other possible combination
    without to active the signal with the corresponding activ plot zero
    (0)?
    Let see the labview attached data
    (new_legend_test.llb with main.vi as main function). When I try to
    control the input selected values again I get them back but I don't
    understand why they have no effect on the legend of my waveform chart.
    Could somebody explain me what I m doing wrong or show me how to get a
    correct legend with desired plots? Thank by advance for your assistance.
    N.B.
    The
    both attached data are saved with labview 2009.

    Hi
    princejack,
    Thanks for
    posting on National Instruments forum.
    The behavior
    you have is completely normal. You can control the number of row displayed in
    the legend and this rows are linked to the data you send to your graph. Thus,
    if you have 3 arrays of data, let say chan1, chan2 and chan3, you can choose
    which data you want to display in your graph using the property node (Active
    plot and visible). But for the legend as you send 3 plots there is an array of
    the plot name [chan1, chan2, chan3] and you can display 0, 1, 2 or 3 rows of
    this array but you cannot control the order in this array! So, to be able to
    change this array you have to only send data you need to you graph. I'm not
    sure my explanations are clear so I have implemented a simple example doing
    that.

  • Question about the "iPod radio remote"

    I assume the "radio remote" is the same for every country and is under software control. I want to buy in Canada but use in UK and Canada.
    Has anyone got one and seen the RDS work, in the UK almost every FM channel is RDS. Do they have RDS in Canada (Toronto) can anyone confirm?
    And of course it says FM so this again I assume no AM, not that I need AM it was just an interest in if it could do it.
    What happens about headphones, you can plug a pair into the remote, can you still plug into the bottom of the iPod or does the remote connector get in the way.
    What is the story with "line out" I use this all the time as I amp my headphones. So I assume you cant use line out? or is the remote a line out also.
    And I assume the remote cable and you headphones act as the aerial, how is the quality? Is it any good indoors, some little FM radios I have used drop to mono indoors. Does this Apple one frop to mono if the signal is weak?
    Someone that has one can perhaps answer
    Cheers
    Ray

    I can at least answer some of the questions.
    The RDS function on this radio/remote is poor in the
    UK. You have to set the radio function on the iPod
    to "Europe" and when you do this RDS info is not
    displayed on almost all radio stations such as
    Virgin, XFM, Capital, GLR, etc. It does display on
    Radio 2 however. At least, this is my finding. So
    it's unpredictable at best. Setting the radio to
    "USA" on the iPod increases the likelihood of getting
    the RDS to display, but the downside is that you can
    then only tune the radio in increments of 2mhz which
    is a bit awkward if your looking for 89.1mhz!
    There are three settings for the radio which you
    choose via the iPod. They are USA/Europe/Japan. No
    setting for Canada, although I'm sure you will still
    be able to use it over there as I can still use mine
    here in the UK even if it's set to USA.
    No, there is no AM radio.
    You can plug headphones into the remote or the
    headphone jack on the iPod, or both at the same time.
    I'm not sure I understand your question about the
    bottom of the iPod. The radio plugs into the iPod
    via the dock connector.
    There is no 'line out' on the iPod. If you mean the
    one on the dock, then no you can't use it as you
    cannot place the iPod into the dock whilst the
    radio/remote is connected as they use the same
    connector.
    Yes the cable of the remote acts as the aerial.
    Reception is surprisingly good where I am, but it
    will of course depend on where you use it. I've
    used it indoors without any drop in signal or it
    dropping to mono.
    Lastly, you need to update the software for both the
    nano or the 5th generation for the radio to work
    (after you do this a radio function appears in the
    menu), and some users have found that doing this
    screws up the iPod. I have mine working on both the
    nano and the 5th gen without any problems.
    There is a review of the radio/remote here. I like
    mine and consider it a worthwhile accessory, but of
    course there will be those who disagree.

    Thank you for the reply.
    Think your right USA or Europe will work in Canada.
    Yes I mean the line out via the dock, I just wondered if the remote become a line out socket (I also use a pocket dock for line out for headphone amp as I use a pair of Sennheiser HD600 with my ipod) but of course that is silly becasue you have a volume control on the remote and line out is normaly fixed.
    Based on your views I shall get one in March when in Toronto

  • Questions about the content of download meeting recording .zip file

    I tried posting this on the resurrected Connect forum, but my Adobe ID wasn't recognized there....
    Concerning the files that are included in the .zip file of the meeting recording that can be downloaded:
    1) Is there any documentation describing the files and their contents (i.e. what each file represents, what each XML element and attribute in those files represent)
    2) Are there any files that capture mouse movement on a shared desktop?
    Thank you!

    Hi Sean,
    Regarding your first post:
    Thanks Jorma! I don't have access to an FMS build at the moment but I'm quite certain it's there. As for contacting Jaydeep, I am 90% sure he authorized us to broadcast his email on here if folks had questions about the tool, but, in the case that I'm wrong and he didn't - I'm going to double-check first.
    Regarding your most recent post..
    "To be clear, the most critical goal I'm trying to accomplish is to create an automated process that will download the recording meeting at its highest quality in a consistent and reliable manner".
    I personally believe this is possible; unfortunately, I haven't seen it done yet. If your recording contains:
    - audio
    - a camera feed
    - screensharing
    Then I think you might be able to get this going. If it contains shared content, like a shared PPT, this gets trickier.
    "To do this, of course, I have to reproduce some of the functionality that Connect provides, starting and combining video and audio streams according to the instructions in the control files."
    Exactly right. If your recording didn't contain shared content, then all you've got on your hands are a bunch of audio/video files that you could edit together as you wanted with your favourite video editing tool. If it contains shared content, here's (at a high level) what's happening.
    For shared PPTs or FTContent files:
    First (for version 9 recordings only), Connect reads the information on the Shared Content's location and SCO within mainstream and indexstream and validates it before loading it. I don't recall this happening to the same extent with version 8 or earlier, but maybe it was. Now, if the content is validated (ie. Connect can find it) the share pod will display as black, if it doesn't, you get an empty pod with an message like "No content is being shared" or something like that.
    Connect then looks at the actual FTContent file, and loads the content that is to be shared using the file path and sco ID listed in here. It's important to note that the SCO ID and file path in here will likely not be the same as the original file you uploaded to your room, it's a new SCO id (I believe SCOs of this type are called referenced scos) and new path.
    Now...if I was going to build some sort of player which would play all these files in one screen to make a recording...I might not want to use Connect's code here. If you know the file path to the shared content (from FTContent), you could easily view it with the content URL (conveniently also in FtContent). I'm not a coder, but I'm envisioning something like Presenter's GUI where you've got the presentation's content in the main area, and a video file (if there is one) playing back on the side.
    Anyways, food for thought if you want to try to go about this. Connect recordings are incredibly complex and they come with a big learning curve, but if you can make sense of them the knowledge is quite valuable.
