Powermac dp 800 server

i have a powermac g4 dp 800 server and on everymac .com the specs say it doesnt support dual displays.i hooked too put one vga and 1 adc and the adc got a little dim but not much.i unhooked the second display will this hurt my hardware if i hook it back up and why is it that it doesnt support dual displays
thanks

The original Quicksilver G4s shipped with several different display cards. Early display cards did not support dual displays even though some had multiple connectors.
The Quicksilver 2002 models all shipped with display cards that supported multiple displays.
As japamac has indicated, whether this feature is supported or not depends on the display card in your Mac. Apple System Profiler will tell you its make & model.
If all you need is a slower second display to hold palettes and tools, you can add additional PCI-slot display cards to use additional displays, but they will not be as fast as your main display.

  • PowerMac into a Server?

    I have an PowerMac with OS 10.4. I'd like to turn it into atleast a file server amoung a mix of mac's and pc's. Is this possible? Need step by step instructions. Thanks!

    You may want to Manually assign your server computer a fixed IP address, rather than relying on a possibly-changing DHCP address.
    System Preferences > Sharing
    Check the boxes for Personal File Sharing and Windows File Sharing
    It is now a file server supporting up to 10 simultaneous connections. If you need more simultaneous connections, you will need Mac OS X Server software, a US$1000 package.
    To connect, from the client Mac system, choose "Connect to Server" from the Go menu. Enter a domain name or an IP address (you may want to assign your server computer a fixed IP address). Choose Guest to share the "Shared Folder", or another used_id and password to share whatever is owned by that Id and password.

  • Turn PowerMac G5 into server

    I replaced my PowerMac G5 with a new iMac. I needed an Intel Mac to run Adobe CS4. I feel like it's a waste of a perfectly good computer to let the G5 become a doorstop.
    I was thinking of turning it into a server. I was going to download a demo of the Mac server OS, but they stopped offering it as a demo. Can I turn it into a Linux server? Any recommendations?

    What do you define as a server? a linux box was popular. You can run YDL, not sure of current versions (gave up on Suse on Mac).
    What do you want to run on it? NAS?
    Have alook at Atom-based (Intel) boxes? HP has a nice unit with 5-10TB of storage, eSATA and USB as well as internal drives, just needs a good giga switch.
    For what it costs to run a G5, well, they do make nice room heaters in the winter, I don't think turning it into a server is always the best, and you are probably looking at spending on internal or external storage in most cases unless you have a storage array already.
    Donate. There are lots of places in need that would be happy to have one, schools, charity organizations...
    Windows Home Server SP2 $99 - even if you don't go for it, the WHS Bible or manual show how to get the most out of it (comes with many of your NAS boxes). Supports Macs, PC, iTunes, TimeMachine and more.
    I'm sure there must be similar $499 devices or should.
    This question comes up about once a week lately.

  • Quicksilver PowerMac G4 800 Spontaneous Startup

    Hi to all on the forums!
    My G4 800 Quicksilver has developed a problem following shutdown, after about 15 minutes, the machine starts up spontaneously. This has happened a handful of times in the last months. Most recently, the spontantous startup led to the alarming flashing startup light and bad hardware tone. Reset button dumped me into open firmware. Mac starts OK, but will shut down spontaneously during sleep.
    Internal battery was replaced recently, but did nothing to solve these problems.
    Would appreciate any help available to troubleshoot this.
    Cheers,
    Alan

    Hi, Friedrich!
    Disconnect your peripherals. Disconnect the power cord, remove the battery, reset the PMU, depress the front power button for a few seconds, wait thirty minutes or so for the logic board's capacitors to discharge, then reconnect the power cord and attempt startup without the battery.
    If no luck, then using a voltmeter, test the line voltage from the wall outlet through the power cord at female end of the cord. If the reading is normal, reconnect the power cord to the tower, open the side door, and use the voltmeter to test for DC trickle voltage coming from the power supply...
    Here's a link to the PSU testing procedure you can use for your QS Mac. Please note that the only difference from the Gigabit Ethernet model test shown is that your QS should read +25 volts across pins 11 and 22, rather than the +28 volts shown:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=95064
    Here's a link with a color-coded pinout diagram for a Quicksilver (scroll down on the page) which will help identify the right wires to test:
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/tips/MDDps_mods/MDD_PSMods.html
    Test the power supply from the wire side of the power supply's harness where it connects to the logic board. Don't disconnect the connector from the board, but instead just insert the probes alongside the wires into the appropriate pin terminals and be sure to make metal-to-metal contact with the pins at the end of these wires within the connector. If the first test for trickle voltage reads zero voltage, retest to be sure that pin to probe contact was indeed made. If you still get a zero reading, your power supply is defective.

  • PowerMac G4 800 Quicksilver does nothing

    Hi,
    during the last weeks my old PowerMac just went off for three or four times, pressing the powerswitch boots it again and everything was fine again for some days.
    This morning I got the same thing but it did nothing when hitting the power button.
    No fan, no beep, no light – exactly nothing.
    I reseted the PMU, took of the PCI-cards, removed the memory and tried another RAM, still the same.
    The last thing I tried was removing the power cord, waiting some seconds, removing battery and waiting about an hour. Plugged the power cord back in, tried to boot, nothing.
    As today is sunday I can't buy a new battery but I'll try this tomorrow, can this be the source of the problem?
    Regards,
    Friedrich

    I suggest you create a dedicated user for your calibre service and not run it as root (User=, Group=). I'm not so sure running that code mess as root.
    Edit: Or if you want the server to run only when your user is logged in, then create it in the systemd user session.

  • Best server solution without spending thousands

    didn't really know where to post this:
    i am an american (agency owner) living in germany. we have two restaurants in würzburg. we receive many compliments for our menus, ads, posters, flyers, etc. after a while, our competitors asked us if we would do menus, websites, etc. for them. we thought "why not?".
    i went out and got an office, a few macs, some software, some designers, a business license, etc. and we now have 64 clients in bavaria.
    i say all that to make clear that i am neither an it-technician nor a designer. i am a restaurant-man. i never worked on a mac before, but i thought- if we're gonna do this, do it right. it's gotta be mac.
    currently i am mis-using an iMac G5 as a server AND work station. all company data is on an iMac and all other macs access data over a router. that works fine but if you delete something over the network it doesn't land in the wastebasket- it's gone forever. that means someone can very easily (accidentally oder deliberately) delete files or the entire database! that's not good.
    inspite of our "success" i still can't afford spending thousands on a mac server and server software. my idea is to purchase a used or refurbished power mac (for example) and server software. i think we could get both for under 2.000euro. i would then mis-use the powermac as a server but not use it as a workstation.
    before i spend all that money, i would like to know if it will solve my problem or will it be the same as it is now. when i ask technicians or informatiker, they say, "should work, but i'm not really sure."
    can anybody offer me some help on this one? is there a relatively inexpensive solution?

    No problem on the response. That is why we are here.
    For the purpose of sloshing files around, an XServer would indeed be overkill as would the XServe software.
    Mirroring will only protect your stuff sitting on the original drive and usually within the same machine. What if that one machine is destroyed by a catastrophic event like fire or flood or employee tampering? Big time bummer-all your work just went buh-bye with it.
    Your backup strategy must be robust and you must adhere strictly to it and include at minimum one weekly backup stored securely off-site. External USB, FW400 and/or FW800 drives are good options as you can have three daily backups rotating off-site. Number 1 sits next to the machine and is today's work. Number 2 is locked in a safe nearby. And number 3 is secured completely off-site as in your home safe or in a bank vault.
    My original file storage system, or "server", recently retired because of space constraints only, is still my sweetest. I was able to stuff about 7 or 8 hard drives into an 800MhZ G4 tower and had 1TB of online storage. It is still not a bad option as EIDE drives are, as we say here in New England, "wicked cheap" these days and stocking up on a few spares will not break the bank.
    Why is it that you don't give each user their own private folder on the "serving" Mac? Make them smart folders and back them up every 15 minutes or so to an external drive. Not completely idiot-proof but certainly a step in the right direction. If they share files do the same with a shared folder. Same effect.
    Definitely don't invest in the server haardware and/or software unless you absolutely need it now or seriously project needing the services in the very near future.

  • Change NetBIOS name in 10.6 Server

    I'm setting up  a new server to replace my PowerMac G5 Leopard server, just got a Mac Pro so I put 10.6 server on there for file sharing services. I cannot figure how to change the NetBIOS name however. When i go into System Prefs and try to change it that way, it points me to Server Admin, but I can't figure out where to change it. It's currently at new-host.local, and I would like to change it to Lambda.local. How do I go about doing this? Thanks

    Hi,  
    We can use the active directory rename tools to rename domain NetBIOS name. But it is a complex and risky process.
    For more information about how to use random.exe to rename domain name, please refer to the following article:
    Rendom
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732097.aspx
    Besides, renaming of the NetBIOS domain name is not supported in any version of Exchange Server.

  • Setting up a G5 as a server

    Hello
    this is quite a broad question, my knowledge is very limited so please be patient if you have the time.
    In the studio there are 14 computers, a mixture of eMacs, iMac G5's and a Power mac G5. There are all networked wirelessly. We want to set a back up sysytem on the powermac G5.
    A server has been suggested, however I am unsure of what a server actually is or does and whether it would be the correct system to put in place. I would be very greatful for any advice or direction to somewhere I could read up and find out more information.
    many thanks

  • Is OSX server right for me?

    i work for a small dvd authoring house and I am trying to improve the efficiency of our workflow.
    We are mostly PC based, with a few powermac G5s. I have set up one of the powermacs as a central storage server. It is connected to a 2 terrabyte raid array via fiberchanel.
    Everyone retrieves and places files on to the array by connecting through gigabit ethernet to the powermac which is sharing the volume using a shareware program called sharepoints.
    I have recently setup one of our employees that works remotely with an FTP account using tigers built ftp server so that she can also connect to the central array.
    My questions:
    Will upgrading the powermac to osx server yield any benifits for our workflow?
    Is it possible to put two seperate gigabit ethernet cards in everyone's computer for faster network transfers to and from the central storage?
    Our remote employee has noted that downloads and uploads to our server via FTP are far slower than transfers she makes to other ftps. Currently 20k a sec is her top speed with an avg of 10. She was getting close to 100k/s with the FTP server we rent from Readyhosting. Will upgrading to osx server improve the speed of remote transfers, what about rumpus?
    We transfer a lot of media files throught out the day, it adds a lot of overhead. We cant afford to go all out with xsan and fiberchannel switches. Does anyone have any suggestions that may improve the workflow.
    What would be ideal is if our digitizers could capture a movie directly to the central storage array and our dvd authors can read the files directly from the array. My gut feeling is a gigabit network doesnt have the bandwidth for this.
    thanks for any insight.
    ryan

    Will upgrading the powermac to osx server yield any benifits for our workflow?
    I doubt it. As long as the limited number of connections and lack of GUIs for the configuration aren't a problem, there isn't really much difference between client and server.
    Is it possible to put two seperate gigabit ethernet cards in everyone's computer for faster network transfers to and from the central storage?
    Not really. Trunking or bonding is connection based. In other words, one file goes over one wire, next file next wire. So if you're going to be transferring numerous files at once, it will benefit you, but if you're just transferring one big file, it won't.
    Our remote employee has noted that downloads and uploads to our server via FTP are far slower than transfers she makes to other ftps. Currently 20k a sec is her top speed with an avg of 10. She was getting close to 100k/s with the FTP server we rent from Readyhosting. Will upgrading to osx server improve the speed of remote transfers, what about rumpus?
    Have you checked the configuration of FTP thoroughly? FTP has the ability to limit how fast connections can transfer and this may be on accidentally.
    We transfer a lot of media files throught out the day, it adds a lot of overhead. We cant afford to go all out with xsan and fiberchannel switches. Does anyone have any suggestions that may improve the workflow.
    One other possibility is InfiniBand. It looks to be ~$1500/machine vs. ~$2100/machine for XSan.
    What would be ideal is if our digitizers could capture a movie directly to the central storage array and our dvd authors can read the files directly from the array. My gut feeling is a gigabit network doesnt have the bandwidth for this.
    Judging by the number of posts in the XSan forum that frames are dropped with XSan, I would say that gig isn't going to cut it. It looks like one of these streams needs ~150 MB/s and that would be, to be solid, both controllers on an XRaid.

  • FW 800 - processor upgrade?

    Hi,
    please tell, are there any processor upgrade cards for a PowerMac FW 800?
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hi Alexander-
    "The Power Macintosh G4 (Firewire 800) series is similar to the "Mirrored Drive Doors" series that it replaced -both share an identical case, complete with "mirrored drive doors" and the same bus speeds (133 MHz or 167 MHz) and RAM (PC2100 and PC2700), for example -- but the "Firewire 800" models have faster optical drives and add a single Firewire 800 port along with support for onboard AirPort Extreme (802.11g) and Bluetooth 1.1.
    Perhaps most notably, however, is that the "Mirrored Drive Doors" models are capable of booting in MacOS 9, whereas the "Firewire 800" models are not."
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg4/stats/powermac_g4_1.0mdd.html
    Except for the OS 9 boot abilty, the models are so similar, that they are often grouped together under "MDD".
    The link (in my 1st post) to the Sonnet processors is from OWC, a Mac upgrade specialist, who lists the MDX as a processor upgrade for the FW 800.
    Also, MacUpgrades UK lists the MDX as an upgrade option for the FW 800:
    http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/productinfo.php?productsid=281
    I checked the xlr8yourmac database for user reports, and found one match in (criteria) G4 MDD/Sonnet. The report is from a FW 800 owner, who had a VERY unique problem:
    http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/cpureview.lasso
    Mike, the editor, makes a very good point regarding the lack of L3 cache on the 7447 Sonnet processors. The lack of the L3 actually limits the overall "speed" of the processors, and the 7447 processors really aren't any faster than a 2x1.3ghz-1.4ghz 7455 processor with the L3 cache. In fact, for video, games and such, the L3 cache is an important feature in the G4's performance.
    If I were looking for a processor for a FW800, I would consider a 2x1.42 ghz OEM processor, or the above linked GigaDesigns 7455 processor, before I would consider the quite expensive Sonnet (which also requires software patches, as the 7455 processors don't).
    LowEnd mac also has some thoughts on this processor and upgrading the MDD, as opposed to moving to a G5. See "MDD Processor Upgrade vs. Used G5" on the linked page:
    http://lowendmac.com/mail/07/0605.html
    Finally, I intend to check with OWC support after they open in a little over an hour, and confirm their recommendation of the MDX for the FW 800. I will post back.

  • Cant bind leopard clients to Tiger server

    Hi can one of you help me
    Im trying to implement an OD server into a small network, ive set up a small test network to try things out on which is a G4 Powermac with OSX server 10.4 a new imac running 10.5.5 and an old powerbook running 10.5.5
    i set up DNS and then setup open directory when i go to Directory utility on the clients and try to bind to the OD they seem to bind ok but then in the list it says server is not responding with a red circle
    if i go to search policy and remove the /LDAPv3/servername the light turns green but says server is responding normally. this server is not in you authentication search policy. Putting back in the line and the server is not responding
    Is this a problem with LDAP i dont know where to start, both clients say this

    I had the same thing... except mine was working last night and not this morning... that'll teach me for working too late!
    Anyhoo - I fixed it by disabling "Enable SSL" on the LDAP tab of the OD Master's Open Directory Setting pane, then rebinding the client (having ripped down and reset it's local Kerberos config - see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1245) then re-enabling SSL on the Master. No idea why it worked (trying to figure it out now), but it did... give it a try.
    Note, this is not to enable SSL connections from the client to the Directory - that's a whole 'nother can of worms I'm opening as we speak, following http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20071203011158936.

  • OS 9 won't connect to internet

    hi all-
    I have never used OS 9 and wanted to check it out. I got a 350Mhz iMac and installed OS 9 fresh. I connected it to my network via ethernet. Looking in TCP/IP it is setup for DHCP and it has a router assigned IP and I can connect to any computers on the network, browsing folders and moving files between them. But I cannot get a webpage to load. I get the error that the time is incorrect and the date is wrong, I cannot so software updates via Apple's utility so I do not believe it is a browser-based problem. I have both IE and iCab on it for web browsing.
    Here's a twist. With the exact same settings in Aiport (DHCP) I connect to the internet just fine. The network I connect to is a wireless connectioned offered by my 2wire dsl modem/router.
    The only difference I see is that one connection has an IP address behind a d-link router and one has an ip address that bypasses it by using the built in dhcp in the modem/router. All other computers connect to internet just fine on either connection, but they are all running 10.3 or better.
    Any ideas?
    One other thing. The iMac is setup with 10.3.9 and OS 9. All is well in Panther (ethernet & Airport)which leads me to believe hardware is not the problem.

    Sounds like a DNS error. This was common with OS 9, and to a lesser extent with early versions of OS X. You need to
    1 call up your ISP and get their DNS server address
    2 type that address into the DNS server text box in TCP/IP
    You're done.
    If you can't get hold of your ISP or if the mouth-breather at the other end of the line says something like 'Duh, what's a DNS?', try these DNS addresses:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    They're the DNS addresses for OpenDNS, which is a free DNS server. Once you can access the Internet, look up OpenDNS.
    Here's a twist. With the exact same settings in
    Aiport (DHCP) I connect to the internet just fine.
    The network I connect to is a wireless connectioned
    offered by my 2wire dsl modem/router.
    The Airport probably has DNS set up on it, while the other router probably doesn't.
    The only difference I see is that one connection has
    an IP address behind a d-link router and one has an
    ip address that bypasses it by using the built in
    dhcp in the modem/router. All other computers
    connect to internet just fine on either connection,
    but they are all running 10.3 or better.
    As I said, this problem was fixed in OS X somewhere along the line. I know that it existed in 10.1. I know it's not there now...

  • Replace Desktop

    Hi guys,
    I spend some months abroad only to find my place back completely empty. My G4, Display, DSR 11, monitor and a whole lot of other stuff, it is all gone. Well s**t happens, but I can tell you it is not a pretty sight.
    Ok, I mainly do low budget things and do it more for the fun then the bucks, but I need to replace my desktop and a lot of other things witch for now I don't know how to find the money. So I can afford a new dual core 2Ghz or look on ebay for a 2x 1,8 or 2x 2 Ghz. The latter seems to be faster then the dual core.
    I know this is of topic, but I just want some advice, please understand, I can not be calm in this situation and can't get my mind to focus.
    Just don't tell me to wait for the intel, as I don't need it, my dual G4 800 served me well and I miss him.
    I live in Belgium so we also don't have this 'refurbed' things.
    Any ideas, advice...... thanks a lot
