Feel free to ask questions if you have them. I "think" I'm allowed to answer them now

The differentiation between E30 and S30 is actually very similar to the differentiation between E20 and S20.
I don't know the E30 specs by heart, but in general:
E30
-uses E3 Xeons or Core i3/i5/i7 (4 core max, 1333MHz memory bus max, 8MB cache max)
-can support integrated video
-limited HDD and RAID support, SATA only
-4 DIMM slots, UDIMM only
-single x16 slot for graphics, PCIe gen2
-max video card support is Q2000
S30
-uses E5 sandy bridge Xeons (up to 8 core, up to 1600MHz memory bus max, up to 20MB cache max)
-no integrated video, discrete only
-SATA and SAS support, support for 3 HDDs and RAID 0,1,5
-8 DIMM slots, UDIMM and RDIMM support (up to 128GB total with 8x16GB RDIMM)
-dual x16 slots for graphics, PCIe gen3
-max video card support is for a single Q5000 (can be paired with another non-aux powered card like Q2000)
Raw speed is a hard thing to quantify. It really depends on which type of software and applications you plan on running. If your software can't take advantage of high core counts, then going for a low core/high clock speed CPU is your better choice (fyi, the E5-1620 clocks in at 3.6G with Turbo+ support). If you're just comparing raw CPU clock speed, there are few advantages to buying a workstation over a run of the mill desktop. Workstation customers have other major buying points such as graphics performance, storage performance, expandability, and reliability....and workstations can excel in ALL of these areas whereas desktops usually only hit on one or two.

No of 3.5" Drive bays in D30 and C30?

Hi there, how many SATA 3.5" drive bays are available/supported in a D30 and C30?
The S30 spec pdf states a max of 3 drives but there is no similar mention in the D30 and C30 spec pdf's?
Also, can I safely assume that there will be as many power connectors/SATA connectors in the power supply and motherboard as there are drive bays or is there any additional pieces of hw/cables to be ordered?
Thanks and regards !!

Go to Solution.

you're correct.   there are a few errors and confusing points in the datasheets depending on where you browse.   the sales site is divided into areas for information and shopping, and the materials on the information side are ambiguous in places.
to answer your question though...
D30: 5 x 3.5" bays
C30: 3 x 3.5" bays
S30: 3 x 3.5" bays
E31: 2 x 3.5" bays
E31 SFF: 2 x 3.5" bays (via 2nd bay adapter)
all systems have enough SATA power and SATA (or SAS) connectors for each of their storage bays.
not all SATA/SAS data cables are included.   if you order with one HDD then you'll only get one data cable plus whatever is routed to the optical drive(s).   if you intend to use SAS drives via the Intel SCU then you'll need discreet SATA to SAS 29 cables shown here.
until the info gets sorted out, download the ThinkStation PSREF sheets instead (direct link / 2.5MB PDF).   this document shows optical/storage drive diagrams and low-level details on system components.   the models listed are pre-configured and available through retailers but the information carries over to the retail site if you want to make a CTO (customized-to-order) system.
that was a long answer to a short question but somewhat necessary given the mixed messages in the datasheets.

In the current Firefox 34 release there is a new "one-off" search bar.
This search bar doesn't show the name of the search engine and a logo.
You can type one letter to make a drop-down list appear where you can see suggestions and see the used search engine and that also has bar at the bottom where you can select other search engines that are enabled via the Search tab in Options/Preferences.
You can use the Tab key to select one of the other available search engines and press the Enter key to search with the selected search engine.
Click the search engine icon and click "Change Search Settings" to open the Search tab in Options/Preferences (positioned between Tabs and Content) to select the default search engine and select which search engines to show in the search bar drop-down list that opens when you start typing search terms.

Does Firefox have a Sidebar like Yahoo and Google that displays a clock, weather, ebay and other add ons?

Looks like my post ended up in the wrong thread as it doesn't seem to be related to your question (looks like one about multiple Master Password pop-ups), sorry about that.
Firefox should save the download location as part of the data of each downloaded file in downloads.sqlite, but I do not think that there is a user interface to make that data visible.
The SQLite Manager shows that data in the Target field.

My add-ons have disapeared and the layout of mozilla is different since the last update to 4.0.1, why?

The following add-ons have totally disapeared from my mozilla, but are still working since they are popping up. they are: WebMail Notifier, FoxClocks, Download Statusbar Mini along with some others. Not only did this happen, but the whole Mozilla Firefax layout has been scrambled ever since the last update has been applied.

To make v4.0.1 look like the previous version, do the following.
* Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the location bar.
* Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top.
* To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps but choose "Customize" from the menu. A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there.
* To replace the status bar at the foot of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/

How to fix problem with installed and working add-ons disappearing after update to 20.0.1?

I updated to version 20.0.1 of Firefox the other day. I had the theme Qute 3++ 1.19 installed and it took 3 restarts of the browser before it kicked in and worked again, for some reason.
Then I noticed that my MillBar Community toolbar 3.18.0.7 had disappeared, which I use for the feature of collecting my email accounts to get fast notifications about new emails. Also my Adblock Plus 2.2.3 seems to not be working because all of a sudden I see ads everywhere and I also discovered a bunch of pop-ups from nowhere. I used these add-ons for such a long time that I was shocked.
When i went to type a message to a friend, I also noticed that my american-english dictionary/spellchecker was not working.
The first thing I checked was that none of these add-ons was inactivated or said to need updates. The dictionary had disappeared, so i re-installed that. I also reinstalled Adblock Plus. Still it doesn't work.
When i entered the email information into the toolbar options, it collects my emails for a while, but suddenly it stops and the information is not there anymore. If I restart the browser it also disappears.
Same thing with the dictionary. it works for a while, and then suddenly it's like it's disabled.
And the add-ons are still in what seems like working conditions in my lists. No errors that I can see, no updates available.
I'm really at a loss as to what to do, I've never had problems like this before that couldn't be solved with an update of the add-on. So I'd be very grateful for help with this and hope that I have provided enough information.

this help is not useful.
Since the new firefox version 20.0.1, '''no more of my add-ons work''' (except firebug ). They are installed '''but not visible '''(no toolbar, no menus) !!! same for the new add - ons that I installed. I tried everything: to reinstall add-on, to reinstall firefox.
this new version of firefox is really horrible, '''thank you for making a corrective because I cannot work any more with'''

Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....

I just bought a new macair laptop and it doens't have idvd and I want to make a DVD slideshow with music. I have an external CD drive. Is there an applicaation that apple has to do this? IF I buy a used mac, which ones have idvd?

I have a new macair laptop and it does not have idvd. It has a flashdirve instead, so no internal CD drive though I bought an external one. I'm wanted to make a DVD slide show with music and I was told I can't do that in order to play it on a dvd player. Does Mac have an appication to buy that can do the same thing? I thought I saw one for $39.95 but not sure if it will do this. The apple store did not know for sure. Also, if I bought a used mac laptop, which ones will have the idvd installed on it?
Thanks,

It is now apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
Other users have complained to Apple via Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html and/or http://www.apple.com/contact/ and have received a boxed copy of iLIfe 11. Give it a try. In the meantime the following maybe of interest:
iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

I'm having to clear cache and cookies daily to have certain favorite websites appear normally - why does that intervention only work for a short period?

I'm having to clear cache and cookies from the tools menu sometimes 2-3 times daily in order to make certain websites appear normally. The websites will have mostly script, which will be placed in columns, and very little in the way of graphics, maybe just a still picture of two. After I clear the cache and cookies, the sites go back to normal, but maybe after a few hours when I go back to the website it will re-appear as described above. The url below is the most commonly affected but it also happens on others like Yahoo news.

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button on PDF Viewer (what is this?). You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.

Safari 3.0.4 (from 10.4.11 Update) Broken and I don't have PicLens

I just updated to 10.4.11 and with it came a BROKEN Safari. Some have posted that PicLens is the cause, but I don't have that installed on my PowerBook. Safari 3.0.4 is SLOW. The scrollbar constantly disappears. Pages won't load, including Apple sites, such as Support and Discussions. The program constantly freezes. I'm writing this in FireFox because Safari 3.0.4 is all but DEAD ON ARRIVAL. This very frustrating! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get Apple's attention on this problem? I've seen posts about re-installing the previous version and dumping Safari 3. That is what I intend to do!
Message was edited by: Micheal Kelly

Safari 3.0.4 is SLOW
Safari 3.0.4 is the fastest browser I have ever seen.
I would suggest running the combo updater again, but before you do:
There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
If you are updating a browser:
Disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on.

After closing Firefox to use IE8 or any other program (like InterVideo to watch a DVD), everything is very choppy and slow. I have to go into Taskbar, Processes, and close firefox.exe manually (which is using up all the memory/CPU and should have closed before). Then, and only then, does everything behave normally. What is going on and what am I doing wrong or missing??

'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox SafeMode is a diagnostic mode that disables extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
