Wiring question for MSI8800GT512OC

  I have tried to see if this has been asked previously so as not to clutter up this site with repeat questions but I haven't been able to find it so here goes...I recently bought the MSI NX8800GT 512OC video card and I noticed when I was installing it that right next to the spot where the PCI-E power connector hooks on to the card there is a small two prong/pin connector sticking straight up off the circuit board.  It almost looks like the pins you find on a motherboard that you use to short/reset the CMOS.  I'm just wondering if this is something that needs to be hooked up to something or not.  I'm not talking about the SLI edge connection, I know what that looks like.  I should state that the GPU is installed and working great (I love it) so I'm assuming whatever these pins do it's not critical to the operation of the card.  Any help on the subject would be appreciated.  Thanks

It doesn't matter which scheme you use.  The reason is that, with all CAT5/RJ45 cables and connectors, the only thing that matters is that pins 1 - 8 on the RJ45 connector on one end of the cable are conected to pins 1- 8 of the RJ45 on the other end.  The colors of the individual wires is irrelevant.
The main reason the colors are used is for people who build custom length cables during installation: they often put one RJ45 on one end of the cable and then go to a different location to put the other RJ45 on.  In this situation you have to know what color wire goes with what pin, so there was a standard wire color arrangement developed so that everyone knew what wire goes where.
Most crimpers, which is the tool used to physically attach an RJ45 connector to a CAT5 cable, have printed on them the wire color/pin pairs - but even this can vary by crimper.  
Bottom line: it's not the colors that matter - it's what wire goes with what pin.

  • Wireing Question for Data Center

    I work in what I would consider to be a small/mid sized data center. We use two 6513 as the core/distribution for ~25 racks of servers.
    My question comes in the way of cabling the servers to the core. Currently they are using long patch cords between the 6513 and each server. Well it’s a mess, functional but messy.
    I'm trying to figure out the best way to clean up the mess and make it look professional.
    Most people seem to suggest 2 different ways to accomplish this:
    1) Install switches in each rack and run fiber from the core to the rack. Wire each server to the switch in the rack.
    2) Install 24/48 port patch panels between the core area and the racks.
    I'm wondering what people think of these ideas and if there are any other suggested ways of accomplishing this?
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    Here's something that we used to do where I worked:
    We had 6509's with three/four 48 port blades servicing between 150 and 200 phones roughly. I had four total switches, one on each of four floors. So this would be roughly similar to your DC environment, only we're servicing longer horizontal runs and phones, not servers -- but the idea is the same (i.e. high density cabling issues).
    Lord knows that when you're plugging in 48 cables into one of those blades, it can get pretty crowded. And since we don't yet know how to alter the laws of physics that determine space requirements, we have to search for alternatives.
    Back to my environment: On three of the four floors, we just wired straight from the patch panel (that ran to floor locations) to the switch. Quite a mess when you're running in 48 cables to one blade! However, this is traditional and this is what we did. My cabling guy (very smart fella) suggested something else. At the time I was too chicken to do it on the other floors, but I did agree to try it on one floor. Here's what we did:
    He ran Cat5 (at the time, that was standard) connections in 48 cable bunches from an adjacent wall into the switch. They had RJ-45 connections so that they could plug in, and they were all nice and neat. On the other end, they plugged in to a series of punch down blocks (kind of like you see in a phone room for telephone structured cabling). These, in turn, were cross connected to floor locations on another punch down block that went to the floor locations. Now, whenever we wanted to make a connection live, we simply had to connect the correct CAT5 jumper wire from one punch down block to the other. You never touch the actual ports in the switch. They just stay where they are. All alterations are done on the punch down blocks. This keeps things nice and neat and there's no fiddling with cables in the switch area. Any time you need to put in a new blade, you just harness up 48 more cables (we called them pigtails) and put them in the new blade.
    NOTE: You could do the exact same thing with patch panels instead of punch down blocks, but with higher densities, it's a bit easier to use the blocks and takes up much less space.
    ADVANTAGES:
    * Very neat cable design at the switch side.
    * Never have to squeeze patch cables in and out.
    * Easy to trace cables (but just better to document them and you'll never have to trace them).
    * Makes moves, adds, and changes (particularly adds) very easy.
    DISADVANTAGES:
    * Not sure that you can do it with CAT6.
    * You have to get a punch down tool and actually punch cables (not too bad though after you do a few).
    * You need to make sure that you don't deprecate the rating on the cable by improperly terminating it (i.e. insufficient twists)
    Anyway, I haven't had a need to do this in a while and I no longer work at the same place, but my biggest concern would be if that meets with the CAT6 spec. Not sure about that, but your cabling person could probably tell you.
    I'm not a big fan of decentralizing the switches to remote locations. It can become cumbersome and difficult to manage if you end up with a lot of them. Also, it doesn't scale well and can end up with port waste (i.e. you have 24 servers in one cabinet on one switch and then along comes 25; you now have to buy another 12 or 24 port switch to service the need with either 11/23 ports going to waste -- not good).
    Good luck. Let us know how you make out. I'd be glad to go in to more detail if the above isn't explained well enough.
    Regards,
    Dave

    not sure on that one but you can set a border around the edge of the screen so that you can access the right click menu.
    it's in the obconf options
    pacman -S obconf

    New question...I added gDeskCal for a simple calendar application, and it works great.  However, it shows up on pypanel across all 4 desktops. Any way i could remove it from the panel all together or specify it should only be on pypanel on a certain desktop, etc.?  I dug through pypanels config and info and the config for gDeskCal to no avail...far from a deal breaker but it would be cool to change haha.
    Thanks again everyone!!!

  • LV 5.11 Question for the old timers

    For reasons I won't get into here I am using LV 5.11 for this test.
    I have a couple arrays that are being initialized properly but not being updated and return to their uninitialized (grayed out) state when the program runs . (Min-Remain and Current State)
    Running the trace I see that the main for loop is not being executed.
    I don't think I have ever ran into this before.
    Any ideas?

    A FOR loop iterates as many times as...
    The smallest number of (1) the value wired to N and (2) the size of the smallest autoindexing input array.
    You have an autoindexing tunnel containing an empty array (from the unititialized shift register!), thus the iteration count will be zero.
    It's not really a question for old timers. This behaves the same even in 8.5 and is correct and expected.

  • Wired Headset for Straight Talk E71-2

    Has anyone found a wired headset (Nokia or other) that works with the E71 from Straight Talk?  I purchased the Nokia HS49 because it states it is compatible on the Nokia website, but it DOES NOT work.  Only get sound out of one side and the mic does not work.  It looks like there is something funky about the way the headset jack is set up on this phone.  I tried a bunch of other 2,5 mm headsets I have around, and none will work.

    Looks like it takes a connector with 3 conductors (black rings)

    Finally Success
    I placed an order on Ebay with Mobilex Electronics in NY for a Nokia headset (one earphone with mic and remote to answer/end call) and a Nikia USB data cable. The order was placed late Monday night and I got the stuff today!
    The good news is I finally found a wired headset that works with the ST E71. It is the Model: Nokia WH-100 / HS-104. It cost a whopping $4.99 with free shipping. I will definately deal with this seller again! Any questions, give a yell!

  • Question for Forum Hosts

    Sorry, this is a question for you about how this forum works or what options I am supposed to use, versus being a new problem... I couldn't find a "Contact Us" link to get this question to you any other way.
    I posted a message (marked as a question), "Wireless-G Card causes Tecra 730CDT to Hang," on February 14th. I got a reply from "Quad" and I then replied to that reply (and marked it "still not answered"). The now 3-part message was on the main forum list for about 1/2 day and then it disappeared from it completely. I can do a search and find the original message and the 2 replies, but they are not on the main list.
    I can't figure out why it is not on the main forum list. Did I do or say something wrong so it was dropped from the list? Did I fail to do some step or check some box that is required before it can return to the list?
    I really would like the original message and replies back on the main forum list, as I still have the same problem and am hoping someone will see it and provide a solution to my problem. Please advise.
    Thanks,
    [email protected]

    Hi Ivan,
    First, thank you very much for clearing up what I thought was a mystery of my disappearing posting. Basically, I thought my problem belonged in the TE and Tecra Series forum (what I thought of as the "main page") and was dismayed when I couldn't find it in there. Yes, the Wireless Board is definitely the more appropriate spot.
    Secondly, thank you too for your opinion on my attempt at jamming Wireless-G onto my old laptop. I am seeing that you and Quad must be correct... the fact that the 730CDT works so well with my 10/100 wired card made me feel it could handle everything.
    I have to admit I have never tried slower Wireless-B. Technology has moved so fast and prices have dropped so much that it was cheaper to buy a brand new boxed kit (router and card) for Wireless-G than it was to buy an old Wireless-B set up... I got caught up in getting the best deal instead of making the best technology match.
    I will close this question on "where's my posting?" but will leave the original "730CDT Hang" posting alive for awhile longer.
    Many thanks again,
    Wayne

    How can you change your security question for I tunes?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

  • I have a new email address and my old email keeps coming up on icloud when trying to update apps and i don't know the password or security questions for the old email. I can sign in with my apple id which is tied to another email but not itunes how to fix

    I have an apple id and it has my current email attached to it. however when i go to update apps it's asking for the password for an old email. I no longer have the old email and can't use it. when I go to icloud on my ipad it asks for the password for old email. it doesn't allow me to change the old email to current. when i go to reset it i can't remember the password or security questions for the old email so it doesn't let me go any further. How do I fix this? Do i need to call apple support?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • I am having trouble answering my old security questions for my itunes account and it is creating a problem because I am not able to purchase apps/songs on my new IPAD. What phone number/email adress should I call to get a quick response to my issue?

    I have recently bought an IPAD 2 for my girlfriend and have encountered a problem with purchasing apps through my itunes account. It is requesting that I not only enter my pasword (which I know) but answer my old account questions, which I have forgotten the answers to. It had since locked me out of changing my questions for eight hours. Is there any number I can call to prove that I am the real owner of my itunes account so my girlfriend will be able to use her ipad to purchase new apps without having to go through the trouble of using one of my other apple devices? Random information: I believe my questions were set back in 2007 when I purchased my first ipod nano, since then I have used this same itunes account for my own ipod touch and ipad 2 and my girlfriends iphone 1st generation. I have never run into a problem regarding my questions before on any of these devices

  • Can somebody give some real time questions for alv report

    hi guru
    can somebody give some real time questions for alv report.
    answers also.

    subhasis.

    hi,
    The ALV is a set of function modules and classes and their methods which are added to program code. Developers can use the functionality of the ALV in creating new reports,  saving time which might otherwise have been spent on report enhancement
    The common features of report are column    alignment, sorting, filtering, subtotals, totals etc. <b>To implement these, a lot of coding and logic is to be put. To avoid that we can use a concept called ABAP List Viewer (ALV).</b>
    Using ALV, we can have three types of reports:
       1. Simple Report
       2. Block Report
       3. Hierarchical Sequential Report
    <b>Reward useful points</b>

    Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
    When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
    I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
    However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
    So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
    Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

    One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.
