INTEL XEON GOLD 6254 x2 in Lenovo SR650 Upgrade - 1336

In this video I upgrade my 24/7 Lenovo SR650 (this runs everything, no room to mess around)
I am replacing it´s two Intel Xeon® Scalable Gold 6134 CPU's. with two 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, the Gold 6254 CPU's.
This is an upgrade from a total of 16 cores,, to 36 cores. on top of that I now balances the RAM (which it was not before) and I go from 96GB,, to 768GB.

My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.

I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time.

Always get the itch to start tinkering with a system after watching a video. Thanks for the content, Morten.

[TKomoski]

It's definitely been a long time for a CPU swap, patiently watching

[DonBishopDonSongs]

Thanks Morten, good info. Good to see that the HP Memory will run well on the server... Don

[Thessalonian]

Allways nice to watch you work whit your servers and inside of them and learn some every time..:)...

Oh hi, love the videos. Keep up the good work!

A friend of mine that lives in the more northern part of italy does film composing and 2d/3d animations with 3dsmax and photoshop. He spent 1500€ for a lenovo sr650 with 2 6148 processors (20 cores 2.4ghz up to 3, 7) and 128 gb of ddr4 3000mhz lrdimm. He says that it has been working really nice, even considering the power consumption of the old rendering farm with something called HP g5 and g7s. Not a problem. He divided the processing power in 4 vms with 10 cores each and uses a program that splits all the jobs into smaller ones to work on single vms. He could utilize more of the p.power. Then he uses his favourite old g7 with a graphics card to do occasionally video renders with photoshop or he uses his own pc.

wow, beautiful fortress, I admire your machines very much, they have great computing power and I also admire you very much, there are many interesting films in your show, you are very nice, very intelligent.

NICE! I just upgeaded my Lenovo St550 to dual Silver 4114's & 512gb ram !

5:10 The newest Xeon plastic brackets has a small metal lever to help you get the CPU off the heatsink.

You should do a video of a tour of the playhouse and give the why and the how.

Like is this the second house? What kind of internet do you have? How many racks are there? What's in the whole stack etc etc.

Like what is your day job lol?

Just saw this chan on a reddit thread, glad i found it .

[GeoffSeeley]

You probably should upgrade the BIOS first before putting in newer CPUs. It would be a pain to put the old ones back in just to update the BIOS if it wasn't compatible 🙂

Nice upgrade there..Has similar score than a Ryzen 7950x in r20

[ValentinHRT]

I think it’s time to update the esxi and vcsa, the 7.0.3 is a good option even though the 8.0.2 has been released. Good job with the cpus replacement.

Hi Morton,

Since watching your clips(1328 & 1330) on the little DAS you're building, I have bought an Adaptec AEC 82885T expander, and connected it to a Supermicro SAS846TQ (pass through type) backplane, I tried it with an Adaptec ASR 5000 series RAID controller, but it wasn't compatible, I tried an LSI 9201-16e, and that didn't recognize the attached drives, I tried an LSI 9260-4i, and it found all the drives, however it allocated some of the drives on a very high numbered port number (if you understand), so I thought I'd buy an Adaptec 6000 series controller (as recommended by Adaptec for the expanders), an ASR 6805T-8i, and it recognizes the expander but it only "finds" some of the drives.
The backplane has 4 rows of 6 SATA/SAS ports, and it only finds 4 of the 6 drives attached.
I double checked that I had it all connected correctly, and it was, so I am at a loss on why it doesn't find ALL 6 drives.
I'm going to test it directly attaching the hard drive to the
I did read that it will only support 20 drives in a JBOD setup, off ports A, B, C, D & E, and not using F for anything.
Hopefully you can understand what I'm trying to explain.
If you have any suggestions, I would be very grateful.
Regards

More info, I have been trying to update the expander, as I think it has a very old version, but I can't get maxView to open/connect, and I can't figure out the correct cli commands....but I think there's something wrong with the expander, ports A & B do not recognise any drives using an Adaptec controller, but LSI controllers do, but the slot numbers are high, which doesn't make any sense.
VERY frustrating.

Thank you Morten. I am lucky to see scalable Intel processors, and I might be lucky too, to get my hand on them late next year 😢. But 768gb RAM?

[timbox]

I ran Cinebench R23 for shits n giggles on a single Ryzen 9 3900X 12C/24T and it scored 17, 208, whilst running 4 Hyper-V machines in the background... but you did beat me in R15, only managed 4320... 🙂

that Data Center is too quite sir, Power Prices have come down too

[lpseem]

I bet You could switch power to powersave profile and still be faster than the previous CPU. I always prefer the cheapest profile I can set.
