I just setup a SC420 with two TDMO4b cards
in it and it works just fine. No problems what so ever with it so far.

I have head that
the SC prefixed Dells are not good to use with Digium hardware. Considering how
picky my TE405P cards were in other low end Dell servers, I would suggest using
an 1850 instead.

OTOH, if it does work, please let me know :-)
If you go to small biz, you can get the SC1425 trimmed down with dual 2.8hgz
for under $1k

Hello,
I've been asked to build a
couple of Gateway servers for a client
w/ TE405P hardware, and have been looking around at various 1U options.
I've been looking at SuperMicro and Tyan barbones boxes as possible 
platforms, but then was directed to Dell's SC1425 by a friend. Short
story, is that you can purchase a 2x3.0Ghz/1GigDDR400/1xSATA box in a 1U
form factor for $1,498.00. This seems almost too good to be true, so I'm 
asking if anyone has had any experience with this box?

I'm not up on my PCI terminology, but as I understand it, the TE405P can
only be used in a 32 bit 33Mhz slot at 5.0 Volts. This SC1425 lists a
1x 64-bit/1xxMHz PCI-X slot under it's expandability information.
I'd 
venture to guess this is probably NOT going to work with a TE405P.

That being said, if it works, great. If not, what 1U boxes are people
using IN PRODUCTION w/ TE405P cards?

Doing what? Ulaw? That could probably be done on a single P4 2.8 Ghz. If 
you want to transcode from Ulaw to something else, you need to scale the 
hardware appropriately. Every case is different.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Dell PowerEdge SC1425 w/ TE405P?

2005-04-22 Thread Brian Leyton
I'm interested in the answer to this question as well, except that my
project scope (and budget) are quite a bit lower than yours.  I've always
preferred buying Dell, but in this case, I think it may be overkill for this
project.  I'd really like to know what inexpensive rack-mount servers would
work well with Digium hardware (TDM400 in my case).  I'm basically looking
at 2 TDM cards in one server, and 1 each in 2 others, connecting to PBXes at
all sites, to be used for networking the 3 phone systems together into one
dialplan.  Nothing too fancy (yet).

If this information is posted conspicuously somewhere, and I'm just missing
it, please let me know :-)
