Anybody any idea how long this server takes to complete its POST? I had a Proliant that took an age and was frustrating when used in a temporary desktop replacement application. Thanks.

Could you not set the BIOS to perform minimal post checks?

I suppose it is doing more comprehensive memory and other checks, being a server.

Sorry for asking but I don't get how to claim cash back. Can anyone guide in full please. Thanks a million in advance :smiley:
Even the versions of this server with better CPUs are fantastic value.
I really want to replace my old Microserver, but after a custom Fan kit, it is almost silent - gutless as it is, that is important in the living room as a HTPC

How does this compare to the HP Microserver which pops up often on here?

You would have to go onto a CPU Benchmark site to compare the raw power.
Depending on what you are planning, they each have bundles with some ram and hard disks. I tend to think that 4GB of ram, or a 250GB HDD are worthless and will just wind up in the bin, but they might suit your plans?
The current HP has a real ILO which is fantastic for out of band where the Dell is pretty poor. in a home setup though does anyone really care?
