While no errors were reported on memtest86 and the IDRAC showed health good, I was kind of alarmed on how high the CPU temperatures were getting and how slow the fans were running. I wanted to make sure there were no memory issues and check the heat of the processors to make sure everything was cooling correctly. Over the weekend I ran a 48 hour memtest86 running all the cores. I received all three servers Friday, visually inspected everything, and racked all equipment. I spent a while looking for a reliable company that specialized in used hardware and found one that was in business for over 20 years and had a decent return & warranty policy. I’ve always purchased Dell Direct but the budget just wasn’t there at this time for new servers. Due to budget restraints, we recently purchased 3 Dell R720xd servers for a small VMware cluster.
