Good idea for the future, but how do you make this conversion if you can't start it up? I wouldn't move the raid over to another server until I had exhausted all other possibilities.

You're assuming it is running RAID. Hard to tell from the zoomed in picture we had to look at, but if it's in a factory I'm betting it is a tower not a rack mountable box and I've dealt with enough of the smaller Proliant boxes were I have found most to have no RAID. If this is so then load the HDD in another machine running said software and let it image the boot drive to a VM.
We'll need Joan to pipe in soon with more detail.

Yes. It's a server

That's Michael the best option for sure. Once you get a virtualized server then you don't have to worry about the permissions to copy files in your backups, you got freedom in terms of assigning the space that a server can use...
Anyway this was out of scope now.
At the end I've ended getting a normal PSU and connecting plenty of conversion plugs around to be able to connect everything.
Now it works and I'm everyone here is happy so ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

You have a backup right?

Yes, I had it, the problem was more on the side of getting the right hardware to plug all the physical keys and licenses for several of the softwares that are used than anything else.
Now we are running again!

I've got a new PSU and several conversion plugs for 23€ which is fat cheaper than the 300+/-€ that HP asked for a new one... plus the fact they would have needed 2 weeks or more to get it to my company...
Or get a technician here after 3 weeks adding it's cost to the 300+/-€ of the PSU.
Now I'm working for almost nothing and it looks nice!
Crossing fingers and hoping it will last long!

|

Yep, all those paths have been followed, all of them failed when HP told me that they could have the PSU at our door after 2 or 3 weeks.
At the end I've got a new PSU and a set of conversion cables and running!

That went better than expected - round two either tomorrow or early next week, then a faceto--face at the end of next week. If I get through that, they're targeting a New Year start.

It's as taste tester for Gordons - there is a lot of competition.

Chris is running out of beer stock in datacenters. Looks like the hamsters started to party every night. Now he's cutting it down for us through small mugs.
btw, Congratulations

..Is a software engineer without Web skills?
I call myself a Developer for Microsoft technologies but not knowing Asp.net/ Javascript & the whole lot of words like HTML5 , Knockout, etc etc makes me feel small.
And the most of the job requirements sent to me asks for , .net Framework,C#, WPF, Asp.net-MVC, WCF, . .
Very few ends up with C++/C#,Winforms,WPF,WCF. in particular when it's a combo of C++/C#.
But there's too many jobs pulling C# towards asp.net than towards C++.

A software engineer will use the best languages/tools to get the job done.
I don't think you must know web development to be known a software developer, but I think it's always good to know the basics of stuff that matters.

Yup but there's too many things to cover. I was doing C++ & C# networking & systems development an year ago. Now grasping WPF & WCF for current projects that deals with services & UI. Now when I take a peek into Web it looks a Whole-New-World to me. Asp.net Webforms didn't require anything to be learnt other than sessions and few things specific to the web. But I don't consider Webforms as a true webskill. It was something like people doing "Web" pages with VB6 OCX controls.
Asp.net MVC looks like a real web stuff from MS. Looks like a match for PHP-Zend MVC frameworks that many of my real web dev friends use. I'm trying to set my feet over it. When I do, it'll be "One small step for an MS developer, A giant leap for the Vunikind"

I've only dabbled in CSS and my results look like something from the 90's. I don't get paid to do web development and it's the same with databases, although I've spent time with them I learned enough to know I don't care for them and I am doing fine without them.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Most job requirements ask for a whole bunch of things they're not actually using. There seems to be a standard list of "stuff to require" that everyone copies.

Unfortunately, that list is all that HR looks at, so you can almost guarantee that CVs from the best candidates for the actual job are dumped in the waste bin before you get to see them.

Totally complete. The web is just a load of wishy-washy nonsense for the unwashed Apple brigade.
Personally I don't go near it. Enterprise Systems - that's what it's about. Not Mickey Mouse HTML.
