Also, MinersRus, you might toss those CPUs in and the box won't boot.  If that's the case, you need to go snag a torrent or two.  All HP's BIOS stuff is locked behind a paywall but the firmware DVD and SPP DVD's are available via torrent.

Default BIOS setting is with HT Assist on, which explains your 12MB L3.

Are you still using 64T?  At 12MB, my boxes are running 56T with some at 2x memory.  64T was significantly slower.

I've gutted all my boxes to 16gb of udimms.  This has saved 50w at a performance penalty of about 30-40H/s.  It also allowed me to sell the bigger more expensive memory.

Minerus:  Protip:  Best CPU's you can get for the 580 series is the 8837.  I had a set of the E7-4870s and they performed worse than the 8837's and I tried EVERYTHING.  You won't be happy w/ the 4830's, I think you'll top out around 1000H/s.  I hope you are going to be adding GPUs to the box or it will just barely pay for it's own electricity.  The X series of CPUs aren't even worth trying to resell, they have become targets for practice at 100y.  

Download Ubuntu 16.04.  Install, it's a no brainer.  Then just search xmr-stak install ubuntu and you'll find several guides that walk you through it.  By now I have it memorized and should have just used a docker...

I racked out for another 20 R815's but I'm going to HODL at the 8 I've got going for now.  Their ROI has taken a big shit ATM and they cost me $1.25 each a day to run basically even w/ my energy costs at .08/kwh.

I'm sure Sundownz has done something similar to what I did and bought an X3 or in his case, ten...

Sundownz,

Are you running the R815's with HT Assist turned on or off in the bios?  With it on, the cpu's only report 12mb of L3 and with it off they report 16mb.  I've seen better speeds with the lower l3.  How about you?

You know we could be working together on things like this, I don't have the power you have, but I'm pulling over 13kwh now so that should gives you a rough idea of what I can bring to the table.

I'm still not sure why you choose to ignore me.  I'm a team player!

Those miners have been in use for months now by Baikal themselves...  They know the forks are coming so they are dumping the HW to recoup costs and all the mining is profit.  If you've been paying attention to things in the Cryptonight world, there has been a lot of complaints of "nicehash" pumping coins...  10:1 says that all the massive network spikes on various coins wasn't Nicehash but these miners.

Not all Xeon's support the AES-NI instruction set.  You will need to upgrade that CPU for mining.

Scroll to bottom, you will see it says AES NO.

Ark should be your first stop whenever looking for intel processors for mining. 

From the quick look I did, I don't think you have PSU's that can use breakout boards.  The Liteon's in the Dells and the HP ones are readily available on Ebay.  From what I saw of the connectors, technically I guess you could MacGyver something by soldering leads to the pins of the PSU but you would still have to buy cabling.

Picking up an HP1200w PSU and breakout board with cables is normally ~100 or so on ebay.

Breakout boards...  All my HP server iron have GPUs running along with the CPUs.  Boxes like the r815 that don't have the onboard connectors to power them but could easily run GPUs with the addition of external PSU and risers.

Please show me where you can purchase these cards in bulk at a price that is not astronomical as I would love to fill my empty PCIe slots with them.  Some of us are on the path of putting whatever iron on the fire that is making money, even if it isn't exactly the most efficient or latest wiz bang contraption.  Even better, when / if () GPU prices get back to normal, we have tons of open slots ready to accept them with minimal config and downtime.  Until then, they at the minimum, more than cover the expense for electricity of the combined GPU/CPU mining activity and earn back their own cost, slowly but surely, even in the depressed market we are in compared to 3 months ago.

Someone might see what I did there...

Until then, I snipe cards when and where I can if they are relatively close to what msrp was.

This would correlate to the 6344's I tested.  A pair does 800h/s.  Xmr-stak default config is 9T per CPU with 3T at low power for double mem and consumption of all L2/L3.  In dual configuration this is drawing 250w from the wall.  I tried setting 24T and 1x on memory usage but that was 40H/s slower and same power draw.

Sundownz don't like me.  I just wanna be fwiends and swap knowledge. 

I have done my testing under Windows.  Am prepping to convert all my boxes to Linux so will hopefully play with this on Ubuntu later today.  I will also try this on a box that purely mines instead of my personal box that mines and gets regular usage.

Miner has crashed to desktop with no errors, window just shut down..  Reverting back to EWBF until further development has occurred.  I see potential.  Appeared to be 30 to 40 hash slower than EWBF from mining app reporting.

Back from a system failure less than 5 minutes after running the program.  PC became unresponsive, mouse cursor stopped working and then the screen went black.  Music still playing but had to reboot.  System has been solid on the other miners with my current OC's.  I also run xmr-stak on my CPU along w/ the 3 1080s that are in this box.

I am loading the box in the same manner and trying again.

I changed the port to 3443 in the bat file and I have now connected.  My current hash rate on this rig on flypool is 1.6 kH/ w/ EWBF's miner.  I will update tomorrow with what this value has changed to running your software.

I'm executing the exe via a batch file and I had the port in there.  However I copied my EWBF config and it was using port 3333.

Ah, the spec sheet only listed 6100 series for that box.  Hrm, I have one of those.  I might have to find some CPUs

After killing myself for the last 24 hours troubleshooting 2 r815's I picked up, I have learned a thing or two.

If the cover is not on the box, it will not produce full power.  Board will limit CPU power evident by power drawn at plug and performance in hash.  I chased my tail for quite a bit yesterday and today until I figured it out.  I got the servers Friday and only had enough memory on hand to get 2 cpu's running in one box.  I saw appropriate hash numbers on it.  Since I got 2 different speed CPUs for testings on the boxes, I tried the other set in dual mode and also saw the appropriate numbers.  I then noticed the 50 memory sticks I ordered had arrived yesterday afternoon and rushed to get the boxes fully up and running.  Since I had so many issues with memory population with the 1GB UDIMMS and even various 2GB RDIMMS I have, I had left the covers off and then could not figure out WhyTF in 4 cpu configs, I was down on power by 500H/s.  They are also very picky about the memory that goes in them.  Memory that works fine on other boxes comes up as failures on the r815s.

You must populate 16 DIMM slots.  If they aren't all the same size, you will have an annoying F1 key to push everything the box boots, I have not found a way around that yet.  The box will boot with 8 sticks but multiple threads will not have hwloc bind memory so performance will be garbage.

You will also get a slightly higher hash rate (100H/s or so) by disabling the gui and running from CLI only.

These things run great off 16GB usb flash drives.  

le sigh...  

Are you plugged into the iLo port or an actual network port?  If you noticed there are FIVE Ethernet jacks on the back of the server.  iLo port is also Ethernet but it will not get you on the network.  It is access to the subsystem that runs before the server actually boots an OS which gives you full control for monitoring, remote deployment etc.  Looking from the back, you should be plugged into the furthest network jack to the right, labeled #1.

Also, that box is going to pull more wattage than produce hash.  Only 61xx series Opterons with no AES in that box.

Probably cost.  From the looks of the pictures, he has lots and lots of empty space in his warehouse.  Those shelving units are probably around $100 a piece or so.  Way cheaper than even used racks.

I'm using similar racks because I had a ton of them from my prior business.
