Nieuwe server

Post by **TANE** » Sun May 03, 2009 1:40 am

I have done the firmware upgrade and know the first part of the install is running.
Firmware upgrade was not possible in the Macmini..i had to do it on a PC..wow try to opening the Mac mini...

It was more wise to do the firmware upgrade after Pieter pointed.

After some upgrades en few installation.
Windows 2003 server is running smooth on the Mac mini
Windows XP was only accessing 2,7 gb memory.

I had to do some manual tweaking /installation to get all work.
power consumption with Windows 2003 was 10 watt higher than windows XP
After installing the chipset video drivers from Nvidia power consumption was dropped..but there was no access possible to the machine with RDP.
Rollback solved problem.. after that I installed the Nvidia drivers from there website.

Chak, did i understand good? you've installed WINDOWS on a MAc? or you did it using a virtualization suite and the mac boots with OS-X?

Usage with 2 machines running
18 watt

The disk is shows some problems.
I have to check this..

@Drmacchi: I have installed Windows 2003 on a Mac Mini
Maybe i will go back to Windows XP..since Windows 2003 is not supported.

Are you running 2003 on Mac?

You are correct...but lot of XP drivers will not install on 2003 server.

If so, do you simply boot with windows install cd like a normal x86 pc and do setup? what about the firmware you were telling us?thanks

Yep just like a normal PC. There are some limitations in OS. Not for every OS are drivers available.
In the MAC there us no bios

Firmware was for the SSD disk..
Upgrade of the firmware in the mac did not work..because of the limited firmware software form intel.

In the meaning of the words "next-next-finish" or after patching inf files/unpacking cab files ?

some of the drivers is next next finis..others you have to look for alternatives on the net
I have reinstalled Windows XP..to be sure that the SSD is working fine..
maybe later i will install Win2003 again

after 24 h and few crashes Mac Mini with SSD is no longer starting.

The Nvidia chip set is just not compatible with Intel X25-M SSD
All the data including OS is lost.
Problem is in the Windows Part..
I will replace the SSD with 500GB HD tomorrow and will start testing again..
