We just installed asterisk for a customer using a Dell 2850. It has 3
pci slots. My customers configuration contained a TE411p Quad Span PRI,
and a TDM400P with 4 FXS Modules. The only problem that we had with the
2850 was getting power to the TDM400P. We located a power connector on
the backplane that supplied the required 12v. I think it was originally
intended to power a tape backup drive. We ultimately sacraficed a power
supply to get at it's 12V P4 connector. We then used a voltmeter to put
together a pinout for the dell power port, and frankensteined together a
cable that could be used to power the TDM400P. Aside from the power
issue, the platform seems rock solid.

Hey everyone,
I've been doing a lot of research into a decent server for Asterisk
but I seem to be running and circles and now I am turning to you. The
issue I have is it needs to be rack mountable (so a Dell SC430 isn't
going to work) and preferably have 3 pci ports. The problem that I
seem to be running into is that when I look at servers from Dell or
IBM or the like they only seem to support PCI-X which (from what I
understand) does not support the Digium cards that we already have and
that they still make. So if anyone has a suggestion or has a server
they rather prefer for it's reliability, expandability, etc, please
recommend it!
Thank you in advance,
Mitchel
