From: Dr. David Kirkby on 26 Jul 2010 16:43 I need to arrange the purchase of a disk (probably 300 GB is the largest) for a T5240. I can't however seem to find a parts list, and so know what is the correct part number to order. Can anyone show me where I can get a list of the parts for the T5240, so can determine what disk drive to order? Dave

Forty pins mean that the disk is EIDE. Fifty or more pins mean strongly suggests SCSI (pronounced "scuzzy"). Some recent drives have a fiber optic interface; I've never seen one.

Those are all ancient. Current systems take SAS and SATA drives, or in some cases, FMODs (SSD JEDEC modules). -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup]

Go to Oracle's web site and follow the links to buy a new T5240. Once you've selected your configuration, there's a button to email the details out as a price quote. The part numbers of each component will be in the quote, along with the price per unit. |
