I'm using DL380 with SmartArray 5Si under Windows 2003. Is there a way I can change the Port number reported by the ACU for a given drive slot? I had a pair of drives in another DL380 and removed one to put in the new system, hoping to use it as a starting point for building the...

HP's current fibre switches from Brocade are known as the B-Series. What makes a B-series versus a non B-series switch? Are B-Series based on Linux core, and the earlier ones are the Windriver core? We have a Compaq branded 2/8-EL, which from the boot prompt appears to be a Brocade 3200 with...

Hi guys.. I finally found an enclosure that should work for me with a price that wasn't too bad I guess ($51) which included 127Gb of drives.. I guess I'll have to keep an eye out for some rails and a cable to plug it into the P6400.. Anyway, I would have liked it a little cheaper, but not too bad...

I was given a Compaq ML350 D2 (first generation) server by a friend. At this time it has a single 866Mhz/133Mhz Slot1 P3 in it, and I was hoping to be able to upgrade it to a pair of 1Ghz/133Mhz Slot1 P3s. I have the latest BIOS available applied. Has anyone ever been able to get a 1Ghz CPU...

I'm converting a 1600 into a desktop machine for a mate. He's had the 1600 for ages as a server but now needs to use it as a desktop machine for doing general purpose stuff. I've loaded it with the latest version of Ubuntu 6.10, which looks very nice, but now I've come to an issue with the addition...

We currently have numerous Compaq/HP R3000 UPS's that I have set up in each rack that are attached to a UPS group controller server via serial cable. The UPS group members are "attached" to the group controller via TCP/IP. When I setup the compaq power agents, they defaulted to a 5 minute...

OK, I know, the reseller told me these drivers were not hot-swap. I knew that before I bough them. However what I was not prepared for was the little sticker on the server when we unboxed it which said the LED on the front of the hard drive caddies will not work. So how am I supposed to know...
