Hi all.. I've got a question for you if you feel the need to reply.. We're working on a house remodel and we're about a month into the project (demo is all done and framing is coming soon). Anyway, I'm planning on running CAT6 from almost all rooms to a central location in the house where all...

Does anyone here have a Proliant 1850R running Windows 2000? Could you peek in Windows Device Manager under System devices and tell me what you sell for the Intel 82371AB/EB PCI to USB driver? Ours shows an information error saying it cannot be configured because of our system bios not...

Hi guys.. Hope you all had a great weekend.. My Craigslist searcher came up with the following ad and I've got a note in to the seller asking about specifics for the machine & external drive enclosure.. I'm thinking that this may be a good way to get a cheap drive enclosure of the UE variety (I...

Hello, New to the server scene, just picked up a DL380 and am looking for setup info / software to initialize the raid drives. Thanks for any info. Mike

Hello folks, We have to configure Proliant 6000 with SmartArray 3200. And all I can find on compaq site is Drivers/Software for WinNT, Win2k etc So, we are running into chicken and egg problem. As cannot install the OS until the Drive Array is configure with the logical drive. And there is no DOS...

Question: is this server going to run on two inputs of 110vac each or is it going to require two inputs of 240vac to just come up. Thanks.

I am trying to bring back to life a PL3000 (it is my first time to work on that kind of system). The system died (have no details about how it happened), the board seemed dead (no beep codes) although the LEDs light up normaly : - by the bottom of the board, one amber when the power cord is...

Greetings! I am trying to install additional drives to my Smart 2SL disk array on a Proliant 1600. Originally, the machine had 3 drives configured as a RAID 5. I used the Compaq Disk array Utility to add the 2 new drives on the same controller but seperate array. My question is... how do I get my...

Hi all.. Seems busy in here lately.. Anyway, just a quick question about redundant power supplies on any Proliants (since I suspect they'll all pretty much act the same).. I've got a 6400R with dual supplies and I stumbled across a HP page that had power calculators (in excel) where you could tell...

Hi I've put FC5 on an old ML370 and it won't control the fans. I have the Software Maintenance Packs up to v7.4 with the Linux Proliant Support Pack, but it won't install in Fedora - says it only supports RHEL3&4 I think I can fiddle it, but... Has anyone done this before?

Does anyone know of a small tower or desktop enclosure that a rackmount 2U system like DL385 could be inserted into to convert to a "desktop" format? HP doesn't have the part, so third party is okay. -- Will

Hi, first of all, sorry for my bad english. I use it not often, so some words may be not right. I've got a Compaq Proliant 5500R with 4xPIII Xeon's with 550 Mhz an 3,4 Gig of RAM. The Compaq Smart Array controller 3200 is at PCI bus 5 or 6 and has two Array: A is a raid 5 with three scsi drives....

I've run into a catch 22 with some Compaq 6400R servers that were donated to the Hospice I support. I want to wipe everything out and start fresh. If I boot the Smart Start CD, it goes through several gyrations and then tells me that I have to re-install windows on the "S:" drive. If I let it...

Is there any way to force drives that are inserted into a 4214R drive array to autostart? Apparently the host is sending the start unit to these drives by default. I have an application exposing drives through fibre channel where the start unit is not sent by the host, and I need the drive to...

Anybody know the location for Windows 2003 (64bit/32bit) drivers for the Compaq 64 Bit Fibre Channel Adapter, Compaq spare part 161290-001 and option part 120186-b21?

Perhaps a primitive question to someone, but why does it power itself on, all by itself . I still use a bunch of the old DL380G1's (dual 1gig, 2 gig ram) and recently started upgrading to Fedora 6. The severers are working flawlessly, all the health stuff installed and that too is...

I don't know if this is a problem specific for Proliants, so maybe this is slightly off topic, but I hope someone has encountered the same issue before and has a solution: I have an old DL380 (R1) running CentOS 4, a RHEL clone. I never got the builtin NIC to work, so last weekend I fitted an...

Compaq Presario 5528 Pentium 75 MHz Originally Win95 upgraded to Win98 Now is Win98 Second Edition 2222 This machine seems to function ok with one exception There is a double short beep on startup possibly from a BIOS error and Win98SE keeps trying to install drivers for an OTHER/UNKNOWN DEVICE

On a P600 controller, after rebooting it has inverted all of the logical device numbers! Drives were ID=0 ID=1 and ID=2. The 0 drive is now 2. The 2 drive is now 0. How is this even possible? How can you recover back the original drive order? -- Will
