Is someone here familiar with what is the difference between the original MSA1000 controller part number 218231-B21 and the newer version 218231-B22? Are there any reasons to avoid the older model? Are they functionally identical parts? -- Will

Hi all.. Since I'm pondering over the purchase of an upgraded filesystem with possibly a new controller, I've got to deal with moving my existing data (on 4x36.4Gb drives) to the new drives (either 2 or 4 of 146Gb drives). What I'm planning on doing is using my recently acquired DLT 35/70 tape...

Hi, I bought a used VGA card that I wanted to use in my 1850R to get a decent video performance. It is an nVidia TNT2 32MB PCI.

Hi all, I am looking to add a RAID card to my ML530. I think the ML530 (G1) came with a Compaq Smart Array 431 option? Is there a better choice? Thanks David

In general what has been the experience of others with the Compaq 4214R hotswap case? I've had great luck with the earlier hotswap cases that did just ultrawide, such as the Compaq U2 hotswap case (using the holder style SCSI hotswap trays). But the 4214R has proven really unreliable for...

Hey Group, Can anyone give me the P/N for a 68pin intneral to external cable ? What I need to do is run a cable from the internal 68pin on-board SCSI header, and have the other end mount to a knockout or PCI-knockout. This is for a legacy DLT tape drive support on the new ML370 G3. I have used...

Jeff/LC et-al, Do you buy your DLT tapes (if you use them still) online or via one or more retail stores? I've called a few places and nobody seems to carry them except via mail-order places.. Is there some chain that might be available here in the LA area that might have them or is my best bet...

Hi, Recently I picked up a PL800e and found the form factor to be very close, if not bang on to an ML370G1. I was wondering if I could simply upgrade the system board on this server and still use the p/s or i/o riser? Thanks

I have just acquired a Compaq Proliant 800 with a 400 MHz PII. I would like to know if I can replace the standard non hot swap drive cage with a Hot swap cage from a Proliant 1600? If yes is it just a matter of plugging in the cage? James

I have nothing to say...I just wanted to jump in here somewhere.

I've 3 Proliant 3000's that I'm parting out, as well as one Proliant 6500. All systems currently test out fine in diagnostics.
