Hi Folks, Am reaquainting myself with compaq servers after some years - need some help! Have picked up a compaq 3000R 450Mhz server with twin 9.1 GB disks. It is in an unknown state - though I was told by the seller that it used to run FreeBSD. When I boots It spends five mins in the "Option...

what is everyone favorite? I am thinking of going with a Travan 10/20 but need to look and see what my server will accept (SCSI or IDE). Just thought I would ask to see.

Hi, I've found some RAM on ebay which I hope will fit my Proliant 3000 (2xP3-500). 2x128 MB. It's from a Compaq workstation, don't know which one. Part no. is 306431-002 and spare part no. is 317756-001 (according to some website). I'm just not sure it'll fit, so I hope you guys can help me out...

I am thinking of replacing my 200MHz Pentium Pro 5500 with something a bit faster. There are a lot of Xeon 5500s on eBay with 400-550 Mhz Xeons, or I have an opportunity to pick up a Proliant 7000 locally cheap. Will I be able to put the 3GB of 228471-001 256MB ram chips and the 199598-001 4.3GB...

Hi, Has anyone tried installing a RILOE in to a Deskpro EN system? Will it work? I know it's not spec'd for it, but I figure if I can use one in my Prosignia 200 (P166) server it should work. Thanks, Doug

Have just acquired a "new" RIB board However, it shipped with no password on the tag. The MAC address is there, but no pwd. 1. Anyone got a URL to documentation, or could email me pdfs? 2. Server boots, but there is no display on the monitor... I can http to the RIL board. Does the RIL board...

About a year ago I obtained 4 of these beauties, together with the appropriate 12v VRMs. Now, they don't work in a ProLiant 5000. :-( But looking at the Compaq site, they *do* appear in the Proliant 5000 parts/spares list (with a list price of about $2500 each!!!) Questions for the panel 1....

Is there a trick to adding two Compaq NC-3134 ethernet cards to a Windows NT 4.0 box? When I select Add for the second card, and insert the Compaq OEMSETUP.INF on the most recent ethernet distribution floppies, Compaq simply re-installs the existing card. The second card never shows up in the...

I just put Windows 2000 server on my Proliant 5500 Pentium Pro because Microsoft stopped supporting Windows NT on Jan 1st. As I installed it, I was reminded of a bug that caused me a lot of confusion the first time I saw it: After installing NT or W2K, on the first boot you get this error: Code...

Anyone know if the Compaq 5000 supports 256mb DIMMS? I have four fitted*, but the system only shows 256mb total. With anymore DIMMS fitted, Netware 4 abends (although it works fine with the other DIMMS on their own) According to the dox, it takes 2gb in 128mb DIMMS. *Allegedly these are 256MB...

Hi New here, but looks like a good forum :-) Just acquired a 6400R server, fitted with 2 x PIII Xeon 500 2mb CPUs. What is the max CPU speed this server will take? I'm wondering if ROM upgrade (or unspecified DIP settings) will allow better than the 5.5x100 - specifically I'm looking for 7x100...

I have acquired a number of Compaq scsi hard drives and would like to use them in a non Compaq system. I hasve connected them but the drives to not function normally, however they do work in a Compaq. Does anyone know what the secret is (jumpers, firmware, etc)?
