Hi, I have a 6500 PPro/200 with a 2/P array configured as RAID5 with a backup drive. I've been thinking that I may upgrade to a Smart Array 3200 if I run across one that's a good deal on e-bay (i've seen a few the past month or so that have gone for less than $40). Now, my question is what would...

Hello Server Fans, I have been busy trying to build a response and fulfillment system to better serve my brethren in the older hardware community with their requests for Compaq Smart Start ISO's. As of this time, these are what is available and how they have been recently improved: For all...

Just got a used Presario 7000US that will not boot up. Most of the time when I press the power switch, nothing happens. Sometimes, I hear the fans start for a few seconds, then stop again. I tested the power supply with another motherboard and it worked fine. I also replaced the power switch with...

Please help me Because of the age (old) of my system Compaq/HP does not support my system no more. I have an old Presario 9548 that is running on Win95. Well, to be truthful, it is not running anything at all. My system came with a floppy and a CD in the QuickRestore package. I have lot/misplaced...

I have a Proliant 800 server with 3 HDs on RAID 5 under Smart Array 3200, they are non-hotswappable hard drives. Currently one hard drive is down indicated by Smart Array Utility, first of all I would like to identify which one is dead. So by looking into the indicator of the hard drive, there is...

Anyone know if I would need securepath with Linux & MSA1000 arrays? I'm guessing I can just use the qlogic 23xx failover driver. Qlogic driver seems to be designed for situations with where array's paths have a common wwn, but different wwpn's (or vice versa? something like that.) It uses the...

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...

Does anyone have it, while I'm waiting its arrival via snail mail?

Hey Troops ... I just picked up a 6400R for a song. It didnt have a CDROM drive, and I found a combo floppy/CD from a DL580 so I picked it up. Neither the system, nor the drive combo came with the tiny little cable that takes a normal IDE40 pin header, and bends it to a micro IDE40 cable. Big40 =...

Hei, can anyone refer to a link where to download Compaq SmartStart 5.5 (or older) ISO file ? I need to set Raid for Pro Liant 1600 server. Thanks for helping.

Hello, I inherited an old ProLiant 800 server, and wish to install FreeBSD on it. Unfortunately, it keeps giving me a boot-time prompt, where I must either hit F1 or F10. Unfortunately hitting F10 tells me that it can't find the utility, and we didn't inherit any of the setup disks. What...

Has anyone tried to upgrade a Proliant 1600R from Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003? Officially it's not supported. Thanks. John

We are running 3 Compaq ProLiant 6500r quad xeon pIII servers and having trouble configuring the software for our Compaq UPS Model R3000H-NA (208v-240v) with Compaq Multi-Server Card 123 508-B21 installed. The operating system for all 3 servers is Windows Server 2003 standard. The UPS group...

Hello Serverphiles, In the past serveral people have asked (including myself), whether the RA4000 storage cabinet would support drives larger than the advertised 36G. I once surmised that since the 4000 and 4100 use the same FCArray contoller in the chassis, and the 4100 has pubished support for...

Hi, I am in need of some assistance configuring my ProLiant 7000. I have Quad Pentium Pro 200's installed, but no matter what I try the OS will only recognise 1 CPU. I've been reading that I need to have the machine re-write the mptable correctly, and others suggest changing APIC settings. I've...
