Hiya all We are trying to install a 10K series Compaq/Hp cabinet to support an EVA5000 the cab has 2 PDU's is it ok to feed the 2 PDU's from separate phases or will this be a health & safety issue ie the potential difference across the 2 phases could reach 480 volts. any URL's to the info would...

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...

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

Not seen any posts here and wondered if it still worked ! Nutcracker, did you get around to checking those switch settings in that 370 ? Phil

The quickspecs for the MSA50 SAS JBOD enclosure say the rack rail option is 3R-A5281-AA. Does this go by alternate spare or option or assembly numbers? I don't find the 3R part number version on any of the price comparison services. -- Will

Someone locally is selling a used DL580 for $80.. It's populated w/ 2Gb of RAM, and two 900Mhz Xeon processors.. The only thing I don't know about yet is what generation machine it is.. Anyway, assuming there are no huge differences between generations, is there anything special I should know...

Is there any conversion kit that will convert a DL380 G4 from SCSI to SAS? -- Will

Greetings: I would like to find a DL360 G2 (or newer) cheap with reasonable shipping costs (unlike on eBay); it need not have an HD or much RAM but should have a CPU (and embedded 1000BaseT). A working mainboard would be another option (with proprietary cables if you have 'em). Regards,

I need some of the files on the restore disks for the 5834, my disks are scratched, does anyone know how I might be able to get them? Compaq no longer has them or provides support for older models but I'm trying to restore it for my daughter.These are the ones I need: FILES MISSING DISK ONE In...

Well.. I picked up my two 36.4Gb spares today for my Proliant and got back to the office to find a note from the guy I got them from saying that he had some other drives available if I was interested and he thought he had quite a few of the 146Gb drives (I'm assuming the U320 models) and that he...

Hi all.. Someone in my local area is selling a DL380 G1 (I think it's a G1) with a single 733Mhz processor, 4x18.2 Gb hot swap drives + RAID controller (not sure what kind -- perhaps a SA3200?), 640Mb RAM, floppy, cd,etc.. He listed it for $250 several days back and has now dropped the price...

hi there, i have an proliant 1600 6/500 with one pentium3 500mhz cpu; now i installed a second cpu, the bios see both cpu´s but no operating system (linux, nt, w2k) found a second cpu; changing the positions has no affect, each cpu works - but only alone; did anyone know this problem ? thx, alex

Anyone know where I can find one of these processor's fairly cheap? It is for my son's pc. Thanks Russ

Ok, the perspective buyer backed out... so I've got a fully prepped 5500r. Need a reliable server? (File server, Web server, FTP server...) These systems just keep going, and going.... ... I use one as an "on line backup storage" on my LAN. About ever month or so, I fire it up, backup the data...

Greetings, I am attempting to install Linux on an old Proliant 6400R. The problem I have is that every time I try to run the install the machine reboots itself about halfway through the process. I have eliminated several possible issues which I have outlined below. My question is does anyone know...

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...

The RA4000 and RA4100 fibre array software warns you that you cannot expand drives when they run under Windows 2000. What is the observed behavior for such cases? I tried to do it with a small sample NTFS volume I created, and it worked without any problems at all. -- Will Internet: westes at...

I finally received my second processor for my Proliant 3000 today, a second PII 333MHz (SL2S3). Plugged it in and updated the NVRAM and the BIOS screen reports both processors as present. However I've now run both Knoppix 3.8.1 and SME Server 6.0.1 (a custom RedHat server install with web...

I have a good ol reliable 1600 Proliant running Netware 5.1 on it. I added a drive to it. Not having any luck expanding the array using CPQONLIN. I can create a new array with the new drive but cannot see how to add the new drive to the current array. Any tips? Thanks

Running Windows Server 2003 SP2 we cannot figure our why a Compaq DL380 G3 server is randomly rebooting and I would like some advice on diagnostics and troubleshooting before I call Compaq. This was our exchange 2003 server and we are now moving all services off this unit so we can do extended...
