Anyone real familiar with a DL580 G1. I have a unit, actually 2 units that power cycles up for ½ to 1 second the off and then back on. When I plug the unit in power light flashes for a few seconds then is solid. At that point all lights green on power supplies, motherboard has a green light, and...

Hi, I got a compaq presario 5240 and i want to make a clean installation of Xp on it. Booting with PF 10 gives me a computer setup; system --- communicatons ---storage ---inputdevices --- multimedia --- exit and there is no bootsequence option at all. Wonder if this is the Bios. Anybody who can...

One of my big disappoints with the earlier generation Compaq 4100 fibre channel arrays was that you could not easily boot from them with Windows 2000. The standard HP fibre channel and 64-bit fibre channel host adapters simply had no BIOS and could not be made to take over the intial system boot....

Some time ago I bought a defunct compaq server (what I believe is a Proliant 2000) for scrap price. Initially I only wanted to use the case but then I noticed only the graphics card was broken. Replaced it by the same model whic I had as a spare part an the system started properly. Then I thought...

Sir, maybe this information will give you the required information to decide wether it's a Proliant: 2000 or 2500: - It's a rackmounted server for a 19"-Rack - the motherboard has a sticker reading "Replace with spare part No. 165707-001". This means it is "Basepan assy,RM5U" - However a spare...

Is there some way to use the Compaq web site to search for the specs of a sorted item using the xxxxxx.xxx Compaq part number? If not is there a list that can be accessed elsewhere? For instance, if I have two memory sticks with the number 228460-001, how would I find out their size and FSB speed...

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of SmartStart versions 6 or 7? I have an older ML530 I need to get up and running again. Thanks ! Mike

Greetings: I've been having trouble adding PCI display adapters into our PL 3000/PII/EISA system; with our complement of installed boards when I add a display adapter, depending on the maker and amount of display RAM, (with or without disabling the internal VGA) there are two usual outcomes: 1....

Can you do this? I can't find the option. It seems in the BIOS you can select to enable the SATA RAID but it says it's a software RAID, which seems strange. Software raid in the BIOS? It also says SmartStart does not support this configuration. I'm using the SATA backplane.

Hi all, I have Compaq Proliant 5500 on 4 Xeons 550MHz with Mylex Raid DAC960PTL1. When I try to install freebsd or linux computer restarts during packets loading. I tried without Mylex controller, but even without it I have the same problem. By contrast, I can install without any problem Windows...

Is there any way to get an exact error code out of a Compaq 4214R that is showing orange or blinking lights on one of the three icons on the bottom right corner of the drive array? I have one slot in a 4214R that suddenly any drive I insert gets "ASYN or "ASYN drive does not respond to start...

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

Since I'm pestering you all with various questions, how about one more.. Anyone have any experience with using ADG that's available on a SA-5304 vs. it missing on a SA-5312? Is the speed difference noticable or not (with the 5312 being a bit faster since it doesn't have ADG)? Also, since I can't...

Does Compaq make a hotswap drive enclosure that does fibre channel JBOD? -- Will

Keep seeing references to RILOE cards, I even have my eye on a cheap one being sold locally on eBay. What exactly are you able to monitor using them? I can see that they appear to be ethernet or modem capable so was looking at them as an option for monitoring Linux servers remotely which don't...
