Someone left a Compaq Proliant DL380 with me. I am trying to setup win2k on it. Somebody suggested I get cp005292 on a floppy and press F6 when win2k starts and then press 'S', insert the floppy and rest will get done automatically. It did not.

We have a LAN with 10 servers and 30 users/workstations. The workstations are all running legal copies of XP, but the former IT guy put pirated copies of Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition on the servers. I have been given the task of making us legal. Given the above, what would be the...

I was given a Proliant 1600 here at work. Was also given two, new in-box IMD LCD displays. Could not figure out how to connect till I noticed a picture of one on Ebay with what's called a Y-Cable. Splits the ribbon cable down to two smaller connectors. Those connectors I assume connect to the...

Perhaps this is old news to you server gurus, but I (just) found out that the Smart Start ISO is a free download from Compaq: http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/22678.html I hope this is of help to others out there ;-) -Paul

Just bought a Proliant 5500 and need the Smartstart 5.5 or below iso file. Compaq kindly told me this but also kindly forget to say you have to buy it and get it vial snail mail. I need to set this server up really quickly and judging from some of the posts this CD can take nearly a week to...

I have a brand new DL380 G5 with both SATA (factory fit) and SAS (add-on) controllers. The drive backplane is connected to the controller with two data cables. How is it wired internally? Can I mix SAS and SATA on the same backplane, connecting the left part of the backplane to the SAS and the...

"Benjamin Gawert" wrote in message ... * Jez T: Errm... For a ML530 G1, you need Smart Start 5.50, which you can still download. I know that. But that doesn't help me. I don't see why that should not recognise an SA6400

Hi, I have an old HP Netserver 6000R. Recently the all the hard disk LED shows amber light and from the event log I saw some "Sensekey error". Do you guys know what exactly sensekey error means? Also, can I replace NetRaid adapter with Compaq Smart Array series? Are they compatible and will the...

We have a fair number of Compaq 4214R U2 hotswap drive cases. The behavior I normally see is that when you insert a hotswap drive into one of these cases, it autorotates, and at that point it can then be seen on the SCSI bus by the attached host computer. On one 4214R I just installed, when I...

LC wanted some action here, and this is the best I can do on short notice. This is my latest ebay buy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9732211015&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 I am extremely happy with it (for the price). What do you think? Did I get hosed?

I just bought a used Compaq Proliant 5500 server. I installed Linux on it and all is working OK. I then wanted to have a look 'inside'. So I removed the side cover and began to poke around a bit. I removed the CPU's and the CPU Power Modules. I put them back in, just wanted to check them out. I...

I remember somewhere that there is a utility which talks to the IMD on machines like the 5500, 7000, and so on which gives you a bar graph display of CPU load, memory used, and a couple of other configurable things. I also remember that it's strictly a Win2K or Win Server 2003 utility. I've had a...

I installed a DLT7000 tape drive in my PL5000 by connecting it to the second 50 pin SCSI connector with a 50 to 68 pin adapter in the cd/floppy bay. When booting, it doesn't see the tape drive and it also doesn't show up on the Compaq/HP tape drive diagnostics. The SCSI cd drive does. This was...

Does anyone happen to have the pinout (really, more of an edge- connector-out) for the power supply for the Proliant DL320S rack mount system. The power supplies are 575W, hot swappable units which output 47A @ 12V and 5A @ 5V. The connector is an edge-connector type on the inside- end of the...

Okai here is the problem. Ive plugged in the controller, and then connected a MSA30 Bay, then i added 12 x 18GB 10K Compaq HDD's and made a RAID10 array. Problem is i only get 10MB/s in write, that i would say is pretty poor. All drivers are up to date and raid controller has been ROM updated too,...

Hi all, The Linux group I attend just got a ProLiant 3000. It had just one cpu and 64M of ram and 6)hds. One of the other members got another P2-333 that matched and got the ram up to 851M. One of the hd's was bad and was removed so now it has 5) 9G scsi's in it. The cmos date is 1998 and I...

{Cross-posted to linux.redhat.install} I was given a Compaq Proliant 2500 server and a Compaq Storage System last week just to tinker with at home. My goal is to install Fedora Core 5 (so I can learn more about the Linux environment) and to become more comfortable with SCSI drive management. I'm...
