Is HP using memory from a Japanese company named ELPIDA in the DL380 G4? I am showing assembly 345113-851 Spare 413385-001 as the 1GB DIMM that is part of the 2 GB memory kit. I ordered this from the vendor and it does have the HP label, but I have never seen the ELPIDA label on any other...

Hello, Just finished reading another thread on the same G1 DL380 but I'm still unable to rebuild my array. I only have one of four SCSI disks but would like to get Ubuntu Linux running for test/dev purposes. I googled around and found a copy of SmartStart 5.5 on HP's site and burned a copy of it...

Hello, I've a Proliant ML370 with W2k Advanced Server and I've configured the Compaq management agents event notifier to send SMTP mail. I've selected all notification events. I receive mail from NIC Agents (ver. 6.40) when , for example, I turn off a NIC from the Network team, so I think the...

Hi. I'm trying to substitute the COMPAQ DL380 (G1) Server Mainboard with my VAX 4000 KA54, NVAX 100MHz Mainboard to get rid of the BA42A Case. The mechanical rebuilding is simple. The SCSI devices (4x36GB,Plextor-CDROM und 12/24GB DAT) are identified and operational. Floppy and IDE-CDROM are...

Is there a way...?? I have a Proliant 2500 Tower Case Model with the CPU/Memory module for two Slot 1 Pentium II 333MHz CPUs. It also has 1.5GB of memory and a five drive RAID and a two drive mirror. It all works fine under Win2K Server. (I Think I would like to make a Linux Server out of it,...

BRAND NEW SERVER FOR SALE NEVER USED IN BOX 1 Compaq ML570 server dual xeon 700 processors ( can handle 4)

Can a PIII-500 and a PIII-550 be installed on the same AP-400 motherboard? A processor will run at less than it's rated speed, will it not? Thanks all. -- ROT13 my email address to reply:

Dave, Thanks, that's helpful. Unfortunately this is my only multi-processor box. Setting the "affinity" seemed to help when I deselected 2 of the cpu's, but when all were selected all the processing quickly went to either the first or third cpu. However this was short lived as it gave me an ASR...

BRAND NEW SERVER FOR SALE NEVER USED IN BOX 1 Compaq ML570 server dual xeon 700 processors ( can handle 4)

The fan speed on the ProLiant 3000 is always running at the same speed (very loud). I thought this was capable of variable speed, so it slows down when it's cold. I have the support pack installed. Is there some configuration in one of the management agents to set the fans to variable speed?

I've just acquired a Proliant 1200R server, and I've noticed the little blanking plate on the front panel that certainly looks like it's meant to take a Integrated Management Display, a la the Proliant 7000. This machine is a Pentium II (266MHz) model and I was wondering, will the 1200 accept an...

Can anybody see any problems in this, before I am palcing my order for the...

Hi, I want to install Slackware Linux 12 on a Proliant 2500 with a raidcontroller/3 disks, but when I try to access F10 - System Partition Utilities, it says "no operating system found". I've tried searching for the right SP, but don't know exactly which one I should have. I've also tried to...

I have acquired a DL380 with Dual PIII 1.0ghz processors that will need some extra RAM. Given the fun I've had with the 1850 and its RAM needs I was wondering if there were similar gotchas with the DL380? Will any 133mhz buffered ECC SDRAM work? Or is Compaq ram required?

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...
