I was given a Compaq ML350 D2 (first generation) server by a friend. At this time it has a single 866Mhz/133Mhz Slot1 P3 in it, and I was hoping to be able to upgrade it to a pair of 1Ghz/133Mhz Slot1 P3s. I have the latest BIOS available applied. Has anyone ever been able to get a 1Ghz CPU...

LC, or a resident 6400 expert, I was going to scrap that 6400 (some of that Chicago stuff), but after looking at it I didn't have the heart. It had 4 Gig ram, 4 550 Xeon cpu's, not sure if 1 or 2 meg cache each, 2 raid cards. After doing some reading I noticed an article saying the 6400 could be...

My 1200 keeps booting up with this now. It doesn't affect the way the machine runs except that I have to be there to hit F1 to get it past the error. This is undesirable as it's a firewall and has to be able to boot all the way when it powers up. I've checked the battery on the expansion board...

I don't know if this is a problem with Giganews or something else but I have noticed that a couple of the posts I have made do not show up on this news server. Fortunately, they have shown up in some people's news since there are references to my post. Is this group...

Suddenly my Super-workstation (ProLiant 3000) running Fedora Core 4 doesn't seem so super. I have a standard 15/30G tape drive connected externally to the onboard SCSI port. I am attempting a backup os 20G (19.383G) to a tape running compression. Now the indicators tell me that the backup will take...

On my quest for headers in the junk box at the back of the workshop, I stumbled across a CPU, a Pentium II marked 80522PX300512EC which I believe is a 300MHz model with a 66MHz FSB. Now I just wondered whether it would be worth plugging into the Proliant 1200R I got last Sunday - it has a 266MHz...

In one of my other threads (couldn't find it right off the bat), I asked about external drive cages for use with my new 6400R that I just acquired. Anyway, I believe either Nutcracker or Guy mentioned that there were various options available with various backends (SCSI, etc). I went...

Hi all.. Seems busy in here lately.. Anyway, just a quick question about redundant power supplies on any Proliants (since I suspect they'll all pretty much act the same).. I've got a 6400R with dual supplies and I stumbled across a HP page that had power calculators (in excel) where you could tell...

Have a Proliant 3000 (single 333 CPU, RAID5) that I added an Adaptec 1200 IDE RAID board to. After adding this board, Win2K will not boot unless I unplug the CDROM from the IDE connector on the MB. With the CDROM unplugged, everything runs fine.

Hi, I've bought a Compaq harddisk like this: ,---- | Interface Type: SCSI | Capacity: 18.2 GB | Drive Dimensions: 3.5" x 1/3H | Spindle Speed: 10,000 RPM | Interface: SCSI-3 Ultra Wide (16-bit) | Average Latency: 3 ms

Yes, i went with the proliant 5500. the quads were too tempting. I have VRM's on the way, still need matched processors though this is for another day... Todays question is I have Smart Start 5.5, went through all of that and it looks good. Every time I boot up, it gets to the smart array and...

I picked up 2 Proliant servers last thursday (4/15/04) in 100% working condition. One with windows NT 4 server, the other with windows 2000 server. no passwords or manuals, just a single cd package "Server Setup and management." I used the same CD for both machines and ran the "System erase...

hello, I'm trying to install SCO 5.0.5 on proliant ML350 with a 3200 array controller. I found the SCO document specifying to use the BTLD disks to load the driver for the 3200 array controller. I follow those steps, but after the driver loads successfully, I see a warning: Warning: ida: the order...

I'm about to setup a Compaq Proliant 850r with the 2 pentiums on board but am afraid I messed up some settings in the boot settings. When I power the machine up it gives me the message that I've got a serial cable error and I have not the slightest idea how to solve this. I need a way to et into...

alright - i fear i'm going to be showing of my na=EFvet=E9 for servers in general here, but i'm just going to ask. i have a proliant 1600 with five drives in it. they all intialize fine when the controller initializes during boot. however, after that, no matter what I boot into, only three of...

Hello, I purchased a Proliant 6500 and noticed that there was no NIC card so I grabbed a NC3131 NIC card and installed it. Unfortunately, Windows 2003 Server does not see it! I tried different PCI slots but same results. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated! -Paul

I have been trying to have the OS (linux) power off the server after the shutdown command with no succes. Can someone tell me if this server supports this, does it work in Windows? Or should I just give up. Thanks

Hi, Our email is down until we can change our ISP; please let me know if you got my last email from a different account: msg (at) waste (dot) org. Thanks, Michael Grigoni Cybertheque Museum

My ever expanding Proliant 3000 now has a gig of memory (still running Memtest86 on it) and the transfer rate is about 7Mb/sec faster than the motley selection of 32Mb DIMMs I had in it before. Are the 256Mb DIMMs faster? I'm assuming that if I mix any of the old RAM back in the transfer speed...
