When I put a dual core 2.2 GHz DL385 into the BIOS power saving mode, the system boots up at 1.8 GHz. What regulates whether the system will then later raise to 2.2 GHz? Does this require installation of a Windows driver to help the system hardware determine the CPU load is high? -- Will

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...

What are considered the standard programs for benchmarking performance of a file server these days? Ideally I would like to have some measurements not just on throughput, but on latency on trivial I/O operations like expanding a share folder. Of course I would want to see some graphs at end...

I've been using RA4x000 as a cheap disk source for applications that do not require very high disk performance. I had assumed the RA4x000 RAID systems would bottleneck on the 1 Gbit fibre channel interface, which is far more throughput than I could get out even six drives in a RAID 0 array....

Is it possible to convert a DL380 G2 with SCSI to instead use SATA or SAS? What are the part numbers for that conversion? -- Will

Hi all.. I've got a Proliant 5500r that I've been running for a while now (~6 months). I've got both power supplies installed and both of them exhibit this strange behavior with the LEDs indicating green color for both of the supplies. According to the documentation, a green (non alternating)...

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...

Hi, I have a Proliant 1600 with a Smart Array 3200 controller and two 9.1 GB disks in a RAID 1 mirror. The controller recently failed and I have replaced it. Now when the system boots it gives me the following error: "Smart Array 3200 controller (rev A , v 4.16) 0 Logical Drives 1785-Slot 5 Drive...

LC, Jeff, et-al, In looking for a Storageworks enclosure (4214 preferably), what sorts of features should I be looking for in order to connect it to my existing SA3200 (for now until I move up to a SA5300 at some point) on my 6400R? Things I see on some and not on others (care of E*bay of course)...

Hello, We are having trouble configuring the software to manage our Servers and UPS .. We are running 3 Compaq ProLiant 6500r quad xeon pIII servers and a Compaq UPS Model R3000H-NA(208v-240v) with Compaq Multi-Server Card 123 508-B21 installed. The operating system for all 3 servers is Windows...

I'm using Smartarray 5Si in a DL380 G2, and I want to better understand how much detail with the controller drivers record in the Windows EventViewer in case of errors? Will they record SMART failures? What about minor inconsistencies seen on the disk and corrected? Does reporting...

hi Yall, I know this posting has been on before but I need help. I have a Proliant 2000 running Win XP. I want to load Linux 7 or 9 or Solaris 10. I'd love Solaris 10 but at this stage would settle for anything. With linux i get to the Hd formatting page and it says it can't find any hardware to...

Hi New here, but looks like a good forum :-) Just acquired a 6400R server, fitted with 2 x PIII Xeon 500 2mb CPUs. What is the max CPU speed this server will take? I'm wondering if ROM upgrade (or unspecified DIP settings) will allow better than the 5.5x100 - specifically I'm looking for 7x100...

Can anyone explain to me why this 133mhz bus uses PC 100 133 x 6 = 866b aprox But the memory is only running at 100MHZ? Model COMPAQ PRESARIO 5010US Compaq P/N - 470010-767 Standard Features

Some of you know that I have just installed RH9 on my 2500. I used SmartStart 5.5 and did a manual configuration for Linux OS, but I never saw the prompt to load the Configuration partition during that process. Now I have the system running, but it refuses to run KDE, Gnome or Xwindows. (I know,...

We did our first Windows 2003 64-bit install to a DL385 with a single dual core 2.2 processor and 73 GB 10K SAS drives. The drives were impressively fast, and I was a bit surprised considering the toyish 2.5" form factor. We had the boot device configured as two 73GB drives in RAID 1+0. One...

Are the drive trays of a Proliant DL380, 380 G2, RA4000 and RA4100 interchangeable? Do they fit mechanically, are the backplanes identical? I've seen white(ish) and black ones... Did HP/Compaq ever change them? If so, when? All hints welcome, maybe someone has a link to a...

Where can i download SmartStart 6.20 CD (for free) ? I need it to config a SCSI Array Controller. Thanks

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...
