Hi all, Just swapped out the RIB (RIBLOII) in a Compaq ML530 G1 (Windows 2000) as I was unable to change the screen resolution with the original. Resolution changes now work fine but on Boot it twice finds new hardware 'PCI Memory Controller' Telling it to search for drivers comes up blank and...

In general what has been the experience of others with the Compaq 4214R hotswap case? I've had great luck with the earlier hotswap cases that did just ultrawide, such as the Compaq U2 hotswap case (using the holder style SCSI hotswap trays). But the 4214R has proven really unreliable for...

Has anyone been successful in running 64 bit FreeBSD on the DL585? If there are any restrictions what are those? -- Will

I have a line on some cheap 3000's that are full of SDRAM. I have to pick them up on Wednesday, December 21. If you might want some of these machines, they will go for $11 each, and you can meet me in Lombard to pick them up. If you want me to get a couple for you, please advise. Jeffrey Alsip

Hi there. Anyone who knows what kind of srews is used in the HP Ultra320 hotplug bays, to hold the hardrive?. -- Best regards Martin Kiefer www.kiefer.dk

Greetings: I need to modify the PL3000/PII BIOS code to recognize the IDs for PIII cpus; if the supported IDs are in a table, it ought to be straight-forward to replace some entries for the new cpus and regenerate the checksum for the block. I don't care about including microcode updates or...

You still want thos two 1600's? If not, then can I offer them to other Chicagoland Compaq enthusiasts?

Hi all, I have a Quantum DLT3000 DLT tape drive that I'm trying to connect to a Proliant 3000 using the external SCSI interface of the onboard SCSI card. I am using a brand new SCSI cable. However, the SCSI BIOS does not seem to be detecting the drive. During POST, the Smart 2 DH controller...

Greetings: Do either or both of the cables to ports A and B of a duplex-configured PL3000 drive cage (the older one that uses the twin snap-action sleds with the edge connectors and accommodates eight 1" drives or 6 1.5" drives or a mixture) need terminators at the cage end? There is a terminator...

Hi, As you may noticed from my earlier post I have recently acquired an ML330. The issue I seem to be enjoying now is getting my riloe2 to work in it. Having disabled video on the feature board and installing the riloe in to slot 4 I am not getting any video on bootup. The preferred slot...

Hi, Recently I picked up a PL800e and found the form factor to be very close, if not bang on to an ML370G1. I was wondering if I could simply upgrade the system board on this server and still use the p/s or i/o riser? Thanks

I've just picked up a Proliant 1600 (dual PII 400MHz) to build up as a firewall for a friend. It's got two 9.1GB drives in it and the first thing I did was do a system erase on it and started doing a manual install for Linux. The odd thing is, nowhere can I find where to set up the array...

Hi Folks, Just wondering if anyone could shed some light as to what might be going on. I tried upgrading my ML330 G1 server from a P3-733 chip to a P3-1Ghz chip. But, I found after installing the chip, and closing up the case, it would power up for a few second and then shutdown, and start...

Hi can anyone give me a hand with this? Just wondering if anyone here might have an idea as to how I can resolve this problem. I have a DL580 with a power problem. Powersupply is new and double checked to be ok. Hot plug power backplane has two leds one blue and the other doesn't come on at all. I...

Good Day, I hope someone out there can help me out here. I have a ML530 I believe it's a G1 or original ML530 server (It is not a G2). The system came with a 20/40 DLT internal Tape drive which is connected to the internal SCSI connecter. The DLT drive went south and I just got a new one by...

Anyone know a source for one or more Proliant 6400R I/O fans (I believe it's part number 101933-001 based on an ebay search) in the Los Angeles area? I had a power surge of some sort this afternoon and it seems to have taken out one of my fans of all things and reset a few other assorted clocks in...

Hi all, I'm trying to build an old, second hand, G1 DL380 (2x P3/1000). Everything works fine except when I try to connect an external tape drive (HP Surestore DAT 12/24) to the SCSI connector on the mainboard. With the SCSI cable in place (regardless of whether the other end is actualy...

I have a DL580 with a power problem. Powersupply is new and double checked to be ok. Hot plug power backplane has two leds one blue and the other doesn't come on at all. I think they are label as cr1, cr2. On the main board the 5v led doesn't light but the 5v(aux) does. When power cord is...

Does anyone have a pfd of the manual for the SW3322 switch and the configuration app? I have one of the switches that I haven't used for some time and have forgotten its IP. In the redesign of the Compaq site, the SW3322 has pretty much disappeared.
