I have a Hawking 4 port KVM that won't work with my Compaq servers. Has anyone experienced this? Hawking says it's something going on with the servers. A standard keyboard and mouse work fine when attached directly to the servers. I've tried the same KVM on Dell machines and didn't have...

Hello everyone again. I had a thread back in March regarding my trials and tribulations with this server. I have found a bit more time to play with this project and wanted to continue where I left off. I have used the SS cd's to create a floppy with the Compaq System Erase Utility 1.69A and...

My old ML-330 servers email me when one of the hard drives in the RAID fails but my DL380's do not. Where do I configure this? Thanks! -Bob

Merry Christmas everyone !

I'm confused by the Windows 2003 Softpaq for the DL380 G4. There are options for *both* Intel and AMD motherboard drivers. Since the system is Intel based I don't understand why AMD is there. And better still the Intel motherboard drivers refuse to install. -- Will

I could have swore we were discussing IMD's. A man in Australia wanted to put one in his ProLiant 1200. Now I can't locate the thread (I hate it when that happens). Anyway, I was out in the garage ripping apart a 3000 when I encountered an adapter that I have not seen before. It attaches to the...

It is also loaded with lot's of adware and spyware, including the evil backweb. I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled my own...

This is a little OT but I have posted on this group several times and feel that it is one of the most professional of the groups. I have been thinking about buying lots of used hardware for resale. I have a friend that has been in the business for 15 years who says that it is a very good...

Anyone know if the Compaq 5000 supports 256mb DIMMS? I have four fitted*, but the system only shows 256mb total. With anymore DIMMS fitted, Netware 4 abends (although it works fine with the other DIMMS on their own) According to the dox, it takes 2gb in 128mb DIMMS. *Allegedly these are 256MB...

Hi, I've found some RAM on ebay which I hope will fit my Proliant 3000 (2xP3-500). 2x128 MB. It's from a Compaq workstation, don't know which one. Part no. is 306431-002 and spare part no. is 317756-001 (according to some website). I'm just not sure it'll fit, so I hope you guys can help me out...
