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

Hi all, I have Compaq Proliant 5500 on 4 Xeons 550MHz with Mylex Raid DAC960PTL1. When I try to install freebsd or linux computer restarts during packets loading. I tried without Mylex controller, but even without it I have the same problem. By contrast, I can install without any problem Windows...

Anyone real familiar with a DL580 G1. I have a unit, actually 2 units that power cycles up for ½ to 1 second the off and then back on. When I plug the unit in power light flashes for a few seconds then is solid. At that point all lights green on power supplies, motherboard has a green light, and...

Nutcracker When I asked a question about the 4350R you said, "Those things are old. Damn old. Musty cursty old." Does this apply to all the 4300 family or just 4350R? The 4350R uses the same cards internally and scsi3 interface (single or dual) as 4314R. (Same part numbers) After firing them up...

Do any of the MSA500 / MSA1000 / MSA1500 RAID controllers give you a way to define a LUN as read-only to a host computer? I'm using this to provide a large group of files to three computers that get updated maybe once a month. Sure I could use a network share, but would for performance reasons...

Can anybody tell me the specific part number for the rackmount slides to suit the Proliant 7000 machine? I've got a bunch of normal slides to suit the 5000/5500/1200 stuff, but they don't suit the 7000. The machine width is 422mm for these machines, but for some reason Compaq decided to make...

Jeff/LC et-al, Do you buy your DLT tapes (if you use them still) online or via one or more retail stores? I've called a few places and nobody seems to carry them except via mail-order places.. Is there some chain that might be available here in the LA area that might have them or is my best bet...

I have a brand new DL380 G5 with both SATA (factory fit) and SAS (add-on) controllers. The drive backplane is connected to the controller with two data cables. How is it wired internally? Can I mix SAS and SATA on the same backplane, connecting the left part of the backplane to the SAS and the...

Have a New G4 HP DL360 2 x 72 GB SCSI Drives, using HP smart array software. Had a disk failure this week on one of the drives, so replaced it with a similar drive both same size etc, only difference I can see is the firmware version ( Different firmware even though its taken from another G4...

I currently have an 18G drive (on scsi ID5) in my proliant 3000 P2-400. I am trying to add a 50G ddrive. Upon plugging in the new drive and booting the machine, the server detects the new drive on scsi ID2 and immediately try to start booting from it. Of course there is nothing there and I get...

hello, I have a server I have to work on running novell. I have to erase it and install linux. I have the smartstart cd version 5.50. How can I make the server boot from the cd? I put the cd in and rebooted several times, I hit the F10 key but when I do that I get error...something about not...

I`ve got a proliant 2500, and it makes to much noise. Only ATX Psu is for sale now. is there some kind of a hack that could be used to the proliant will power on with a atx psu? -- Med vennlig hilsen / Best regards Christer Solskogen http://dtz.cjb.net - http://carebears.mine.nu

I´m trying to update my windows nt to windows 2000, but the disks are not detected.Í known i need the drive for the storage but i don´t have.Could someone help me. Thanks

We have an RA4100 with dual RA4000 controllers that, a long time ago, was set up for redundancy. What I want to do is remove this redundancy, so that the second RA4000 controller in the unit operates as a separate path to the same logical drives. What piece of software/hardware controls whether...

I can read the disk fine on my other box, Iv tried burining it TOC and DOC and DOC/96 Its really frustrating me. The cd rom is good, cause ive...

Just bought a Proliant 3000 (PII 300MHz) to tinker with as a home server but I've been unable to boot it from either floppy or CD. Initially I found the IDE CD-ROM was disconnected but having reconnected it I still cannot boot from any media. Is there any way to get into the BIOS and enable the CD...

I'm about to get my hands on a dual channel 3200 controller, do these specifically need a point-to-point 68pin cable or will they run with a standard terminated or unterminated cable? I'm guessing the cage terminates internally, so I would assume a cable with a terminator is a...

What is the diffenece between a DL580 and a ML570?

We opened up a trouble ticket on a DL380 G2 with a problem rebuilding a RAID array, and I'm pretty depressed at just how poor HP's service level was. We had no problems with the $39 out of warranty charge for the call but: 1) They charged $39 twice. 2) No one who dealt with us was fluent in...
