I don't have a 7000 myself (yet), but I suspect the extra power supply
is more than redundant. If you add all of the drives the machine is capable of holding, I'll bet you need the second PS just to get them to fire up. |

The 7000 has three and needs two. The 5500 has two and needs one. |

You are correct, depending on the number of drives installed, and
the number of processors (and I guess Media Bay stuff too), the 2nd p/s becomes mandatory and you need a 3rd for failover. Compaq had a power calculation sheet on line that figured out when you would need the extra, but HP probably lost it by now.

When 6000's, 6500's and 7000's came out, they were originally Pentium Pro's. When I worked for Compaq, I was one of few local Field Engineers who performed Xeon upgrades when they were released. If you can imagine taking every single part of your 7000 apart and chucking it in a box the size of a deep freezer, then taking all new parts and rebuilding it while the owner of the $70K beast stood there horrified... Ah the good ole days.

I have to admit I'm impressed by this machine - the level of detail and the construction - nothing to apologise about even though it's "retired" gear. It's fitted with 2 Xeon 400 CPUs, but in a couple of days I'll have 8 4.3GB drives in caddies (cost all of $27) and another 4 CPUs complete with 4 VRMs (cost all of $20.50 for the entire lot) coming up from Melbourne, and will fit it out, add some more RAM to take it to a Gig, and build a very nice file/mail server out of it once I get a bay's worth of 36, 50, or 72 GB drives. We really have to give thanks to Micro$oft for making people only want the latest and greatest fatware and the desktop machines that it needs to run on. Makes it so much easier for people like me, who realise that mission-critical stuff needs to run on *NIX systems, be able to pick up "obsolete" equipment for next to nothing. |

The utility is indeed included in the PSP. After installation it
resides in the Compaq Program Group, and the executable is called cpqlcd. Have you decided to run Windows Server or SCO? I seem to recall that the hangup was that the utility did not exist for your flavor of Linux. |
