for buzz and andy (same guy, I suspect)
When you boot from the system partion (F10 when it beeps twice, and the
cursor goes to the upper right) ... when you get to your first screen of choices, press CTRL+A to get into advanced mode. then, run the SCU. View the settings. From there, you will see an option to bypass, or disable the F1 prompt. Enable that, F10 to save your settings, follow the prompts, then reboot. Your F1 problem will be gone. Just out of curiosity, there is a message on the screen right befor the F1. It will tell you what the server is unhappy about. The F1 is its way of trying to get you to take notice so it can be fixed. Disabling the F1 prompt is masking the real problem. So, what does it say? - LC |

Then when I run the ACU it comes up telling me no drives found or two drives have the same ID. I ran the DAAD it will show I think one drive in slot 4 but I'm not sure I know what to look for in the text it saves. Thanks for any help -- Buzz |

Thanks for any help-- Buzz Are your drives installed in an external non-Compaq SCSI box? It sounds like they are. A Proliant storage system, including the internal drive bays, has a SCSI ID of its own(I think). In addition, the storage system sets the ID's on the drives. A non-Compaq SCSI box would cause the errors you are seeing. You would get an error that no Proliant Storage is present. Since the drives are not set to different ID's by a Proliant Storage box, you get another error saying that duplicate SCSI ID's are present. If this is your situation, look for a used Compaq storage system on EBay. There should be some for sale sooner or later. Aidan Grey |

I have disconected it from the 1600 tried that removed all but one drive from the on board rack of the 1600. No change. I even hooked up a drive set to 0 id directly to the raid controller I don't get the 1775 error which makes me think that the backplane on the rack is bad. So I have one and a Smart-2DH Array Controller on the way just to do some testing with. I couldn't pass it up both for 30.00 bucks. I sense have hooked the storage box up to my gaming PC that has a 2940u2w scsi card in it. At least we can get to the data. I'll post what I find if and when I get it going again. As cheap as the 1600 are I looking at buying another for parts. They are slow but make great paper weights. -- Buzz |

The 1600 has 6 drive slots (newer version) on the bottom if it is a tower,
is that what you meant by bottom? In any event it will also say the same thing (no drives found or two drives have the same ID) if it's not properly set up. IF it is the internal drive bay or an external Compaq array I would suggest running smart start from the beginning since you were going to reinstall the os anyway. Let it erase the system and drives and follow the normal setup and installation. Providing all hardware is functional that will get it back to working normally. If as Aidan was thinking, something other than Compaq array, you might consider the old saying, "when all else fails, read the instructions" at least for the non-Compaq product !

Phil The OP said he was able to get a cage connected to another comp with what sounded like a regular adaptec scsi controller, and that he was able to get to the data on the drives. This sounds to me like maybe the cage was never cabled up to array controller properly. Or, perhaps it had the yellow flat cable rather than that blue-ish U2/U3 cables. Dunno, but it could just be that the contoller he has is junk. - LC |

Thanks gang for all the help and suggestions. Let me try and clear up what I have. The unit is a Proliant 1600R-rack model. It has 5 hot swappable drives in the server unit. Running off of a smart 2SL-raid controller. Also I have the storage rack mounted drive box with 7 hot swappable drives in it. The storage box is only for data. The OS is stored in the Server 5 disk drive cage (inside the front of the 1600) running raid 5. What happened was after a reboot I received a blue screen on 2000 server. SO tried the F8 no response nothing. No biggy reload the OS but it couldn’t see the drives in the onboard drive cage in the server unit. So I put the eraser disk in then the smart start disk. On the reboot it came up with the errors listed above. (Earlier posts) The data was pulled from the storage 7 disc box with my other computer with the standard SCSI card (drives not in raid). So after reading some of the post here I order a drive cage and raid controller card it has to be those are something else. I was willing to spend 30 bucks on trying to fix it. If it works that will be great if not I have a nice paperweight LOL. Many thanks gang I’ll be spending more time here reading and learning nice group. -- Buzz |
