DVD for DL580?
It's probably too old, but is there any Compaq/HP internal DVD reader that
would replace the built-in CD on a Proliant DL580? -- Will |

No. No official DVD, and I don't even think there's a CD-RW. IIRC, it's a slimline CD. In theory, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to replace it with a similar DVD, though there's no guarentees that it would work / boot / etc. because the Firmware is not DVD orientated. That may or may not be important. |

That may or may not be important. I have successfuly put the CD that comes in the G2/G3 servers into a 6400R. Going from 12x to 24x. Its the same form factor as the regular ones, so I dont see why you couldnt put a CDRW/DVD into one of these boxes. You may not be able to boot from a CDRW or DVD, but booting from CD and then seeing the proper devices in the OS would probably work. - LC |
