800 Motherboard in 2500 Tower
I have been considering the possibility of dropping the motherboard
from a Proliant 800 into an empty Proliant 2500 tower case. It looks like everything will fit just fine. Does anybody see any potential problems with this? |

There are 3 components you will need. The 800 I/O board, the interconnector
board (where your power connects up, and which bridges the CPU/Mem board and I/O board), and your 800 Processor board. I have never tried this, but have personally speculated that since the 2500/1600/800 series are for the most part (there are some execptions) designed identically, that it should be doable. Just make sure that your power connectors from the 2500 are compatable with those of the 800 interconnect board. - LC "Jeffrey Alsip" wrote in message ups.com...

I think I do have all of the parts, but I haven't looked too closely at
the power connector yet. I was fortunate to get two complete sets of the 800 parts (500M processors included!) on an ebay auction for $5.10. I will certainly let you know how it turns out. I probably don't need to mention that the jump from PPro's to PIII's will be a very big deal! |
