Compaq Proliant DL380

Someone left a Compaq Proliant DL380 with me.

I am trying to setup win2k on it.

Somebody suggested I get cp005292 on a floppy and press F6 when win2k
starts and then press 'S', insert the floppy and rest will get done
automatically.

It did not.

I was asked for textsetup.oem.

This I supplied from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318812

Then I was asked for SCSIDRV.SYS. It was in SCSI folder on the floppy
but was not getting accessed so I took it out from the folder but it is
being rejected as being corrupted.

Will be eternally gratefull for help.

Are you referring to 2000Server, or to 2000Professional? If so, they
both have the drivers they need...just let the installation continue
without interruption.

I am trying to install 2000professional.
When it comes to Installing it say no harddrive in the machine, while
in fact it has 3 ULTRA3 SCSI 18.2GB disks.

are you using the onboard arrary controller ? If not, which one are you
using.

Did you check your cables, and did you setup an array using the SmartStart
CD.

We are assuming that this is a DL380 G1.

I am not at all a technical person.
I have installed 2000 Professonal as well as 2000 Advanced Server on
DL140.
DL140 has IDE Hard Disk, while DL380 left with me has SCSI disks.

Machine is at least 4 years old.

Dont know how to check if it is DL380 G1 or not.

From the link Jez T gave I have been able to go upto

If I have Smart start 5.50 on a CD will it be smooth afterwards.

I am asking some people who suggested to me that I get cp005292 on a
floppy etc to read this thread. I hope they do. They have more
competence than me in these matters.

It will be waste to throw away the machine which otherwise looks to me
quite sturdy.
