I guess I was lucky monitoring my craigslist RSS feeds for Compaq "stuff".. I've been looking for some spare 36.4Gb 1" SCA/SCSI drives just in case any of mine fail to reduce/eliminate downtime. Anyway, I almost bought one off ebay last weekend for $40/shipping (~$55 total). So, someone yesterday...

I just wanted to share an important lesson I learned this week about the incompatibilty of memory between Proliant systems. This is a tale of a lad with who acquired a Proliant 1850 sans ram. A quick trip to HP.com and I determined (or so I thought) the type of ram I needed. PC100 ECC 256 meg...

Can anybody tell me the name of those spring-loaded knurled-headed screws that are press-fitted into the front panels of the ProLiant rack servers, used to secure said beast into said rack? I'm trying to get hold of a few to fill in the holes in a couple of machines and it would help if I knew...

I have a boot device in ID=0 on a DL380 G2 currently configured by the Smart 5si RAID controller as RAID 0. Is it possible to insert a second identical device and reconfigure the existing RAID 0 volume to RAID 1 without losing data? -- Will

How significant is the effective performance difference between 144 Mb and 288 Mb RAMBUS memory in the Compaq W8000? Why don't they allow 288 Mb memory in all four memory slot pairs? -- Will westes AT earthbroadcast.com

Not seen any posts here and wondered if it still worked ! Nutcracker, did you get around to checking those switch settings in that 370 ? Phil
