Can you add a Integrated Management LCD to a 1200?
I've just acquired a Proliant 1200R server, and I've noticed the little
blanking plate on the front panel that certainly looks like it's meant to take a Integrated Management Display, a la the Proliant 7000. This machine is a Pentium II (266MHz) model and I was wondering, will the 1200 accept an Integrated Management LCD, or is it that only some other model which takes the same cabinet uses the LCD? |

Yes, it was an option and is supported. - LC |

I had a 1600 that came with the blank off in place of the LCD. The
Compaq website revealed that the original model did come with support for the IMD. However, the spot on the motherboard where the LCD cable should connect did not have the pin header installed...just two rows of soldered over pin holes. You must check to see that the pins for the connector are present. They should be near the top right corner of the main board, and will be labeled "LCD Connector". I would hate to even consider pulling the board out and trying to solder on these two rows of pins! What a nightmare. Jeff |

Jeff I cant imagine how that would ever be worth the trouble. that 1200 will likely top out at 512M of ram, and I dont even know if it will support a 333Mhz chip (i know it will support a 233,266,300) ... If by somechance it CAN run a 333, then you might be lucky and get a gig of ram into that box. But honestly, its a paperweight. - LC |

.. wrote: Have to disagree on the "paperweight" issue, simply because of this: I bought this machine for the sole purpose of building a hardware firewall for my network. It has a single 233MHz PentiumII, 128MB of RAM, is absolutely immaculate, and cost me all of the equivalent of 35 US dollars. I'm compiling Gentoo onto it at the moment, it's progressing along quite nicely, and when it's done I'll install Shorewall and plug 'er in. That's going to be a great firewall machine. I am typing this behind a Compaq Prolinea with a 100Mhz 486 and 100MB of RAM, and it is far faster than needed. Have you considered Freesco instead of or in addition to Gentoo/ Shorewall? A lot easier, not nearly as much fun to set up... |

I generally use Smootwall to build firewalls. But Smoothwall does not
have SCSI support. WHen I wanted to utilize a dual-PPro 2500 that was sitting idle, I turned to IPCOP. It now runs very well on two mirrored 4.3G's. Smoothwall can make use of an oterwise useless PC...but we all know how reliable this ProLiant equipment is, especially for a device expected to run constantly like a firewall should. |

I run my Freesco router/firewall on NO hard drive. It runs on ramdisk, after booting from a write protected floppy. Even if an attacker gains control of the machine, he cannot make a change that will survive the next boot. Backing up Freesco consists of doing a disk copy in Linux or DOS. |

I hadn't really heard of that before. I assume I can find this by
searching Freesco on the web. How much memory is required? |
