compaq proliant 1500 server

Hello,

I received an Compaq Proliant an I want upgrade it. My question was
this one: is it possible to put a new motherboard in the compaq and
by witch vendor i can find such motherboard?? It must be not
neccesairly a Compaq motherboard, asus or tyan is quite good also.(
but it must be compatibel of course)

Thanx to help me

For the most part, motherboard layouts in older Compaq servers are quite
proprietary. With luck, you may find a newer Compaq server board that fits in
the same chassis... Ben Myers

Ben's correct. Forget about a non-Compaq board. Even a newer Compaq
motherboard, though it might physically fit the chasis, is likely to have
different connectors and internal pinouts.
