Dear LUV, The site you listed says "Windows Server 2003" a different animal altogether. Below is the site I used to download the Windows 2000 Advanced Mgmt upgrade. I can't guarantee this will work for you, but it did for me. Good luck. Renne...

I'm running this unit with one 933Mhz (I removed a 2nd processor just to see if it made a difference ) processor and 512K of RAM. I'm using Smartstart 5.5, but I have used 5.2 also on this machine during this install. I installed Smartstart, configured the hardware; the array is RAID 1. I...

Yeah, aren't these forums great? :> Renne

Does anyone know whether the chassis for the PL 1600 is the same as the PL 2500? Thanks. Renne

Thanks you guys. I''ll put it in and let'er rip. Renne

Can I replace a failed Compaq 9.1 7,200 RPM hot-swapable disk with a 10,000 RPM unit in the same array. The contoller is a Smart 2/DH in a Proliant 1600. Thanks, Renne

I have an PR 2500 running WIN2K which used to have an IDE CD-ROM. It's the drive that came with the machine. I replaced it with a HP 9200i SCSI CD drive. I also am running a Seagate Scorpion tape drive which is also SCSI. I wanted to reinstall my IDE drive and did, but everytime I do, it crashes...

I resolved my problem with the 3rd party backup software (BackupMyPC from Stomp, which is apparently a former Veritas product - their "desktop" version of their backup software). It's pretty good and it sure works better than backupnt.exe! There is an interesting thread on the...

I have a PL 1600 which has an HP1533A tape drive. I'm having problems with restore on multiple disk sets - no problem with data backed up on only one disk. I understand that Win 2k backup/restore utility has a reported problem with restoring multiple disks, but they report this was solved with...

Well, I have no idea... but when I replaced the floppy drive ( I was getting intermittent error messages when I ran the diagnostics ) all my problems were solved. I don't get it, but I am extremely grateful to the Compaq gods. All that hair-pulling and it was a stupid floppy drive! In the 16...

No, Compaq support wasn't helpful. I got tired of replacing things. They are hearing hoofbeats and looking for horses and I need to find a zebra :> Memory upgrade, hm? I guess that's next. I did add a 256k chip not too long ago... I keep telling myself I'm going to pull everything out and...

ALLLLL RIGHT!!! The Advanced Systems Management upgrade worked like a charm. One minute I was standing next to a 747 readying for takeoff and two minutes later - a purring kitten. Thanks for the tips. Renne

Thanks guys, I'm taking all suggestions under advisement. I didn't notice any blockage in the fans and the noise doesn't seem unhealthy, just lots of "air being moved at a rapid rate" sound. I wouldn't dare put a pair of wings on the chassis :> Our 2500s and 1600s sound like a mother's...

Does anyone have any clue about how to reduce excessive fan noise in a Proliant ML370. I read on Compaq's site that you can control the fan on the G2 machines by software settings, but I can't find anything on the G1. Thanks. Renne

No, sorry to say, the battery option jumpers are set to the correct setting for an external battery - posts 2 and 3 instead of 1 and 2. This is one that really has me stumped. I'm going to backup, reformat, reinstall the OS on a bare bones machine and add stuff back on piece by piece. After...

I have a Proliant 1600 which is continuing to give me 172 and 162 error messages. I reconfigure and reboot and it's fine. - until the next cold boot. This problem started intermittently and has since become a daily problem. The first item to be replaced was, of course, the battery - nothing got...

Three words - Ebay, Ebay, Ebay!

The cards I have plugged in to the secondary bus on my Proliant 1600 are recognized by the device manager but will not start. I have an external case plugged into the external SCSI connector (which I assume is on the secondary buss also) in which are 2 CD drives; they run just fine. I can't...

I'm still reasonably new to the Proliant models and occasionally I have something happen that I just can't figure out. I recently installed a Motorola modem and apparently installed the wrong driver for it. Now I'm unable to uninstall this modem without crashing the system. I get the blue screen...
