    rebuilding DL380 software from scratch

    Hi Greg Thanks for the note. You must have a newer machine as this version doesn't offer any USB ports. I used to get good help from Compaq but since the merger not so much. Blister offered some last ditch suggestions above which I'll try. In the scheme of things if it had been just one...

    rebuilding DL380 software from scratch

    Hi Blister; I let it run for 45 minutes with switch 6 on. No change in behavior. No combination of switch settings in the S1 group ever results in either an output to the video, an access or boot from the floppy, or a boot from the CD although the CD does spin up and acts like it is being...

    rebuilding DL380 software from scratch

    I've let it run awhile, but doubt it was as long as 5 minutes. I'll try it again and let it cook longer.

    rebuilding DL380 software from scratch

    Thanks blister I'll try that. I haven't had a chance to do the bios and firmware as I haven't been able to boot the system yet. If I can get it up I was planning to run ERASE on it then do a system config. I do have all the current updates ready to go should I get the chance. Wayne

    rebuilding DL380 software from scratch

    Thanks Blister I have the G1 version of the DL380. The insight board is an add-on and may well be the problem. The system came with no mouse/keyboard adapter for the RIB so I can't really connect it to the machine. I removed the RIB but still can't get the thing to boot. It won't boot from...

    rebuilding DL380 software from scratch

    I bought a Compaq DL380 on ebay to use as a file server. I believe it was part of a cluster and has a remote insite board and a dual NIC card installed. I'm told it came from a running environment but the disks are wiped. It doesn't boot to the floppy or the CD and has no video output. How...
