    Onboard Video dead, how to add PCI card

    I am sorry I didnt read the topic very well. Indeed it seems like an array controller vs video card conflict. I will check tonight which IRQ &such are used by the Array controller in my system, this will give us a hint perhaps. Yep, upgrading the Array firmware can be a good thing. This...

    Running XP Pro on a PL 3000 / 5500

    From my experience: Win XP prof runs fine on a Proliant 3000 with a: System setup 1 PII 300 Mhz 384 MB RAM 2x smart array 2-DH controllers All systems were 'recognized' fine, XP used its own drivers.

    Proliant 5500 Firmware will not upgrade?

    Are you sure you use the right firmware.. If you got a firmware version from 4/99 you are probably using a pentium-pro or PII 300 version.. Which is not the P12 system..

    Error message on Proliant 2500

    Sandav is right. Using 3rd party stuff gets you into trouble. I do have to make a remark; When using A-brand memory which is exactly same as the OEM mem, (like same speed, bank config, EDO, buffered, voltage, the lot), there will be no probs.. My own experience and those of my fellow system...

    Onboard Video dead, how to add PCI card

    Yup Sanday is right The system config switch (located just beneath the onboard memory banks) should be checked. You must set the 1st switch to 'OFF' (Which corresponds to 'onboard video use'. The default setting is ON) Maybe you missed that one? And/or double check Win2K video drivers..

Ghost the C:\ partition onto the F: drive Same goes for the D: -> G: drive Remove the old 36GB 's (You might also want to...

    Proliant 5500 not booting\posting flashing Attention LED

    You might also want to check these cover switches themselves. They tend to fall inward a bit after fair use (a.k.a. when removing the side/top covers a lot ;) ) And thus not making contact even when the covers are in place..
