Compaq 5500r setup

[Paul7905]

I have a refurbished compaq 5500r server that I picked up for a song and want to set it up at home, essentially I want to use to learn about servers in general and how to network it with my PC etc.

I just acquired two 9.1 gb 10k hot swap drives for it and also NT 4.0 operating system. I have not attempted to plug it into the wall yet pending doing some research into the nuances of setting it up.

Can anyone direct me to a good source of information regarding initial setup and configuration of a compaq 5500r server?

thanks
Paul

If you want to save yourself alot of time and effort make sure to get a copy of the smartstart cd.

Good Luck
