IBM PC Server 330

[kissmine]

I have been given a Dual pii-266 with 27gig hdds (6 x 4.5gig rack). I am having a lot of problems with installing a OS onto it!

I am not sure on what the Hdd rack is ment to plug into? There is 3 cables. 2x scsi and 1x little pin. It has a scsi CDrom too. If anyone can point me to a site or more infomation on how i can get this going. It would be great

Thanx Kissmine

Your machine is a PC Server 330, but has also a Type-Model

Find them and go at :

http://www.ibm.com/support/us/

Click Personal Computer, and continue.
Sorry in this moment the site is off line, and I cannot be more precise.

Hi there,

Take a look here:

http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/quickPath.do?quickPathEntry=8640-PM0&Go.x=6&Go.y=6

This should take you to the page for a PC Server 330

If you check in the OS installation section, you might find some guidance.

If your machine is not a 8640-PM0, then you can go to the site that victory listed and type your machine type and model type in and it should take you to a similar site.

One manaual that should be available is the Hardware Maintenance Manual. This is the book that tells you what all of the parts that are on your server is/are/does. This should be in the downloadable publications section under HMM.

Best of luck,

DEAR TEK-TIPS MEMBERS/USERS/EXPERTS,

I HAVE IBM PC SERVER 330 MODEL: (8640-PM0) WITH LATEST BIOS 28A .... I INSTALLED WINDOWS 2000 SERVER ON IT WITH BOOTABLE CD. IT HAS BUILT IN S3 TRIO64V+ CARD WHICH IS WORKING PROPERLY BUT WHEN I INSTALL ANOTHER 4MB ATI 3D RAGE IIC CARD OR TRIDENT 4MB CARD IN PCI EXPENSON SLOT 1 OR 2 THEN I GOT VGA CONFLICT ERROR IN DEVICE MANAGER. AND IT'S SHOWING YELLOW TAGS ON BOTH CARDS. AND IN VGA PROPERTIES/SETTINGS I GOT ONLY 16 COLORS DISPLAY

WHEN I CLICK ON ATI RAGE IIC CARD IN DEVICE MANAGER I SEE THIS ERROR.

Click Troubleshooter to start the troubleshooter for this device.

AND WHEN I CLICK ON S3TRIO64V+ IN DEVICE MANAGER I SEE THIS ERROR.
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Click Troubleshooter to start the troubleshooter for this device.

I ALSO TRY DISABLE S3TRIO CARD BUT I STILL GOT SAME VGA CONFLICT ...
