Proliant DL380 G2

[ElmerWFudd]

Can anyone post a link to the support manual for Proliant DL380 G2?

Although the different link below works for ML370 I could not shorten the URL to get to a menu.

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/UCR/SupportManual/TPM_143091-004/TPM_143091-004.pdf

I just unpacked a G2 and would like to do a POST. So far it just beeps repeatedly, no display.

 

[ElmerWFudd]

Well, the inside of the lid helped my reinstall the memory into the correct slots: 1A & 4A. Boots now. Still looking for manual. Could not find on HP site.

 

[TheLad]

Try the link below which is for the DL380 G2 as requested:

[ElmerWFudd]

Thanks, that link takes me to utility to download recent articles, SmartStart 7.something, but not the original install & setup. I want to downlod the manual that shipped with the G2 when it was new (2002)

 

[TheLad]

If you go to the link I posted above and click on the "Manuals (Guides, supplement, addendums, etc)" link on that page under Resources, you get the manuals in PDF format.

The manual you probably want is "Compaq ProLiant DL380 Generation 2 Setup and Installation Guide"

[ElmerWFudd]

Yes, I am looking there. It lists "newish" documents. As an example, below is the complete contents of S.I.A:

"Setup and install - administrator

Title Date posted Format Size (MB) Estimated download time

Go to top"

This does not seem to be a complete list as only Windows Server 2003 is addressed. But that is all that is there.

 

[TheLad]

Are you looking for anything in particular? You have to bear in mind that the older operating systems are not supported now so HP probably do not offer the documentation online.

Wow! Thanks. I just pasted that into a Word.doc for reference. I am waiting for a retro SmartStart cd (3.9). I also got a spare cd-rom with the correct part number. I will post an update as a new thread soon. Thanks. EWF

If you want to use SmartStart with your DL380 G2, you will need SmartStart v7.x. You can download this from the HP website. Earlier versions of SmartStart (apart from maybe v5.5) will not work.
