RE: Compaq Proliant Server help

["Stephen Wright" <stephen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Compaq 1850R to which I added a PCI IDE controller and a couple
of 120Gig drives. Works a treat under Linux
The trick is to get one that does not have its own built in Bios so it
won't try and override your primary SCSI raid controller.
I used this one from Komplett

On another point my Compaq has practically doubled my electric bill :-(

Oh btw this is my first post to the list having joined a few months back
so hello everyone!

Subject: [ukha_d] Compaq Proliant Server help

Hey all,

In the process of considering a proliant 3000 as the basic system for
most of my SOHO networking (including all my HA stuff).

But, i've never had any experience of these - are they upgradable
etc?  I plan to use several for different things (as the ones on ebay
have such small processors).  One as a file server one to host the
intranet etc.

Any help or advice appreciated.  Can you just 'add' processor cards
for example?

TIA,

Matt

P.S

Away over the weekend so if I don't reply its proabably because i'll
be at Disneyland Paris! (hiding big cheesy grin!)
