[plug] Compaq Proliant 3000 Server

[Shannon Carver]

Hi, 
 
Been using one of these for a while now (As well as the 1650, and 1850).  You need the Compaq System Start Disc, which comes on a CD.  I've been using the one CD on a whole bunch of Proliants without problems, so I don't think there's any reason you can't use any disc, if you can find one.
 
The System Start Disc launches the BIOS/Raid config/Rompaq update and general system information.
 
Have a hunt around for it, and check the Compaq site maybe?  If not, email me back privately, and I'll be more than happy to send you a copy.  I hope this is legal?  I wouldnt have thought there'd be a legal issue with reproduce a bios/system CD.
 
Regards
 
Shannon Carver

	Does anyone have any experience with this machine? We have 1 of them
	with ~64Gb in a scsi RAID at CA.
	It doesn't want to boot off a linux boot floopy or CD, and I can't
	seem to find away into a BIOS utility that lets me set boot order.
	At one stage it allows me to press F10 and I then get a non system
	disk... error message. Pressing F1 to continue leads me to a blank
	screen with nothing new showing on the LCD or screen.
	
	Thanks
	
	Tim
