Netserver LPr PCI Voltage

Andy Clark_1 — Sat, 23 Nov 2002 15:05:52 GMT

After researching the HP site looking for the PCI voltage for our LPr servers, I'm now posting the question here.

Is the voltage 3 (or 3.3) V, or 5V? I'm wanting to take an LPr and upgrade it to a Fax Server solution with BrookTrout fax boards, but the boards want a 5V PCI full-length slot.

Thanks in advance.

Andy...

From what I can tell, slots 1 and 2 may be 5v. Everything I can find on that server doesn't tell me specifically. BUT, some of the read states that a 4m disk array controller would need to go in slot 1 or 2. I am pretty sure the needs to be 5v. I'm still looking for a doc that states this. Another thing you coudl do would be install INSTANT toptools "locally" on that server and the PCI report may tell you the voltage or the slots...

like I said, i'm still digging...

Andy...
Now that I have access to documentation. All the slots in that LPr are 5 volt slots.
again, I'm sorry, Instant Top Tools would not give you this info.

Andy,
In all honesty, I work for Netserver tech support. When I replied the first time it was on a Saturday and I was not at work and didn't have resources handy.
I have since been working on a concise document describing the voltage, bit rate, and slot numbering for all PC NetServers. I will attempt to get published for customer viewing with in the next week or two.

I'm sorry to doubt you. I was just being thorough. The "indicators" didn't seem to show that you are an HP Support person (the HP symbol), but rather an expert in the field. If my IS Manager was to question the answers posted here, he would have asked the same question I did.

Thanks for the clarification.

No problem Andy, was running in "stealth mode" :-)
