How to change BIOS / config of Netserver 5/100 LC ?

[Uli Manschke]

Hi,
got an old Netserver 5/100 LC, but tells something like "EISA NVRAM config invalid".
It was a couple of minutes ago able to boot WinNT4, but now crashes after a few minutes doing nothing.
It mentions a special CD to boot from? Don't have one. Where can I get it? HP internally is OK.
How do I get access to the NVRAM config? Need to enable IDE drive (currently using only SCSI).
Thanx for help!

hey,

U have to use HP Navigator CD for doing these tasks. This might have been shipped along with the server. U have to boot through this CD inorder to make changes !

HTH,

You don't need the Navigator CD to configure the server. Besides, the Nav CD for this server is discontinued, and no longer orderable from HP. All you need is the ECU (EISA Configuration Utility). The ECU can be downloaded and extracted to a floppy diskette. Boot to the floppy to run the ECU. Also, you need to have a bios that matches the ECU you intend to use. Both the latest BIOS and ECU are on the link below.
