compaq dl380

[jetarcza]

I recently puchased 3 older compaq servers to use at home. They had no drives, memory and none of the software. I have never worked with compaq servers before so I have no Idea how to go about setting them or accesing the bios. The 3 servers are:

1850R running 2 P3 550
DL380 running 1 P3 933(ordered a second cpu)
DL360 running 1 P3 1.26(ordered a second cpu)

The 1850r came with a copy a CD that says 5.5 on it but I dont know how to run it.

Can anybody please give me some direction as where to start and what software I need.

Thanks

Joe

Hi,

You shall need smartstart to install OS cofigure array/raid.

Have attached smartstart CD matrix; refer the matrix and download suitable smartstart version from the link :
