Setting up Original Proliant Storage System

I have a chance top get an Original Proliant Storage System for free and was think of setting it up at home for storage, no raid, nothing fancy, just plain old scsi. Can I connect it to the Adaptec AHA2940AU I already have or do I have to use a Compaq SCSI Controller? Please let me know. Thanks.

It's not supported by Compaq that way, but that doesn't mean it won't work... I honestly can't answer the question. So long as there are already some (free) drives in it, there's no harm in trying.

Yeah, you can hook the original storage unit (as well as any F1/F2 or U1/U2) to any SCSI host controller.

I'm currently running an original storage unit off an old desktop with just an Adaptec controller, and I used to have an F1 and a U1 doing the same thing. The F2/U2 would work in theory, provided you have 2 controllers to hook up to the duplex unit.
