Help booting HP Netserver LDPro...

[F.Pastor]

I??ve bought a second hand HP Netserver LDPro. I try loading windows 2000
but its not any way to find or format the hard disc, and the system can't
find the CD. I tried even with the bootable diskette of win 98 or 2000.
Looks the server is bootable only from A and I dont know how to access the
bios to change that. The HP Netserver navigator CD untill now its also
unuseful. Any help?
Many thanks.

F.Pastor,

The Bios is not F2 accessable.. you need the ECU to access the Eisa Config Utility. You can get it from http://www.hp.com if you don't have the nav cd. Here is the link directly to the download/driver page for the LD pro: http://h20004.www2.hp.com/keeper_rnotes/bsdmatrix/matrix50444.html

Make sure that your cable is seated on the CD-Rom and the scsi controller as well.

I would recommend setting switch 4 to off to clear the config. Then after clear config message appears power back off and set switch 4 back to on. Then boot to the ECU diskette and verify settings and save and exit. Then flash BIOS.

Ciao,
Greg
