I have a Compaq Proliant 1600 (Dual PII 450) that I want to set up as a server. I've run into a couple of bumps:
(a) One of the CPUs does not appear to be valid for the system
(b) The Proliant 1600 seems to need a CD of some sort to configure the SCSI drives, configuring them in the SCSI BIOS still brings up a message saying the drives need to be configured.
At this point I'm more interested in problem (a). I've checked the CPUs, both have the same VRM (Voltage Regulator Module) and both appear to be matched speed/cache. Is there a way to identify one as appropriate and one not? Or is this a problem with the second VRM?
Cheers,
Chas
