greetings

i have a few dual P3 Compaq 1850R units and use compaq smartstart 5.5 on
them before a CentOS 4 load

i have acquired some dual P3 Compaq DL380 G1 i.e. Generation 1 units and am
wondering which specific smartstart download i should be using for them from
this URL below

h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/subscription/ssdownloads.asp

would someone please share their experience on this so i dont have to waste
time and bandwidth?

thank you and kind regards



Robert:

The latest SmartStart (7.40) should work with the DL380 G1.  The latest firmware update cd (7.40) should work on it as well.  I must admit I haven't tried since SmartStart 7.10 a little while ago.  I know for sure the latest firmware update cd will _NOT_ work on the 1850R.  The NIC is not supported and causes it to hang on startup.  Good luck.
