- 1999 Compaq Proliant 3000, First Boot & SCSI Raid Setup
I bought this machine untested with no warrenty for only 25 euro. So I gonna restore it to full working order! We gonna see if it works (yes it did) then we gonna configure the SCSI Raid on the Compaq Smart Array 2DH. And we Install Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

This server is *gorgeus*. I like the lego man behind u. Hey!
The door, when you find it, will no doubt cost more than the system lol.
Yes 🙈 Maybe I find another 3000 and combine them and get spare parts 😁
@mark smithier the model after the 3000, the dl380 ml370 etc supports p3 1ghz
@@victorbart I used to have a proliant 3000! it is a absolute UNIT of a machine! mine had wheels on it which was awesome. but it looks like yours has a different mobo which is interesting. mine used processor riser cards and took Pentium II's not pentium IIIs and it had 4 slots of RAM on mobo AND it had a riser card that added 8 more RAM slots for a max of a whopping 3 GIGABYTES OF RAM WHOAA haha lol. mine had 256MB of ram in it. but the case was the same. I had the LCD screen same PSUS same everything else..I just had a different motherboard. my Proliant 3000 is unfortunately long gone. I did have the front door for it. I did some Googling and the Proliant 3000R motherboard kinda looks like the one I had..but again, I had your case(with wheels) and PSUs and everything else
It´s funny that you say SCUSI :) Here in Germany, we say SCASI to SCSI
Love listening to your English it makes you sound like a mad scientist. Always a plus :)
I threw mine away about five years ago.
Presumably the guys at the recycling place did well out of it.
We used it as a heater in one place where we lived :-)
Nice :) I used to love using and running these guys back in the day and still have a few. I agree on the experience. If you like the experience.. try some of the Fujitsu systems. Really nice similar idea with the embedded windows and config then sets up Windows Server or ESX/ESXi, or Linux .. etc from within windows embedded with all the utilities to configure all your various crimes. Great fun! :)
Awesome stuff Victor! I'm an HPC sysadmin, working with servers all the time and I really enjoy this retro-data-center contents!
We had several of these beasts at work back in the day running NT4 and Windows 2000 Server. Compared to modern rack mounted machines these are huge.
Aaaaah, happy memories..I miss those days..I did a lot of support on systems like these :-) You better protect your ears if you're working for a long time in the same room as were the server is runnning..these systems produce much noice
Wow a stone bit time machine :) But it fits to the owner, both classics grins.😁
Golden Oldies 😘
Victor, I actually installed these brand new in 1999 they are really nice machines. The 264gb Nick's that are in the system are perfect and they are fully supported. We even had multi-port nics in some of these servers. 4 total of 4 ports in each server or more. We used these for DB, web, file servers. These are great machines.
If you need any help please let me know.
You touched my heart. Thank you. I administered my own two such models over 20 years ago. They always "sang" so nicely!
Excellent work getting this going, your aptitude, persistence, and knowledge are all very impressive!
Can't wait to see what other 20th century treasures you find and restore!
I remember we got one of these at my high school and it was a huge deal. So cool. Thanks for the retro video.
Great video Bart. Compaq Proliant was the reason why Hp wanted the Compaq company. I’m certified Compaq Proliant tech from early 1994... Ps! Banyan Vines was a popular Server OS back in the 90’.. 😁
Another incredible video, can't wait for the follow up! Ah those times when a capable OS would just use 60MB ram...
Nice server Victor Bart. Nice to have. Greetings from Steven from the Netherlands
Great video. My first sysadmin job, I managed a Compaq Proliant 6000 server running NT 4, that was a PDC, File Server, Exchange Server, and Proxy. It had Dual Pentium Pro CPUs, less than a Gig of RAM.
Used to run one for a Medal of Honor server.
Nr. 2, omelette du fromage 🤣
The internal layout sorta reminds me of the server I currently own :)
This is a beauty
Awesome. Don’t forget though those pci slots share one pci bus. If I remember correctly 133MB/s max.. So don’t expect miracles when combining raid cards with a quad gigabit nic as you suggested. Then again... maxing it out and making it suffer till it bleeds is kinda nice as well.. 😎
Yes I know! That is downside of this server. I prefer PCI 64bit! And it would be cool if the isa slots were EISA 😁
Well, it’s old anyway.. So just enjoy it for what it is. 🙂 I love speccing things out with time-accurate hardware and then make it suffer by hitting theoretical limits.. 🤓 Cool project!
@@martintimmermans8952 here i am fixing up an make-shift server from around 2009/10 - at least it has ddr3 and pciex 2.0^^
@@martintimmermans8952 haha
Awesome video! I have a ProLiant 3000 and two 5500 I tinker around with occasionally. I run the 3000 with Debian 10 as my Pihole DNS resolver during the colder months, haha!
Good job buddy
Personally I love these type of big monster machines
We had the "big brother" of that server at work. The elevator was out, the day it got delivered. It took 4 of us to get it up to the second floor. They don't make them like that any more. I haven't thought about SCSI in years. I don't miss the sound of those drives and fans.
i have the pc of my foster brother for fixing and stuff, fujitsu celsius m470. only 2 hdd´s, 1 fx3800 but that thing must weigh 15kg, it could hold up to 8+ 3-5 hdd´s, i should stop, my back hurts already....
I love your videos Victor! That server is like the great great great great grandaddy to the Dl380 G6 in my home lab!
Comment for RUclips algorithm so I continue to receive updates on this dudes video's... 👍
You can hit the bell button! Normally I dont ask for that but it can help :D
Welcome on the channel! :D
Pretty cool video about tech back then!
Ahhhh good old Windows 2000 Advanced Server, my old friend from back then 1999 when I installed it on a former work.
Even managed to survive the "i love you" virus, and crashing a few times during the removal due to a user insisting to read her mails...... :P
Man that thing is fancy! Will love to see if it can play some games with a voodoo PCI card or something
fabulous machine
Great stuff Victor - takes me back ... already looking forward to the next video!
man! spending time with these big and heavy pieces of metal is surely better.
Cool
Nice 🙂👍 chaa 😁.
A worthy Dino saur
Cool stuff man! Good to see something like this saved from the scrap pile and put to good use.
I'd put an analog/ISDN modem on one of those ISA slots, it's the most server-related thing that you could fit in it. If you have 3 ISA modems you can slot in all of them and pretend that this would be for some sort of remote access service. If you find or have around an old PBX you could even simulate the remote access system, hooking to it the server and some PCs equipped with modems. By configuring the Windows' routing and remote access services you should be able to connect to the server via modem and if you give Internet access to it via LAN you can even use your server as a router, to browse the Internet from the client like you would've done in the 90ies. I did a similar experiment some time ago and it worked :-)
Personally I'm not really fond of sound cards or 3D accelerated cards on servers, because they're more of a consumer/prosumer thing, I see them better being installed into normal PCs.

I laughed soo hard!
scuzi mzrfrkr
yeah boi cant wait to watch this video
Damn nice Server, This makes my ProLiant Mini Gen 8 I bought look like a kids toy lol
i had a dual p133 compaq server in 2000. It sounded just like this. My girlfriend at the time was not amused lol.
I have a similar server but it's dual Pentium Pro's. I can't wait to get it as far as you have yours.
Congrats Victor ! Very cool piece of metal :-)
Thanks for this great video Victor! I recently found 3 of these bad boys and have 2 up and running... Sort of. I'm getting stuck with Smart start and I believe you are using a different version (I have 5.5). What version are you using? Greetings from Roermond
Had twee van die bakken thuis, met de stroomprijzen van toen geen probleem maar zou ze nu niet aandurven laten staan voor de lol 😃
omelette du fromage 🤣 Miss the time we could make fun of each others countries without political correctness
Yes it is good to make fun about European countries and the US! 🥳
@@victorbart NoWay(Norway) yes 420 and ThunderDome ;D
Absolutely, I too wanna make fun of one another again without having to look over my shoulder!
I have a Compaq ProLiant ML370 running 6x300GB SCSI HDDs. Basically, since I'm running FreeBSD, I made three Hardware RAID5 arrays across all drives and used ZFS to stripe them all due to a limitation in the RAID controller. You could probably do four or five, but basically keep each array size below 512GB (I'm suspecting).
Fantastic find
Proliant's haven't got much lighter over the years. I had to relocate my ML350 yesterday, I'll be aching for days :D :D
the ML350 is the ugly duckling in the HP line. They try to continue the old 5U style tower cases, For modern system I prefer the 2U of a 5U Ml350
@@victorbart Oh she's definitely no looker, that's why it's now tucked away in a room in solitary confinement with the ugliest switch I could pair it with :)
@@victorbart The ML350 is best for using as a cheap high performance desktop though ;) lots of PCIE. Only thing is most people order it with only 2.5 drive bays and getting 3.5 bays are expensive. At least with older models you can use the optical bays but the new ones don't have any.
really awesome, only caveat the loudness!
25 euro? That's a great price, the cheapest price I saw them on Ebay was $350.
Such memories :) just been looking up a 2500 but they go for silly money on ebay 😬
Beatiful machine!
Cool stuff
This is Sooo Cool :D
i think you got it for a Really good Price tho 25euro around 250 Nok in Norway :D
Wow! That is nice!
Neat keyboard, what's the model number?
Amazing video!
That’s a cool machine.
I have one giant ancient proliant server at office. Will revive it soon.
Nice
Ah slotted CPU's... Nostalgia trip :)
only in p2/p3 era - that i would know of
I inherited two of these systems in early 2000s at work, and combined them to a single dual-CPU system. Was a workhorse for years as file server running NetBSD, including DLT backup. I just copied EISA Configuration Utilities (ECU) for this last weekend, send me a message and I can get post them if anybody is interested.
You have a item that has a high rating before failure or military specs
we had one of those... !!! :)
We all had one of those in companies :D
I'm also searching for a similar one ( Compaq Proliant 7000 ) can't find a single one of them.
The memory sticks must to go in as a pair of modules.
But, can it run crysis?
how shit victor bart thats awesome!
"scussy" LOL
Actually, that's "scoochie". :D
Hello, what kind of keyboard do you use ?
I am here for the scuusizz
Italiano ahahha. Great job. Ciao

Well this is "technically" a HP server, as HP bought Compaq and used their server designs. This is why the DL380 generation 1 and 2 are branded Compaq, while later ones are HP, all the way up to the current DL380 gen10.
NO! The Pentium3 line of HP was a way different line.
the HP gen 3 4 5 etc are Compaq designs.
They dropped the HP netserver line and went with the Compaq Design :)
@@victorbart Yes, that's what I meant. That HP basically just took over the design from when they bought Compaq, so that's why I would say this is "technically" a Hp server :P
nice
I had one of these in like 2009 found it on craigslist for $30
Are you able to install some Coppermine CPU’s in it?
Damn that's a chunky system. When i was studying in IT i was blown away by servers having gigabytes of ram and terrabytes of storage in the 90s and early 2000s compared to pcs of that era. Bringing me to the questions, was there a way for servers of that era to have more than 4gb of ram?
My AAlchemy can run 8gb on dual p3 933. And the quad and octo p3 xeons can handle 16gb sdram
@@victorbart beautiful
headphones included ?
I suspect UBUNTU Server Latest version would be a better match for that system.
now see how many voodoo2's you can get in 'sli'
try to put in noctua fans :)
Hopefully, the 380s make it your Way too..! ;)
hi why not use one of the many expansion slots to put an pci to compactflash or sd card for use it as boot drive, that way you have full space in the scsi drives and it's more dependable that way & boot faster.
greetings
I can also look for the compaq 2x 5.25 drive bay with 2 hotswap drives. Or I can split the raid arrays like with 10x 300gb make a 10x 5gb raid5 boot and 10x 295gb raid5 data. I have some options to choose 😁
@@victorbart well that is a possibility but if your going crazy with scsi or drives why not get a double compact flash to pci adapter with both of these cards you could configure them in raid 1 for redundancy or in 0 for max speed or better yet a 2.5" to pci card adapter that way you could mount a 2.5" ssd in that card, or something crazy like I don't know a ide raid card with 4x sd to ide adapters in raid , or 4x compact flash to pci adapters or something...
greetings & good luck finding that front panel
That software your putting In have you got a link for that to copy to disk
Google SmartStart 5.5. Youc an download it on the HP site
Does this have the RILOE II board?
ilo1 should work, with exteral PSU and PS2 cable, have it in my 5500
Needs an AWE 64 of course ;-)
Or awe32 so full length card 😂
Waar heb je dat ding gekocht? Ik zoek eigenlijk de 7000
marktplaats
Der staat een 7000 op marktplaats in grote partij oude servers. Misschien samen kopen en verdelen?
this is not 4k? 😃
I shot it on my GH3 from 2012 :)
@@victorbart no problem is ok. Verry good price for this old server.
What's a "scuzy" drive?
Scoosi!
think you are missing some drivers. the fans shouldnt be that high just sitting there.
Yes need to figure that out, but first im testing out which SCSI setup I want, then I gonna reinstall windows and see which tools I gonna install.
You're lucky.
Hey Victor, you could easily make a few part video from this.
German !!! :D
NEIN!
Why would win2k not support that ethernet card????
I meant buildin driver
