I recently came into possession of 2 Compaq Proliant 6500 servers, along with a bunch of spare hardware.
I've been trying to load an OS on to one, but it refuses to recognize the CD drives. This makes it hard to run a live distro, let alone install an OS.
It won't even boot the Compaq SmartStart disc I burned.
Does anyone have experience with this sort of hardware?
Here are the resources I've been trying to use:
Compaq Manuals
Compaq Hardware Description
Gentoo Wiki and the 6500
Any help would be much appreciated.
