(This is a resend - I never got my original message back so I suppose it got stuck in that
list server hiccup a few months ago...)
Hello everybody,
we recently acquired a HP NetServer 4/33 LE (later upgraded to 100 MHz) for the University
computer museum and are trying to get it going now. This involves some configuration
changes for which one needs a configurator disk - the one we got with it is flaky (reads
unreliably). We did download the Netserver LE ECU (EISA configuration utility) disk images
from HP's website but when the changes are made, the program complains that the actual
system board ID differs from the one in the configuration file and does not save the new
configuration to the CMOS.
Clearing the CMOS via DIP switch did not improve the situation. We finally got the
original disk to boot once but got the same message. A BIOS update/reflash is not possible
because the update utility wants Video BIOS shadowing enabled, which would - you guessed
it - be done by means of the configuration utility.
Am I doing something wrong here, do I have the wrong disk image or is our mainboard
toast?
As usual, thanks in advance...
