Compaq Proliant DL580 Server Teardown - Quad Pentium III Xeon
SCSI! Yes I bought the Compaq Proliant DL580 server for 25 euro! It is a beast of a 4 cpu xeon server with 4 scsi bays!

OMG... This machine brings back memories! I spent a small fortune (to me) back in the early 2000s on it and built out a private streaming service with ripped DVDs from Netflix.
You meant blockbuster? I don't recall Netflix not being a streaming service.
No I mean Netflix. They first started as a mail-based DVD rental service back in 1998ish. Not sure if that year is correct. @@weeeeeeeeeeeew
Wow what a monster. There is a lot of power inside a single PC!
Ha, ha, ha. Yea. If one goes and buys a microwave, it will have (most likely) some ARM chip, faster than all the chips combined in that.
Sadly only electrical power. I'm pretty sure my slow fanless home server Dell Wyse 3290 from 2014 with dual core Celeron N2807, 256G SSD and 8GB of RAM would tear it apart in terms of computational performance, ram and disk speed no matter what.
@@jevgenijobzigailov2376 Shhh!!! Heheh. Anyway I had a quad pentium 2 xeon Compaq machine some years ago and it was huge compared to this one so I am going to compare it to that.
Awesome! It is great to see the old passion for computers that seems to have gone away. You are the man!
Those servers were absolute beasts. I bought 3 of them second-hand around 2007. Learned a lot while labbing with them!
It has that 80s Akai sampler / audio gear look that's just pure chef's kiss. Lovely. Merry Xmas Vic.
Yes would love to have a full rack full of it :D
Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to You and Your family.
Love your channel, thanks for another video, Merry Christmas!
Thanks!
I want to see this old beast reach its final form. A great find. Good luck on the DL380 G1 search, maybe there's an 1850R floating around out there, the little brother.
I have some serwerworks based retro servers. I confirm they are rock solid with no memory size limits like intel did :) I maxed out IBM xSeries x232 with 4x1GB SDRAM, with two 1.4 GHz PIII and 6x 300GB drives and xSeries x235 with 6x2GB DDR SDRAM (that is perfectly usable with 32-bit windows server!) and also 6x 300GB drives. My ML330g2 has only four 512MB sticks tho. Never had huge rack to have rackmount versions of servers... Only rackmount DL360 g2 is lying in a room corner, sad, without top cover and without CPUs. That DL580 is true monster :)
The problem with all that old equipment is that it eats way too much power, compared to all the modern, miniaturized stuff. Many small offices were left with 32 bit machines, motherboards, ram modules, SCSI controllers, hard drives, 100 Mbps LAN cards, modems and other crap from 20xx era. Very often it does work, but is just too weak to execute any sort of modern software. Nobody will buy it and considering electro-waste - it's bad to dump it.
@@madyogi6164 Yeah, thats true, but they are rare machines that were mostly scrapped. Trying to find working DL580? Good luck. They are perfect for playing around and having it in collection - but they take a lot of space too. Powering both x232 and x235 on same 1000VA (670W) UPS, took 5 IEC power cables and overloaded it almost instantly :D For daily server/NAS I'm using custom server with old beige supermicro towe case ~2005 with 7 SATA hotplug bays and ~2011 X9SCA-F mainboard with Ivy Bridge xeon. It consumes power... next to nothing. It's my primary storage server, that I can accept running 24/7.
Compaq also had all the Digital Equipment Corp IP at the time HP acquired them. What a steal.
Yea Kasper good luck haha, nicely done Victor this is the real stuff, I really hope you manage to get them extra two P3 Xeon 900 Mhz 2MB L32 CPU's that would be the ultimate dream setup, and 16GB I thought 16x 2GB PC-133 ECC Reg could work, maybe there is a Bios update for that who knows,.
Keep us posted in the Discord , thisis really awesome gear man grats again and Merry x-mas!
Great video✌
Irrespective of the insane amount of power behind this chassis, I love the beige colour. Would be awesome to see that in it's heyday, used in a rack.
Merry Christmas Victor Bart, for you and your family. Greetings from Steven from the Netherlands
I’m jealous!
The only retro Compaq/HP equipment i got at the moment is a DL360 G2.
Nice catch
I remember working on those, setting up one took a while because of all the smart start shit you had to install.
Crazy amount of computation for the time with 4x PIII xeons. I like the easily removable pci card system with the trapdoor.
I recently won a dual socket A motherboard, a Tyan S2466, for cheap with a saved ebay search i had for years on dual socket A. Came with 2x Athlon MP 2000+, coolers, io shield and 1.5gb of ecc ram at 2.5 timings (i could upgrade it but no point just now). I actually had another Tyan dual socket A board for a few years but no CPUs as Athlon MP is for me rare to find or very expensive. However, i recently found out that MPs are just XPs that are validated (no core differences), most boards can actually run with Athlon XPs! Wish i knew that before!
Problem is i got fed up waiting for Athlon MPs to show up that i bought an MSI K7N2 Delta that has nforce 2 400 chipset; it can do 400mhz fsb, dual channel memory, sata, onboard lan chipset... I know the single socket MSI will be faster in games but for SMP enabled programs the Tyan will be faster and it's also just a bit more unique. So idk what to build 😅
Tbh I recommend pentium iii slot 1 for fast voodoo video cards or Athon 64; beyond that your better with current hardware imo. Although i have a k6iii+ as my main retro rig, I don't recommend them now as they're expensive and piii slot 1 is just faster but you can disable cache and that on k6iii+ for dos which makes it a good AIO system.
Omg! waiting for the build with 4 of those 2mb 900 mhz slot 2 xeons!
I've always wanted a Proliant 8500 with 8x Pentium III Xeon 900mhz CPUs but those machines are massive and where I live the likelihood of just finding one locally is extremely low.
I saw one go for a few hunderd $ on ebay a few years back. They are very rare at this point.
I own a few systems with 8 sparc cpu’s biggest one almost weight 150KG
8 socket xeons are always rare
I had the 8 Way Box, used Wndows Server with SQL2000 with a 100GB database, 50 transactions per second production server for 1000 employee ERP system.
If your drives are missing, check for jumpers determining drive ID-s (shorted directly on the drives) or the controller firmware/BIOS setup.
Great video, as an ex HP engineer who played with those early 2000's CPQ x86 servers I'm curious to see what you're about to do with that beast in the future.
First upgrade it! :D
Please never stop tinkering Victor 👍
Sorry, did you say something at @15:56? I think someone decided to start vacuuming the carpet.
cool~!
I love rack mount computers!
oh my gosh ! I didn't know Pentium III Xeon existed in quad CPUS configuration , long time ago , I had a dual pentium III Xeon system
02:22 ... Ready for takeoff? 😂
Victor what is the power sage?
👍
You need a Master Hard Drive.
Compaq always built things like tanks, and every motherboard had a picture on it, at least the ones I’ve owned.
could you see about loading something like windows xp server or whatever XP based os that supports 4 sockets and run cinebench r15?
i'm REALLY curious to see what a quad p3 would score LOL
@victor, Xeon = "Zee-ON" and the LBS measurement is short for POUNDS (USA) Also, MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OREGON, USA! :)
You might want to go with a version of Linux Mint CINNAMON version latest Edition but you might have to install a 1TiB of DDR3 ECC RAM.
I need to make a video of my 6 way Pentium Pro, I think you would enjoy it.
Cool system, but you have got to replace those fans with something quieter. Otherwise you will lose your hearing.
Time to put a sleeper server into this thing.
Better keep it original!
12:24 It's a bullet.
Sound of working server it's better music for my ears!
I would have the DL580 in my collection. But it was too loud, too heavy and too big for me. So I had to give the device away. Nobody in my family tolerated this noise, especially since you can't work with it either. And I simply don't have room for such a mega tank. Otherwise, great device, the best you could get back then. Unfortunately no AGP slot 😁 but it's good for that it's a server and not a gaming PC.
Can it run Connectix Virtual PC on top of Win2k? that way you can leverage all the CPU's and run some win2k VMs inside win2k on a PIII Xeon :D
What would be the purpose of running several VMs on this?
@@weeeeeeeeeeeew for fun, also because software around the era of this system wasn't really SMP optimised, I was running dual P3 systems for my home PC and while awsome for some tasks nothing was really able to leverage more than one CPU
I might run windows 2000 terminal server 😃
lmao I agree! ;)
Looks like a .22 bullet .. I've been playing too much fallout lately hehehe
yes or a 40mm grenate :D
Would be fantastic if you found an 8 socket version.
Maybe some day :D
You need to install good linux and put a webpage in this thing, lets see how much connection it can handle! Make sure you have 4 PCI ethernet card and bond them together so you can suck the juice from all 4x Xeon! Also you probable need 4x 15k scsi with a good raid10 setup. I say it can handle a thousand :)
i think the first drawback would have been the weight!
it is just liftable! :D
I'll buy that PCI USB 1.1 card off of you.
Contact me, I'm not hard to find..
Have the pIII system you were looking for. Have the 950/133 system (only two) it with all the PSU, have a raid card and various other bits.
Have the fibre network for these and San hardware...
You can shoot here, make a short holiday of it.....
I may have to send you home with some hardware too... Have matching deskpro from that era, boot issue I think with riser card..(motherboard power connect).
And era laptop. My favourite and as fast as some of the new laptops... P3.
Lol hot plug pci with the trap door
I think I should show that in a video :D
I've not got to that bit yet, but are you telling me PCI isn't meant to be hot plugged? 😆 I've accidentally done it before on a powered on machine. Didn't die or crash but I think that was more luck than anything. Wouldn't want to try it with the staggered double rows of an AGP connector though.
@@Error42_ pci hotplug was supported on servers for a time. But it was rarely used because most pci cards needed you to reboot ur os either way.
@@christopherjackson2157 Interesting to know. Kind of defeats the object if you have to reboot anyway, may as well play it safe.
@Error42_ makes it easier to change cards anyway just with the trapdoor, even if you have to reboot the system
hey victor, i have 2 smart arrays cards laying here in my attic. let me know if you want them.
Nice! Which models 😃
I'll send you a message when i know the models. Not at home atm
Run windows 10 😅😅😅😅
No windows 2000! Best OS ever!
@@victorbart 👍👍👍👍👍
add 2 sli voodoo 2 gpu lol
hahaha :D
