Hrmm. That is a bit unfortunate then. At the time what attracted me was the many 3.5" HDD bays and it being the only server at the time in the HP lineup with that configuration. Unfortunately this one is pretty new and still has a three year care pack left on it so I'm pretty much stuck with it.
The motherboard has SATA headers, have you tried a SATA DVD drive? I've been using the iLO and USB with no luck so I might try that next. Thanks Bede -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
