Quoting my wife who admins a bunch of Compaq hardware:
"Generally yes. but I would check the Compaq site to see what
controller cards are compatible with the main system. I've been tripped
up many times by SCSI incompatibilities, etc. I run several models of
tower Proliant 3000 with a few different types of array controllers and
cabinets. "

========original query to list================
I am the tech. coordinator for a small school. We have several Compaq
ProLiant 1500 (single 100 Mhz processor) servers equipped with 1 SCSI
CD-ROM and 5 hot swappable hard drives. The CDROM and 5 drives take it
to the max of 7 SCSI devices for the Compaq Controller. The computer is
used for file storage and its speed is fine, but we need more room. My
question is can I add a second Compaq Controller card and add an
external ProLiant 5 drive storage unit. External Proliant storage units
can be purchased cheaply at many auctions and will take hot swappable
drives.
Thanks
