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
