Xeon VRM module for ProLiant 6500???

[Paddy]

I've found 6 Xeon P3 500/100/2mb on ebay that i've got shipped in from the US. I intend to use four of them, replacing the 2 Xeon P2 450/100/512 that i've currently got on board. Unfortunatley I cant find suitable VRM modules so that I can use the other two CPUs.

ebay has drawn a blank. Does anyone know of any other sources for obsolete hardware?

Other than a web search, probably not. It will be hit or miss. Though this is [probably] obvious and expensive, have you tried Compaq/HP?

Sorry about the thread hijack Paddy! I intended to communicate this through PM or email, but Mcollector has both set to disabled.

To Mcollector:
I noticed your sig. If you have a problem with my moderation please contact the board administrator (sasq) or post in this nice forum we have for the very purpose.

[Paddy]

No problem Frank. It's been a while!

Cheers Mcollector, I haven't contacted HP/Compaq as I imagine that the redundant power modules retial for a fair bit.

yeah, according to the pdfs, the spares number is 328842-001

[Kruzin]

That item is listed within the link I gave above for only $10 each

[agallag]

That's better than you can do straight from HP:

"Part is not orderable in the HP Parts Store."

[Paddy]

cheers lads.

Yeah they have the module for 10usd each which is fine, but they want an extra 60usd for shipping

I was going to laugh at that because Texas is soooooo BIG.
But it turns out not to be too bad an idea if I recall where Chuck lives in Texas correctly.


Which I didn't.
It's 150 miles each way.
I'm nearly that close to their store and I don't even live in Texas.

lol - Don't fret guys. I am sure they will come up on ebay

[Paddy]

I've found a place in Rothley, Leicester that sells them. If I can negotiate £10 for the pair then as long as the shipping isn't excessive then thats going to be my best option.

On ebay they want £31 for the pair including shipping.
