1681.0. "DEFEA in Compaq Proliant 2000" by OSL08::JONB (Jon Bj�rnland) Wed May 10 1995 11:27

Has anyone installed our EISA FDDI Controller (DEFEA) in a Compaq Proliant 2000
Pentium server ?

Compaq says they have experienced problems with FDDI controllers from different
vendors in this server. They have to decrease clock-speed on their processor to
make the FDDI controllers work. Compaq has no experience with the DEFEA though.

    Not true.  In fact, COMPAQ has been actively evaluating the DEFEA for
    quite some time now.  We also have numerous customer installations that
    use COMPAQ systems and Digital FDDI EISA adapters.  Novell and
    Microsoft to name two.  As far as I know, no decreasing of clock-speed
    has been necessary.
