I am setting up a G3B&W/400 to run as a server in my small retail business. I want to upgrade the processor to a G4/450. I know that I need to (1) run the G4 Enabler patch (2) change the processor and change the processor jumper settings (3) install cache control software.
The final configuration of the system would be as follows: OWC Mercury G4/450 - 1024 MB RAM - Phillips CD-R/W-DVD drive - Zip 100 drive - Internal IDE Bus: Master: Original 12 GB drive with 2 partitions: OS 9.2.2 and OSX 10.3.2, and as Slave: 60 GB Hitachi/IBM ATA drive for backups - PCI Slot 1: ATA Rage 128 video card with DVD Decoder - PCI Slot 2: Apple 4 port 100baseT PCI Card - PCI Slot 3: 4 port USB 2 card - PCI Slot 4: Sonnet Tempo Ultra ATA/133 Hardware RAID using two 60GB Hitachi/IBM ATA drives, mirrored. The RAID drive will run OS 10.2.8 Server.
I will be adding a drive cooling fan to each of the 60GB drives. The system will be accessed by three other Macs running OS 9.1 through 10.3. There will also be a Laser Printer involved.
I am a total newbie at RAID setups and right now I don't know a thing about OS 10.2 Server. However, both appear to be doable. I have not been able to find anything on XLR8's web site, or elsewhere about any potential problems with processor upgrades and Server software. Or, for that matter, about RAID setups and processor upgrades.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on the above configuration?
