HP Microserver key .. I've lost mine :(


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Is there anyone in the UK who'd be willing to get a copy of their HP Proliant Microserver key sent out to me?

 

I really hope my son hasn't followed my footsteps and swallowed something shiny :C

According to their website on tools required to change the Hard Drive it's a Torx-10 or Torx-15 head you need. I recommend buying a Torx set as they are very useful and like 10 bucks at a hardware store.

I think it's just a torx head.

 

ah the torx key; you can go to any warehouse and get a torx key (it's a dual head, 10 and 15 i guess).

 

edit: astropheed bet me!

Doesn't look like a torx to me


Are you talking about the key that unlocks the door on the front of the server?

Yep, that lock


what key are you talking about? the SN key on the server?

The front door panel lock

ah the front lock key; since those keys are standard, if you don't have a mailbox key or another server to "borrow" and open it, i sugest you take your server into a locksmith so he can sell you a new set (those are pretty cheap).

That's all fine ... except the server's a PBX :/

So? Can't you take the server after the office is closed into a locksmith? They work 24h, you know right? At least in here they do lol

 

but if time is a matter then a drill can fix it, although it will: a) void the warranty and b) can really screw your server if not done right; also that should be done with the server turned off so the first option is still better (taking into a locksmith).

shamilbear, Not sure if all the keys are the same... but pm me an address I'll send you one of mine if you want. Dunno how long Royal Fail will take to deliver though.

I disabled the lock cos I don't need it.

I lost mine also! I "borrowed" one from a mate of mine. I tried to copy it at the local locksmith but they couldn't do it as the key too small.

 

Its a Southco W-23 if you wanna look out for one.

Ah bummer man, I thought I lost my NL36 and almost drilled the lock out about six months ago after HP support was next to useless...fortunately just before hand I remembered thinking why would I even separate the key this front door isn't keeping anybody out and sure enough key was taped to the bottom back corner of the server :)

I couldn't find one in the UK and the locksmith didn't have a reference design :/

I think the one I get will be stuck with a tape to it, in future.

Went to the locksmith today, closed before I got there. Apparently they all close before half 8 :/
