Charles,
you're right, my mistake. Front cover missing, but checking the labels on
the Proliant I see COMPAQ. This unit is probably from 1997 but still
running nicely in a test environment.

Label front:
PL 1600 6/450 512 64 M1 A/P
COMPAQ SERIAL NUMBER: ... ...

Label back:
Compaq Computer Corporation
Series 4070
