2U Athlon

This is a 2U server, again from ITS. We have two of these sitting on the shelves. The key opens with the other key on the small ring, sitting by the computer in the exterior shot.

=Exterior= The case has a locking front panel, which opens to reveal 6 hot-swappable HD bays and dual power supplies. To get the drive bay out, push down on the end of the purple thing, then you can pull it out and remove it.One of them was missing its case screws for the top panel, not a big deal.

=Interior= Inside, it's a typical 2U server- lots of fans, a processor, etc. These have an ATI graphics card (in an agp slot), and below that is a hard drive controller which controls the 6 hot-swappable hard drives. There are two IDE connectors on the motherboard, one is hooked up to the cdrom drive.

=Bootup= There are two servers. When I first booted it, it made a very annoying beeping sound. Turns out that it expects both of the PSU's to be plugged in, otherwise it gives you this nasty warning beep. There is a BIOS password on them, and I haven't looked up the reset procedure for this motherboard yet.

The drive controller is a 3ware Escalade 7810.

=Differences= There are two of these servers. One (the first) was the one I initially looked at- it is missing its case lid screws, and the rack mount stuff is about 1/5 of the way back. The second one actually has screws in it, and the rack mount point is at the very front. The second one has an Intel dual (apparently 100mbit) ethernet card in it- maybe the integrated ethernet is broken? Both of them have BIOS password that I don't know and haven't reset.
