It's a lab unit, but intended for production. Something is sadly, quite wrong with it.

Worst case scenario, we buy another one. But that would be sad.

So uh, turns out that of the massive stack of servers, the one with the black front is not also the one with the black chassis. One of the simplest mistakes one could make, plugged all the inputs and outputs into the wrong IO. Server is running fine now, thanks guys!

This is where front and rear labeling become critical.

LOL. Black front is a Proliant. The black back must have been the Integrity?

@scottalanmiller I believe so. @psx_defector The bit about holding the insert button to reset the config actually just came in handy. I encountered an error with the OpenSuse installation the first time around.

Another machine that @DustinB3403 ended up with!
