    Powering HP ProLiant SL230/250s nodes as stand-alone

    If I recall correctly it takes long to post if it overheats or there are hundreds of gigs ram installed for first time. You can try reset the CMOS may be it help. But in general GPU should not disable ILO graphics, I had both. I can try to run my blade again in about 2 weeks.

    My understanding is Apple have dropped support for the trashcan/imac and macbooks with pre Haswell CPUs. You wont be able to use it natively with Ventura and even patchers might not help according to some reports.

    UK HP MicroServer G7 N54L / 4GB ( servero.co.uk ) £69

    I think it might be "not enough power" issue, try another molex connector from the PSU or replace the PSU, I recall something like this with LTO drives when they can't pull enough power from 12v. I think I just lucky with GREENs drives and low power SAS adapter.
