My chassis arrived yesterday, very well packed/shipped. Had a few rattling arnd screws from what I think were the pci brackets/screws. Could not get one of the minisas cables removed (had planned to use my own) even w/ a precision small flat screwdriver like I have had to do on my old HP microserver from years ago. Just left it on. Mounted up my last X9SCM mobo, proc, mem, cards, slipped in a drive in slot one that I had forgot I had layed down RHEL6 on via a network kickstart install a few weeks back and didn't even have a monitor hooked up at this point or IPMI configured for console access, 5 mins later I hook up a monitor and shabam, she's cleanly booted at a RHEL6 headless login prompt, no issues at all. Setup a vSphere autodeploy config and host profile for it and she's now booted to a stateless ESXi host running 10 or so VM's (including the VDI VM delivered via Horizon 6 that I am typing this session on).
One thing I can't figure out is the little power converter module (SM part number tb826), The system powers on auto when I plug pwr cord and resets off quick paperclip press and even shuts off w/ a pwr buttoin longer hold but hell if I can make it power back on via a short/quick pwr button press on the front. To get it back on I have to pull pwr plug, wait 10 secs, plug back in and it comes up. It even reboots gracefully from RHEL6/ESXi so color me perplexed...do I have this thing flip flopped or turned around the wrong way?...seems like I have slim to no lights on that left panel spot where the pwr module/reset buttons are either, sas trays/lights are working fine.
I'll post pics here in a bit.
Thoughts?
