Short update from today's datacenter visit:

Are there different options on what kind of blades can be used with our server chassis, and what are the costs?
We actually do have 2 empty motherboards in the chassis.

Blade-b is totally broken. If I attach USB devices it just signals a different post error.

I couldn't exchange blade-b with a spare blade because I couldn't remove blade-b from the chassis to exchange the CPU and memory.

To exchange the two blades I have to remove the box from the rack (or at least uncable it).

This is planned for this saturday, sadly I don't have time earlier.

This will include a full powerdown of all maemo servers for about 30 minutes to finish work.

Best,

Falk
