I purchased a used server from ebay for about 123 dollars and i am having a tremendous amount of difficulty in loading an OS unto the hard drive.
It's a SuperServer 6015B-Ni / 6015B-NiB with about 16gb ram and twin Intel Xeon quad core processors. It has a 160 gb hdd and is of the self contained blade type!
I have checked out the hardware and it checks out fine but every method i have used to load up a Windows installation has failed.
-USB thumbdrive
-PXE
-Hooking up a dvd drive through the internal cabling
-Hooking up an external floppy drive to load the installation from DOS prompt
As i said nothing is working, i am under the impression that this server is a lemon.
