After recovering form a snap1000 that was set to be a 2000. I learned everything (all updates) is based on the platformbytes. This is the info a OS upgrade looks at to know which MOAI file to use. In one of my documents they was a foot note refering to serial numbers and model numbers. Like the 4100 all seam to start with 500k, 2000v1 200k... I have seen the MAC and SN change with the platform bytes change.

But I learned it will not take a platformbyte that it does not reconises. Since the failsafe BIOS is missing, it leads me to think a Upgrade failed. It may require the bios to be reloaded using the factory software.

It would be interesting to know if the 4000 will setup and clean system.

Out of curisoity is the HD cables colored? and are the HD set to MS or CS?.

The 16999 SN make the units a problem 2000v1. Right of the top of my head I do not remember where the 4000 changed from MS to CS.

Is this a 1U or 2U unit?
