Some of you have overwhelmingly responded back to me regarding the server w/ disk array.

To answer everyone's question, yes, the server is functioning.  There are TWO (2) 256 MB ECC SDRAM sticks in the unit, but only ONE works.  I do NOT have replacement RAM, so the unit is being sold with 256 MB of RAM.  Sorry.  :(

I am attaching TWO (2) photos of the server being offered for sale.  One shows the memory, unit's tag identifier, and how much memory it recognizes.  On the front, there are TWO (2) 18 GB hard disk drives for the server, with TWO (2) slots open or available.  I *DO* have the trays for the drives in the slots, rather than filler plates.

Aside for the minor issue with the memory, EVERYTHING works.

One thing asked that I forgot to mention was the rail kits.  Yes, there are rail kits for BOTH the server *AND* the disk array.

The disk array ALSO works, but will need to be reconfigured.  The drives and its configuration were "lobotomized" before leaving their location.

To answer the last question, yes, this unit will run Linux.  I had tested Red Hat Enterprise Linux v3 on it.  No problem.  I have NOT tested any newer releases of Linux.

Photos are now attached.
