old hardware often doesn't survive moves, or even power/thermal cycles (powering off long enough to get cold, then back on).
I know, and I'm afraid of that. Still, the googling I did seems to suggest that there are issues with the idiot diagnostic panel that pulls out - the power button's on it, but pulled out, shows diagnostics. I've tried pushing the "remind" button, that tells it "yeah, I know there's an error, boot anyway", and I've tried pushing the tiny, tiny thing that I think sends the system an NMI. No joy.
does that server have an IPMI/BMC or some other sort of lights off management? can you raise that, or was it never configured ?
That's what I was saying - I tried connecting to it from another server in the rack, and it's supposed to show a web page, but I can't ping it, and firefox times out trying to connect to the default IP of 192.168.70.125.
