Oh, that's *bad*. We had a server like that, a Dell (fortunately): three
replacement m/b's (one was DoA), and we *still* couldn't get it to boot,
so they offered us a newer server as a replacement (all within two weeks,
and that *includes* the three days that FE's showed - that's why I'm glad
it was Dell).
