Additional suggestion: unplug, *THEN* push the start button and hold it in
for at least 8 sec. One thing I notice when I start that is that the LED
on the NIC lights, then goes out. That way, you've completely discharged
everything.

Got that from an FE a couple years ago.... and I've opened the case and
replaced stuff on an HBS (technical term, Honkin' Big Server), worth
$20K++, with .25TB of RAM (and my mind still SEGV's every time I say
that).
