This server powers up and posts (per the front end digital display). I believe this server contains software, however, As of yet, I have not gotten external video output and keyboard/mouse control. The server has booted to "Standby" but because I have no video and user control, I have not been able to shut it down normally. On the next boot the server goes into "Rebuild" mode. Again, if I had user control I could have shut the server down properly. The main problem is, so far I have no familiarity with this kind of equipment.

This is a hugely interesting piece computer history but my interest is mainly in repairing, servicing and refurbishing modern computers. However, I have figured out how to remove panels and components to see what's inside server. Now I'm getting excited about learning more. I know how to figure things out. If I can't sell this beast quickly, I will keep it and get it up and fully functioning. Unlike someone in this country, I have curiosity..

This IBM server is large and very heavy (I am guessing it weighs at least 180lbs. You will see in the photos that I have it on a furniture dolly so I can move it around). The dimensions are approximately 28" long x 14" wide x 23" high.

Conditions of Sale: Cash only, local pick up. No holds, First come First served. No guarantees, no returns, sale is final.
