On Thursday, October 17th during QOHN I investigated the possibility of using an unused 1U Hyve server and the 2U storage server that are sitting unused in the server room.

The 1U Hyve server throws POST errors that seem to show a BIOS issue. Need to investigate the possibility of flashing a new BIOS ROM onto the recovery EEPROM.

The 2U storage server seems the current easiest to implement solution if we need to rush a build. It needs HBAs and drives at the minimum.

Only concern is that this server is much too powerful to just use on a NAS; it is a dual CPU C216 chipset server with 128GB of RAM which gives it many more uses than just hosting an array or JBOD.
