Model 500 questions & limitations

["DAVID BULOG" <d2ba@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Q1:Thanks to all who replied to my other questions on whether the model 500
#2140 will accept the NT card.Does anyone have a part #?

Q2:The model 500 #2140 Im buying has got 128meg ram, 18 gig HD, 2167
ethernet card, V3R7.It will replace my trusty old E20 for home use.
A search of the archives of the 500 turned up:
Q3:My questions are how does the system enforces you to have a valid license
? assuming that -can I turn the beast into a killer NT Server by buying the
NT card and using only NT Server for the OS?

Q4:Why would the  Model 500 puts out too much heat for home use when a
search of the IBM sales manual says it only uses a 400w power supply and it
is not much larger in size than my current E20?

Q5:How do I get hold of an instalation guide--A seach of IBMs books online
found nothing--If it was only a CD rom release has anyone got any part
numbers I can try chase up?

Thanks in Advance Dave
