Re: Flashing power Light on P8 System Turned Off

I guess that depends on your definition of viable.
Will it compute x times y? Yes.
Will it run current versions of the operating system which passes audits?
No.

Haha... no thanks. This P8 is big enough! I have a feeling the SS HDs
don't have magnets, though, like the older ones. The only thing I've
collected from them.

I'm sure it will sit in the office for a couple years before I figure out
what to do with it. It's a shame. It's still so viable.

It may be turned on from time to time as I'm sure there's some stuff I
forgot on it. :) But it's such a waste... that machine is still 100%
viable.

Yep that is normal.

Means the system is down but ready to IPL.

Pull the power cord and the heart beat will fade away

I shut down my P8 system since I've transitioned to a new cloud

system.

Yes, my office is too quiet now.. hah!

I don't recall before the power light flashing green about 2x a

second

constantly.. Is that normal? Any way to have it just shut off or do

I

just have to kill power to it?

Thanks!
