That&#8217;s an Apple flat panel display on top. The CD drive is tray loaded, so that&#8217;s why it is standing on its side. There are dual power supplies and cooling systems. (Danny noticed it is really noisy.) There are four hot-swappable hard disks. Ted was impressed this is a vintage 1999 machine. Merlin should be worth years more of service.<\/p>\n<div class=\"posted\">\n<p>Now playing: <strong>Big Generator<\/strong> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q='Yes'%20+%20'Big%20Generator'\">Yes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Notes from set up:<\/p>\n<p>Windows 2000 installed (started w\/ 4 boot floppies.)<\/p>\n<p>Did a quick format on the 4 x 8 gig drives.<\/p>\n<p>Used Disk Manager to Raid-5 last 3 drives to create a virtual 17.5 gig data partition.<\/p>\n<p>Domino 6.5 w\/ 6.5.1 upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>NAV 2000<\/p>\n<p>PC Anywhere 11<\/p>\n<p>Zone Alarm firewall<\/p>\n<p>Note: When upgrading Domino (6.5.1) all IBM Domino tasks have to be &#8220;relearned&#8221; by Zone Alarm because it spots the dates changing.<\/p>\n<p>Two nics are now x.10 and x.11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Merlin is a Domino server running at StudioPlex that routes e-mail and hosts a few website.
