I plan to use Dell rack mount servers within the next six months. I've had problems with APIC code even on single processor systems as far back as 2.4.10, where it would prevent a complete power off. It seems that either there are still serious problems with the APIC code or something is not right with the hardware implementation. -- Best Regards, Keith LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Life's the same, except for my shoes Got spam?
