These are things I didn't really know about, and will use in the future. Thanks a lot, everybody. I finally got these rolling by booting to interactive mode and loading the fpgas, though the chassis didn't recognize i-mode the first time around on one of the cards. I'm learning that persistence is as important as know-how, in some cases.
But the info I've received in the past day has really made me more confident I can address the issue better in the future. Thanks again, everyone. . . . Chuck.
