Hi Gang,
Brian, Scott Sanders and I set up two of the 345s last night and then racked them up in the colo. We kept an inventory of the two machines we unpacked that I'll attach below. It's probably safe to assume that the other two machines also have identical configurations.
Both machines are running sshd and allow remote root over ssh. Accounts will need to be setup on both machines. Call me for the passwords.
Machines: 1) "brutus.apache.org" - The Gump Machine Debian something, stock everything, minimal install. Kernel doesn't recognise SMP, kernel doesn't recognise >860G of RAM. Other than that, everything seemed to be detected ok. I believe console redirection is enabled on this machine. Also, we're able to boot without a keyboard, and then plug in a keyboard after boot and still have it work.
The built-in LSI RAID module didn't appear to support striping, so we opted to leave the drives separate. The Gump people may wish to stripe the two drives in this machine for better disk I/O without the loss of available space (in software, or maybe in hardware if the LSI turns out to support striping (RAID0)).
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 7.9G 147M 7.4G 2% / /dev/sda6 26G 34M 25G 1% /home /dev/sdb6 34G 125M 32G 1% /usr
Basically the only thing running on here right now is sshd. We've created a root account and a "rubys" account. Sam, feel free to give me a call later to find out your password and the root password (my number is in members.txt).

Hosting/Colo Situation: Power: The socket we had installed at the Colo doesn't fit the plug on the power distributor. Brian wrote down the exact lables from the plug and the socket, so I don't have them here. I suppose we'll have to have UL change the socket to match our plug. Comments?
UPS: The on-loan and failing APC at the bottom of our rack is disconnected. The Belkin that Brian brought in is being used, but only the terminal server and hermes are using battery backup. Even though I brought in a power strip/surge protector, we're out of sockets again, but once we get the power distributor working we'll have plenty of sockets.
Switch: I believe we have two more open ports on the switch.
Rack space: UL gave us some shelves which we're using for the new IBM machines. We made some room for the next two once they're ready.
Terminal server: We made two more serial plugs for the two new machine, and plugged them into ports 3 and 4 (IIRC, and I don't know in which order). We didn't test these plugs, but we should be able to fire up getty on the serial ports and see if we get a prompt over the terminal server.
Inventory: Both machines were the same. Here's the specs on each:
1) 2x 2.8Ghz Xeon CPUs (with hyperthreading) 2) 2x PC2100 - 1GB DDR 266Mhz CL2.5 ECC RAM (2GB total) 3) 1x Power Supply Unit, Hot Swap (room for one more) 4) 2x 36.4GB 15kRPM U320 SCSI HotSwap Harddrives - CRU 32P0736 (room for 4 more drives)
Enjoy,
