It's an HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen7 N40L. It's not exactly fast, but it has 4 3.5" drive bays and is compact, so I've been using it for years as my local file and backup server. It was running Debian Linux until a few weeks ago when I switched it over to OpenBSD 7.8. https://community.hpe.com/hpeb/attachments/hpeb/bsc-431/20886/1/QuickSpecs.pdf Between my digging around online and physically examining the motherboard, there does not appear to be a serial port header. It's a small board, so not entirely surprising. -- Stuart A. McKim, P.E. Idaho Falls, ID
