I bought 5 net6501-70 servers
They were mostly flawless for that time, but over the last few months 3
of them have died with the red error light and no BIOS post information.
> I have OpenBSD on a net6501 which was working fine, however after the

> rapidly blinks all the eth0-eth3 lights.
> I just had a net6501 die on me the past weekend, purchased in 2012.
> I had the exact same symptoms on several of mine. After trying new
> power supplies, which didn’t help, I sent them back and they were
> diagnosed as unrepairable.
> Lost one a couple of weeks ago.
> Three years or so of service sounds about right.
