Supermicro Server (Tech Tinker) #1

WARNING: There are a few seconds of blank at the start of the edit, because yes, I'm starting to play about with editing my videos some... But I got this one wrong and didn't notice until the render had been completed.

So, this project is a Supermicro 826-9 dual Xeon E5 2620 32GB DDR3 equipped server, this is actually a jbod configuration and I've had a few issues with getting it off of the network settings, where it shares the disks directly to the rear I/O (fiber channel) connector.

I plan to upgrade this server, sort out the networking to it and it become my main, file server and virtual machine host.

But, first I have to sort out an installation of some distro. Therefore we find my using Ubuntu Server 18.04.3, from USB to an SSD as a test precursor to the full install, which will be on an internally mounted SSD.

It's a spacious machine, but dominated by the back plane and disks at the front.

Appreciate your help in advance
