Only 2 of them? Hmm...
Bonus points for the Scale swag in the background, lol.

That swag has been there since SpiceWorld.

When do the rest of us get to play with it?
Definitely not for a week or two. Right now this is a hardware test in the NTG Offices in NY. It's not really for public consumption yet. I'm working with @Minion-Queen to look at the move to the enterprise colocation facility so that there can be more access to it in the near future.

Turns out the boxes were only the switches and cables. The main boxes are supposed to ship tomorrow so a couple of business days yet before things will be arriving.
-
The Scale cluster just arrived.

Rails... -
Well, there are the actual rails... -
Rails are a good start.
-
Cords, faceplate, and a screwdriver... and instructional things to ignore. -
And, there's the 1U node. 1 of 3 total! -
Lookin' at the guts... -
Various close-ups, for those interested. -
Some front / back views... -
What are the system specs, BIOS version, Mainboard model.
I need to research some details on any potential bugs in the firmware to assist in troubleshooting the system.
-
Rails up close, and finally, in the rack! -
Nice.
-
When can we play?

Oooh shiny. Are those Dell servers under the hood?
