Advance warning - servers will be down on Monday afternoon

[Piglet]

...for as long as it takes to upgrade and test:

• Memory
• GPU
• Network card(s)
• BIOS

I'm taking time off work to head in to the datacentre and sort a few things out.

Thanks for the warning, I already see myself going for the rare TAM experience.

Appreciate your effort there, thanks for keeping things running. (And making sure you can cure your thaw addiction)

New memory, GPU, NIC and BIOS installed.

It took a lot longer than expected to get everything configured and working.

Thanks to Holyspam supporting this. Great teamwork.

The DC is **NOISY** and cold.

Good job Pig & Holes, thanks.

A half day of annual leave taken.

Holyspam did all the brainwork. I just got the hardware in to the DC, did the BIOS updates and then stood around and pugged in the settings he wanted.

I didn't enjoy the moment Holyspam started converting the M.2 drive from legacy to UIFI and then sent me a message "well shit" and didn't reply to my "What?" for 2 minutes....
