I now have four of them, no eth access to any. Should I be able to NetInstall even with no eth lights? All of these configured initially and I had working links in the shop. All of them lasted a day or two after initial config before failing in one way or another---two of them responded to a reset once and were reconfigured and worked, but the following day had no eth connectivity again. At this point, I have one with no lights at all on application of PoE, one that lights very briefly and extinguishes, one one which LED1 flashes about once per second, and one that flashes at about ten times faster than that. I have tried to push all of these into NetInstall mode now by holding down the reset button as long as I can stand after application of PoE. None of them appears as a drive in the PC NetInstall window, though my Lenovo Recovery partition does. Again, no eth connectivity--would this appear to be the case if any of these were in the mode where they are looking for a NetInstall server? I don't have any experience with NetInstall without serial connectivity... BTW, I did not do an update on any of these before they failed; I think they were running, like 5.12. I don't see any posts anywhere about dead eth ports on the Metals, so I'm wondering what the heck is going on.
