I was worried about that potential, so I moved the motherboard back to the
original case. Hooked up the power supply and switch and still did not boot.
I added back the fans and found that it will only boot if 1 fan in each bank
is connected (There are a total of 5 fans, 2 for each CPU and on for o
Reconnected to the original power supply with the same results -- the system
will not boot. Found out it is a failsafe for the fans not being connected.

I ran a dual Xeon 3.06 setup for five years. I still have it but
don't use it. Just so you know, the CPUs run HOT and suck down
electricity like a wall heater, in fact you could use that box to
heat up a room in the winter.

James,
I understand the pain with your Edge. And, why I keep using my old
"cwong-certified" server. It is old. It is reliable. It works 24/7.
Yes, it seems that most modern servers have lots of "perimeter" controls
as well as major cpu cooling protection logic. Good luck.
Best,
Duncan
