We at the Sprawl Library have recently acquired a Unisys ES7000 system from the lovely state in which we live. It came without hard drives of any kind, nor was there any documentation included. Otherwise the system is comprised of what appears to be an 8 node, 2 domain system with 2 cabinets. The main cabinet contains the nodes, and the PCI cages (which are on the bottom of the cabinet). The other cabinet contains 6 I/O "nodes" which have space for hard disks (SCA) and a DVD drive. We think it's a 1xx or 2xx system, but there aren't exactly a lot of parts labels on it, and as I said we're missing pretty much any documentation. We think we have all of the cables though to get it up and running, or at least all of the cables which were involved in its operation.
Does anyone have any experience with these systems, or a pointer to some documentation? Doing basic interweb searching only pulls up some press releases and the scant information that Wikipedia has on the units. We believe this to be a Xeon based system, but we haven't really dug into it beyond looking at the outside at this point. Any pointers to documentation, or experienced administrators of the system who are willing to talk about how to get it up and running are greatly appreciated. These seem to be pretty rare beasts, and we'd like to at least get to the point of powering it on at some point, to try and get it running. Thanks!
