You may have me there. It was a couple of years ago when I was
confronted
with a stack of E420r's and tasked to "evaluate" them. Some parts were
exchanged
to beef up a couple of boxes intended for some project and some part
swaps
resulted in 1 dead machine as I recall.
Perhaps it was already dead!
These part swaps were both memory and CPUs. There were no
torque wrenches about... Point is these machines seem to be delicate
and
require more than the usual care : / Sorry for the FUD!
