Turns out that although the 12vdc of the 4 pin Molex isn't common with the 12vdc of the PCI-E-6, it is necessary to run the front fans.

Still getting a lot of errors tho:

Okay all up and running.  Somehow the password was missing a digit and that probably explains why there was no indication of testing on Slush.  So, the IP address wasn't showing up on linux arp -a so I went to my router and checked the DHCP table and there it was.

So, changed the password and restarted.

getting 10 HW errors in a row after about 8 accepted, repeatedly, sometimes only one or two accepted before a 10 HW error notation.

Wow, my PCI-E-4 lead must be wrong.  The PCI-e 4 lead has yellow to the clip side while a PCI-E-6 video card testing cable has ground to clip side.  I just tested ground between the center two pins of the Molex 4 pin connector and the PCI-E-6 and found the ground on the clip side of the PCI-E-6 as found on the video card test cable.  Good thing I checked.  Also, the 12v of the Molex 4 is not common with the 12v of the PCI-E-6.

Some of that plastic wrap coating for the aluminum would protect from scratches in assembly.

Mercury so only one PCIE-6 plug protruding.

T-20 torx was noted as the screw size and is so.

Box has arrived undamaged.  Loud sound of plastic falling about inside.

The problem is that DHL won't deliver to my US Post Office Box.  I don't take deliveries at my home unless there is absolutely no alternative.  When I gave in and said okay and said deliver it to my home I couldn't get a reasonable window on when to expect delivery; I need to be here available from early morning to 8PM tomorrow night and I had tentative plans to be somewhere else.  Add to that the annoyance that the gate is 500' away and stays closed except when I'm passing thru it...it's just not a good delivery arrangement.  Some upgrade, I wasn't consulted except for the original shipping spec and I said UPS and for this reason.  So, the chickens will be cooped up until after delivery and the gate will be left open.  Foxes too but after asking a kid next door to cool it flying by the chicken coop in his ATV, my chickens started getting killed.  I thought it was the fox I was seeing on my trailcams until I heard a commotion right out front and there was the neighbor's beagle laying waste to my flock.  I put up the fence.  Over 3 acres fenced.  Haven't lost any more chickens.

Further Detail:
Shipment has been given a release by Customs.
   Next Step:
Unless there is an adhoc exam or a stop by another regulatory authority the shipment will proceed to delivery
   
(ad hoc exam: we don't need no stinkin badges...)

Mid-west Georgia, sometime tomorrow between I think they said 8AM but I am sure they said the late limit is 8PM.  Couldn't give me a tighter window and I had something I was thinking of going to tomorrow.

..didn't know that.

Did they change from UTC to EDT on the fly?

Anyway, was this an engineering decision, packaging fails so change the shipper?

What version firmware did it arrive with?

If the US waged WWII the way we operate today, we'd have lost.

Wow, does DHL draw a vacuum.  They won't deliver to a US Post Office.  If I want to pick it up at a DHL office they only offer Atlanta, and I'm halfway between Atlanta and Columbus and a good deal west.  So, that's out.  I gave them my home address but my property is always gates closed and my home is 2½ acres distant from the drive gate.  If I leave the gate open, a neighbor's dog kills my chickens.  These are free ranging chickens and don't get cooped up all day unless I have to spend the night away.  I asked for a time to expect delivery and was told anytime between 8AM and 8PM.  I'd say call my cell but my cell doesn't get any reception here.  If the weather's nice I'll be out in the yard and won't hear the home phone.  Had a problem with DHL once before.  They tried to deliver a radio.  It had arrived at the Columbus office.  Found a note saying they had been here 3 times and were returning it.  They lied.  Driver just didn't want to make the trip again.  No fence in those days.  No excuse, just lazy, lying DHL driver back then.

Just to be sure I check my post office twice today as mine is being shipped to a PO Box.  Just before closing I asked at the counter and found DHL doesn't have a contract with USPS anymore and won't deliver to PO Boxes.  Must find what office it will be going to.

Anyway, I thought DHL was posting time relative to me but no, it's in UTC so apparently the Mercury just left Brussels a little while ago.  It had been at Brussels 23 hours 55 minutes.

Okay, that's suppose to be best.  Glad they're putting 1's in Merc's.

My Mercury is, according to DHL, in Brussels since 1:44AM, processed in Brussels at 11:15AM.  Calling I found I can expect delivery tomorrow by end of the business day.

There was mention of grading numbers but I was unsure if it had to do with the power modules or the ASIC modules.  Has yours one of those stickers having a number 1 to 4?

Sounds great.  Are the devices on the ethernet swtich on the same network as the laptop's wireless?

Or different networks and the laptop routing data from the one network to the other?  And if this latter, does it take any software not typically found on WinXP?
