I'm still thinking that this is some way to initiate a hardware-level reset in software (via a command to a USB device, it's pulling that 'reset +' voltage down to chassis ground, which the little PCB already has due to the USB header connection)? There doesn't seem to be any visible chip or logic on the little board, although I didn't take it off of the foam it is stuck to the chassis with (might have something on the underside). To log in to the Barracuda Message Archiver, Enter the Barracuda Message Archiver IP address in a browser, and click Return. There isn't anything attached to the reset '- / ground' pin though. This little board appears to have one pin hooked up to the reset-switch header on the motherboard, but it's attached to the reset '+' line. For complete deployment details, select appropriate deployment based on your Exchange Server environment. It doesn't seem to register as any sort of USB device in the BIOS though (during POST, it says 'zero devices found). You can set up the Barracuda Message Archiver to stub message attachments to reduce mailbox size prior to the Exchange Server migration, or to import all historic email content present on the Exchange Server prior to migration. Interestingly, there is a small PCB (about the size of a silver dollar) that is plugged into one of the USB ports.

Thankfully, since I know the password, it's not the end of the world, but I'd rather just have it gone. Was able to get into the bios with password 'bcndk1' (all lowercase).Ĭan do whatever I want in the BIOS, including blank the password.Īfter a few reboots though, the password magically comes back.Įven more strange - this behavior persists even after I updated the BIOS with the latest official ASUS BIOS.Īny thoughts on how the hell they 'backdoored' this thing to always add a BIOS password? But it has 8x3TB disk and a hardware RAID card in it, so I can put together a decent sized datastore on there (I want to run a demo VM from Rubrik here, so I need mass storage as a backup target). It's out of warranty from Barracuda and we're not using it for its original purpose anymore anyway. According to AWS, S3 Glacier storage classes provide virtually unlimited scalability and are designed for 99.999999999 (11 nines) of data durability, and they provide fast.

I want to repurpose it as a test VM server temporarily. The Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes are purpose-built for data archiving, providing a low cost archive storage in the cloud.

Starting from the work in this old-ass thread.īoard on this thing is an Asus KCMA-D8, it has a pair of Opteron 4280s and 64GB of ECC DDR3.
