Is there a way to figure out what the motherboard is, in an NT server, without either opening up the box or rebooting? I have an IDE tape drive that I want to put in a server in a remote office, and I can't tell if it has IDE in it or not. Don't want to go down there and open it up and find out it can't take it. I figured if I could look up the M/B, I could find out what my options are. Any way to do that?

look for the paper trail from when the NT server was put in. if you don't have that then try SANDRA - look at download.com - you will have to isntall the program and go from there. but it may just be as easy as wait for late at night and take it down for a few minutes to see what's inside.

If the machine was not home grown, you should be able to look at the manufacturer's support site and look up the model/serial number to find out how it was configured.

If your "NT" system is 5 or higher, try using SiSoftware http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/ SANDRA.
