It's an API UP2000..  SRM says its a 264DP, and FreeBSD says it has
a ST6600 machine type.

What's really annoying is that it is the very bottom-most machine in a
stack..  so going inside to wiggle dimms etc is not a trivial task.

It has got Very Big Fans.  (either 3U or 4U high, I dont remember which).

Cheers,
