The unit does have the deathly red led on the front and the normal dialogs for install seem to appear. However there is no way to format a new disk in the machine. Anything I do gets rejected over and over and I get a popup message that claims the disk is corrupt. Not a very helpful message for the guided full UFS install. Dennis
