I was mildly surprised to see that the FAS 6070 came with 7.2RC1 pre-installed (on the disk shelf i.e.)

The system kinda powers up rather fast and abruptly - whereas the 900 series had a smoother revs.  Watch out!

All the errors and warnings are because the system is not connected to anything - just a head (part of a cluster) and a lonely shelf
