* Each borg node has a dual powersupply, if all 8 PSU's are connected it may trip the breaker in the supply to the rack - if this happens the ups will start to beep. Switch the breaker back on if this happens!
* You can get away with only connecting one psu on each machine.
* The lights on borg should be FLASHING green. A slow flash on the power buttons. DO NOT press any of these buttons. All the machines need to be brought up via the RAS

Borg now has a static ip and gets username and password info from LDAP. It also mounts home directorys from colin. All hackspace members can sudo on Borg. You should have access to all the CPUs and memory in all 4 borg machines.
Borg 5 usually has an IP address assigned to it dynamically which is annoying. You can find out this IP address by pulling out the screen terminal keyboard thing on the rack, selecting the screen for Borg, and logging in with the hackspace default root password. Once you have the IP, you can login with SSH remotely. You should have access to all the CPUs and memory in all 4 borg machines.
