Figured I couldn’t do any worse by installing the SCSI devices I got from eBay into the mail server at a mid-peak time … They had been sitting here since Monday and there was the power outage so I figured I would get them into the machine so work could begin transferring all the mail server data to it … The IDE will remain in the machine to serve as a backup/spare for the mail server’s files … While I went into it blindly not knowing whether there was anything on the drive, it all worked out … Worse case scenario would be that I would have booted into something I would or wouldn’t be familiar … Maybe even have gotten some free software? But that wasn’t the case … the mail server booted from the IDE and now PHPSysInfo displays the drive as being installed, just nothing on it yet …

Power Outage
Had a 45 minute power outage from about 7 to 7:45pm … If anyone knows an economical way to keep about 30-40 computers, 4 Cisco devices, 3 KVMs and maybe a couple monitors running from a battery backup for an hour or two, please let me know … Otherwise, I guess I have to grin and bear these outages as I have no control over them … At least this time there were no casualties … well, none so far …
