Chris Dagdigian,

Read your warning tonight on bioinformatics.org, but unfortunately to late.
We have these lemons and they have been trouble.  Loaded a fix 5.2.8 on them
and they worked for about 17 days and then they all 6 crashed.  Separated
them from a stack and couldn't ping between two pc's on any of the stacks.
Can you shed any other light on this?  Have the 3248's still been working
okay?  Maybe I'll ask Dell for an exchange.

Thanks for any help or info you can give.
