It's Alive!!!

The hoops have been jumped through, albeit on a temporary basis, and the computer shows signs of life, an error free POST log (except for a missing boot drive) and the alternate CPU is happily married to the server board.

When power is turned on, POST (Power-On Self-Test) is the diagnostic testing sequence that a computer's basic input/output system (or "starting program") runs to determine if the computer keyboard, random access memory, disk drives, and other hardware are working correctly. In the case of Dell and similar proprietary systems from Lenovo and HP etc, the POST also checks for various unique sensors and gizmos that should be present. The additional wiring items I bought serve to provide that information to the system, although I aim to circumvent one or two during this build.
