This is still in progress; I have the machine next to me now and
I should be able to set it up and get it back online this week
if there are no issues. I just haven't found the time to finish.

It's a T5-2 with 512GB memory and a handful of NVMe disks.
Details will be passed around once configured, and there should
be capacity to adjust once I have a better idea of usage.
