====== trial{001..200} ======
===== Summary =====
These are the new [[services:teuthology]] testnodes originally intended to replace the [[hardware:smithi]] machines.  They were purchased by IBM in 2025.  Originally, over 300 were planned but due to budget constraints, the number was reduced to 200 and we kept the smithi machines to supplement.

===== KVM access =====

These systems are fairly-dense blades, so the back panel does not have dedicated VGA/HDMI/USB connectors.  There is a custom wide connector for a 'dongle' breakout cable that was supplied with the chassis that connects to that wide connector on the blade and breaks it out to VGA, serial, and two USB 2.0 ports.  There is a set of those in the Poughkeepsie lab; the lab staff should be able to find them.  As of Feb2026 they were "In the crib in Rolling Bin 3 Shelf 3A3. Theres a white paper taped to the shelf that says CEPH 3A4-3A1"
