There weren't any particularly noteworthy things about the hardware build. The initial BIOS boot was weird - the machine ran at full power for a short period then powered off multiple times before finally giving a single system beep and loading the BIOS. I expect it was memory checking or some such.
==BIOS and OS==
The machine boots to BIOS. There are some things to check:
*We will do RAID 5 array in software, rather using X99 through the BIOS.
*The m.2 drive will be used as a cache for the RAID 5 array, using bcache
==Software==
Install Ubuntu 18.04 (note that the original DiGIT DevBox ran 14.04)
