THANKS! I did open and examine (without touching any components! I knew
that much...) the system before powering it up. Based on the
chart/link, I think I may not have reseated everything right (at least
I hope I didn't ;^), so I'll try that first, then press on the *non*
CPU heatsink, then try swapping IP30 MBs with my single CPU Octane.

Thanks everyone!
