tape01 – old server; new purpose

This is tape01, the server to which the DELL TL4000 will be attached. At one time, it was my gateway/firewall/router.

Of interest is the SAS card. You can see photos here.

I may have to get a new battery. However, given this card will not be used for HDD, only tape. how much value is there in the battery?

The server is now on FreeBSD 9.3, and I will upgrading it to 10.2 soon.
