So I’m loading up an IBM rack server today with Windows Server 2003 x64. After installing Service Pack 2 and rebooting, I’m greeted with a few hardware installation wizards. One of them was quite interesting, have a look below.
What in the world is an “IBM Dummy Device”? I tried a quick Google search and nothing useful turned up. The system seems to work fine, but it just looked kind of funny so I figured I would share the laugh.
Its probably a place holder device, for an unused slot, like a redundant power supply, drive bay or CPU socket…
