You should be able to get it to use a serial console. Having the key to

Do you have
the AIX for it and how much memory is on this box.
Uhm... I would assume that AIX is on it - though they do tend to 'wipe' all
boxes they put up for sale or trash... on the other hand, they might not
have done this one, or it might have simply been a moot point... until I can
get some sort of monitor hooked up to it, I don't really know. As for the RAM, there are two full memory cards in the
upper right side of
the machine... I'm kind of leary of removing anything until I know exactly
what I'm dealing with, so I don't really know how much memory each stick has
on it. Why do you ask?
Making sure the RAM hasn't been removed is important. The amount would
matter if you were going to try to move to recent versions of AIX.
You can remove it, and as long as you put back in the same order if you
have different sizes you should be OK.
