[MAINT] Server Maintenance Complete

Hi,

The server work has been completed.  Total downtime was about an hour;
part of that was due to the fan being the wrong model (damn Microcenter
for telling me wrong).  However, once I got the system open I was able
to get the old fan up and running again and the vibration noise is gone.
I was also successful in installing the new SATA card for future
expansion next year.

All GnuCash services should be running normally.  Please let me know if
you notice anything not working.

Thanks!
