It’s a 19″ server from Supermicro; Dominik would’ve to provide details.

Oh well… apparently, the firmware setup screens don’t signal the
watchdog either, so you can’t use that one for five minutes while
the watchdog is enabled. This all points to buggy firmware. Again,
details would have to come from Nik.
