Brand New Hometroller PI - find.homeseer.com can't see it

Brand new Hometroller PI fresh out of the box.

It looks to boot ok, green light is on, ethernet activity light is blinking, but find.homeseer.com can't find it and I don't spot an obvious entry on my router

I have a monitor plugged in and it's sitting at the login prompt. If I plug in a keyboard, after a few seconds the whole thing looks to power down (maybe not enough power to run a backlit USB keyboard)?

The HS PI is plugged into the same switch as my PC.

I assume somehow it's not picking up a dhcp address??? But it's hard to tell since it crashes when I plug in a kbd.

The only failure I see on the screen is rotate logfiles.

Any ideas?

Were you able to connect to it?

I was able to get a non-backlit keyboard to not crash the HS PI and find it's address and connect to it. Those USB ports must have extreme power limits :-)
