You have to be kidding me. I have that arrangement
and it's solid. The
RX02
bottom is well shielded as it the top of the RL02 logic.
Not only am I not kidding, but I can PROVE that RFI/EMI is the problem.
I took off the side panel of the H960 cabinet so I could access the RX02 and
RL02 from the side, without disturbing any cables whatsoever. I slid a metal
sheet inbetween the RX02 and RL02, both of which were fully retracted inside
the cabinet.
I powered up everything and then hit load on the RL02. It loaded fine with
no fault.
From the side, I could pull the metal sheet between the
two out towards the
side. After sliding it out a few inches the ready light would
start
flashing... the further I pulled it out the faster the RL02 ready light
would flash. If I pulled it out all the way, the RL02 would fault. Problem
proven :)
I'm not saying that ANY RL02/RX02 combo will have this issue, but mine
clearly does. And it isn't cables. I do have to disagree with you on one
point, the top of the RL02 logic sure doesn't appear well shielded to me.
With regards to the RX02 - the left drive works fine, the right drive has
never worked. I will try Tony's suggestion tomorrow and see if that confirms
the diagnosis. But when I can move a metal sheet between the drives and
cause/fix the problem, I'm pretty sure I know what is causing it. So if
Alison has this same set up and it's "solid" for her, why is it not for me?
