Hmm, okay. That means mine's broke then.
I powered it up, pack in place, heads retracted.
The fan comes on, the "READY" lite comes on,
but it doesn't sound like it's spinning up.
No "FAULT" lite.
I pull the pack (heads still retracted), and
turn it on whilst fooling the pack inserted/door closed
switch. The spindle turns *very* slowly, and then
stops.
With the rear cover off, it looks like it does the same
thing with the pack inserted, and cover closed.
I haven't plugged this thing into a live host interface
yet; I'm just trying to see if everything's okay first.
I read somewhere that it gets it's spindle motor clock
from the RLV12/11).

Sounds normal yet.
Try it with the RLV in a system and cabled to the drive.
