well now I feel real dumb. I was looking for the drive locks
and could only find the head lock. Now I know the cable on
the right is *not* for belt tension. Thanks all

Did not see this come through so here it s again.
I have a rack full of RA81's, all Pass Rom base self test. If I try to spin
up one of the drives, It will start to spin up and then just stop. There are
no front panel lights that come on or codes on the terminal screen. all 3
drives do the same.
These are not connected to a controller, and the manual does not say this
is need.
The forth one has no drive and the motor seems to turn hard, is there a brake
on the motor ???
- what I'm I missing here
Thanks Jerry
Do you have the power start sequencing cables in place?
Also, are the belts engaged, and the transport locks disengaged?
