When I'd come in, the machine was turned off, and
I had to go through
the long rows of CDC "washing machine" type disk drives and power them
up one at a time. ?Couldn't power up more than one at a time, as the
surge load would cause breakers to pop, and that was definitely not a
good thing as a drive is spinning up. ?I'd have to hit the power on the
drive, and wait about 45 seconds for the drive to spin up enough that
the main surge was over with before I could hit the power switch for the
next drive.
CDC installations were not power sequenced? Or just Teks?
