I have a DSD440 dual RX02 unit, and the first drive abruptly quit.
The disk access LED just flashes. When you first power it on, you can
hear a slight clicking noise when it first starts spinning. It does spin
though. Right after this noise, the LED starts flashing, and the drive
won't function. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong and
what I can do about it?
Also, from the ODT prompt on my 11/23, how do you get it to boot
from the other (DY1) RX02?
Thanks,
Tom
Tom,
you do realize that a DSD440 has exhaustive self-tests built-in ?
If you remove the lid and power up the system you should see the error-code in
the row of 8 leds on the controller board.
( the one in the DSD440, not the QBUS controller )
If you do not have the documentation I could help you out with a copy of the
led decoding chart.
Anybody has a spare omnibus controller for the DSD440 ?.....
