Yeh, I know for a fact you cannot setup Hdds for an
as/400 unless with the ibm factory tool. ( saw people using AS for a lot of years
professionally discuss this )
You had an as400, you had to buy the spares hdds sold by ibm and ibm only
Yes, I know about that and can confirm. What I understood from your last posting is that
once you reformat an AS/400 disk for 512 Bytes per sector as used by commodity hardware,
you can?t use it again on AS/400, even by reformatting.
About the panel ... let me see...
Press 1 time "arrow up" to get 02 on the display
Press "insert" > panel will show "02 BN"
Press 4 times "arrow up" so that it changes to "02 BM"
Press 2 times the white power on button, to start the shutdown/poweroff phase
This is *not* an orderly shutdown, but some kind of emergency shutdown procedure to
prevent excess damage through RAM content not yet flushed to disk. A bit like doing a
?sync? and immediate power off on Unix/Linux.
