Hello Running a net6501-70 board in its rackmount case (with the included internal power supply), I'm having troubles with SATA-II disks (Samsung HN-M101MBB, which actually seem to be Seagate ST1000LM024; attached to J1, J2, JP18): almost always at least one of the disks fails to spin up, producing a tapping noise for a second instead of the usual spin-up noise. But sometimes both disks succeed to spin up, and sometimes both fail.

However, if the disks are _not_ connected to the SATA ports, they always seem to spin up perfectly. Is this a power problem? Is anybode else seeing this? What are my options, besides not using the disks? ;-) TIA & cheers, Jukka -- This email fills a much-needed gap in the archives. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
