Bugger, I have the same server with a full rack of 18 gig hot swap scsi's but the mobo is fried. I had a look and I can see a burnt capacitor. Not being the engineering type (soldering guns get stuck to the board for some reason), I'm now looking for a replacement motherboard for the beast.
If anyone on this list is prepared to sell theirs and has a paypal account, I'd be eager to hear from you... /Rob Thijssen Intranets Tel. 01752 774338, 0773 2827175 www.thys.co.uk -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Godwin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 February 2003 14:45 To: [email protected] Subject: Disks for 5300 ? I have a Digital 5300-6533A shipped with NT but now running Debian;it runs nicely but has only a single 9.1GB disk, which is looking rather small by today's standards. It seems like a good idea to keep an eye out for some spare disks on the surplus market, but I'm not familiar with the variant of SCSI that this uses. The drive is numbered FR-CFCBA-CA and RZ1DB-VH, and some Googling indicates that this is probably an SCA drive in a StorageWorks module but I don't really know what that means .. Can anyone explain what I should look out for, and what will & won't work with moderate bodging ? I've seen a somewhat similar module (RZ29B-VW in a green case) fairly cheap but don't know if it would work. I've got no budget for maintaining this machine - it belongs to my employer, but I more or less saved it from the skip and I suspect it will be mine next time we're short of space. -adrian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
