 |
|
Greetings all!
I am going crazy trying to figure out an issue with the following hardware:
* Windows 2000 Server SP4 (Intel-based)
* DEC DLT 7000 Drive Fast-Wide, HVD (High Voltage Differential) with SCSI-2
Internal Connector
* Adaptec AHA-2944UW HVD SCSI controller
* Internal 68pin high-density LVD cable - Terminated single-ended SCSI
cable with three high density 68 pin (M) connectors - 0.9m (2.8ft) long
When I go to boot the server I get the following error message from the
Adaptec SCSI controller card: "Timeout Failure during SCSI Inquiry Command!"
I've cheked all of the connections, made sure the SCSI ID's are set
correctly, tried disabling parity on the controller and drive, tried
disabling termination on the drive and only using the cable end terminator,
and the other connectors on the cable.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Steven |

You have all HVD devices, except for the termination on the cable which is
LVD. Could be causing you a problem. Remove the LVD terminator and make
sure that the controller is at one end of the cable, and a scsi device is
at the other end and terminated. Leave no cable hanging after the last
SCSI device at either end. Both ends terminated (make sure the controller
has termination enabled).

This is a software issue rather than one of hardware.. I'm assuming windows

That won't do it. You need to contact Dell with its serial
number, and convince them that you are the legal owner.

While it's arguable that you may be entitled to the laptop,
at least for now, you are not entitled to the data on it.
You're treading in murky waters here, best to contact owner
and find out what they're going to do, but otherwise, format
drive and start from scratch. |

make the cd and boot from it with the laptop, it will reset the
passwords to whatever you want. If the deadbeat had any encrypted files
with that efs system in windows then you won't be able to access them
after the password change. |

Go back and check all the connections and CPU seating and Fans and whatever.
Try to see if anything is shorting the motherboard somewhere, like a
standoff in the wrong place or something lodged under it.
Try unplugging the power supply from the wall to possibly reset it.
Do you know if the motherboard supports the CPU you have with it's current
BIOS? I've seen some instances where you needed an older chip to be able to
boot to flash the bios before a more advanced CPU would work.
Have you checked all the jumpers on the board?

I don`t have any replacement DDR ram to try. Is this probably a RAM

Any ideas...

I plug the firepod into the firewire card and the red light turns
blue. Its only a matter of minutes before the light turns red again
and the computer either freezes or restarts itself. I've replaced the
firewire card twice, ran a memtest, ran a hard drive test, installed
motherboard monitor, installed service pack 2, and tried a million
other things. Running out of ideas. Any suggestions?

Disable Windows' "Startup and Recovery", "Automatically
Reboot" setting (if you hadn't already). Then if you see a
bluescreen, write down the stop code and it can be
researched on MS' website.
Have you tried a newer driver for the card or Firepod (if
they exist)? It might help to list at least the most
(seemingly) significant of the million other things tried so
people can move on to other suggestions. |

You shouldn't need to uninstall either of them, they
play very well with others. What can happen is that
some of the codec and file associations get reset, just
reinstall your player(s). Make one of your players,
Media Player Classic, it lets you look at the filters it
is using while it plays something. If you click on a
filter listing it will bring up the filter's property page.

Try using English, rather than obscure abbreviations. Why should
we spend any time trying to decipher your silly posting. If you
decide to pay me for the effort, then I will do so.
What, if anything, does "bcoz of this n am nw tryin" or "Wd b"
mean?

if desktop:
Since you have only 8mb:
Most likely FPM 72 pin simms. With a decent chance of edo 72 pin simms.
Most will accept either FPM or EDO, but not both at once.
72 pin simms must be in *matched* pairs.
You should have a decent chance of finding 4 matched 32MB sticks, for
128mb total. That's the largest common size. 64s are RARE, and 128s,
even rarer. And many machines won't accept them anyway.
there is no requirement to match 168 pin dimms, but you should if you
can.
SD?
Too vauge.
pc100?
Maybe. There are a *few* p1s that will accept it. With only 8mb
onboard, it's unlikely. pc-100 pretty much bottoms out at 16mb
individual sticks. you do see 8mb sticks occasionally, but they're
rare.
pc133?
Maybe, but unnecessary.
If laptop: go fish, if you post the make and model, you may recieve
some help. But laptops, especially in that era are *finicky* with RAM.
So no guesses here. |

They do with a p1. See reference below.

Wont necessarily always be able to handle that tho.

99.9% will.
if it's a 486, maybe not, but every p1 I've ever worked on will accept
32s, even if the manual says they wont.

Only in OLDER computers. Some really old macs (only 1 simm slot) and
pre pentium computers. Otherwise, pair'm or it don't work.
"
Due to the differing data bus widths of the memory modules and some
processors, sometimes several modules must be installed in identical
pairs or in identical groups of four to fill a memory bank. For
instance, on 80386 or 80486 systems (data bus width of 32 bits), either
four 30-pin SIMMs or one 72-pin SIMM are required for one memory bank.
On Pentium systems (data bus width of 64 bits), two 72-pin SIMMs are
required.
"

Nope.

It reduces the chance of mismatch, and therfor increases the likelihood
of stability. It's basic good practice. |
