RE: 170 failed

You mean I_BASE right? The B_2xxx-0x CDs will not boot.

If so, then I concur with your thought that the drive cage has failed
(though I'd pull it and clean all the contacts with DeoxIT Gold or
equivalent before I'd order a new one, you could have moisture/dirt buildup
on contacts depending on where you live)

However, your problem may go deeper than the drive cage.  The I_BASE CD
*should* start in DM if your CD-ROM is working.  I don't think it matters if
you have a working fixed disk mechanism.

My advice is clean all leads.

Subject: 170 failed

Oh great and intelligent hardware gods,

I have a 170-2291 that has died.  The primary drive reported 
failure.  After replacing that drive I tried to IPL to DM 
with the BASE cd in the CDROM drive.  The machine will not 
come up.  The display codes I see are:

C1001016
A1101933
B1014507

At this point it halts.

I pulled the RAID card out and attached the SCSI to the 
board, but this did not help.  To me it seems like the drive 
cage has failed.  I would like to determine this for sure 
before ordering another drive cage.  Any suggestions would be 
greatly appreciated.


Thank you,
Schadd Gray
