Re: Modernizing a 150 - need some documentation

Keith

Almost there - a supplier for the drives says he does not have the rails - are there supposed to be any? I can't see anything on the 6607, at least, that looks like rails. But these are the 6713s. So maybe you know.

Thanks

Aha your clarification agrees with my memory - that the right side cover
does need to come off. I remember having to that but not why!

To get at the screws to the front cover.

While heat can be an issue I have one customer with a 150 still running
happily with four 4GB drives in it for years - they keep it on the floor
in a nice cool computer room. It's used rarely for a few things when
their production system is down for backups etc.

A well cooled room always helps.

Heat varies by component drive model. The DCHS (black w/gold ban) and in
particular the 8gb drive (2/3 height) gets fairly hot.

I tried running a 6717 and 6718 (via a 7128) but the 150 wouldn't even
boot into DST. Maybe a 6714 in a 150 would work. Have you tried this
combo ?
