SPCN is a Network (that's the 'N' part!) It is also multi-hop (like Twinax) except on i5's where it is now a complete loop. Disconnecting it will definately create an SPCN error on the 820 but it's hard to say what the results will be. I suspect because that tower has only tape in it the system won't care however I do not have enough faith in that feeling to reccomend anything but powering off the 820. The biggest isseue is if the 'Network' gets disrupted and the 820 thinks the other towers are gone as well, then it just shuts down everything. Not goot.

So I agree with Rob!

Don't know. I'd proceed with caution until you do. Years ago, with a small row of white racks, we were running on UPS and I thought it would save battery power to hit the power off switch on the rack containing just the tape drive. Immediately powered down the rest of the racks. I never hit that big red power switch until the day we unplugged it. And it broke. Snapped off quick as a 3196 switch.
