I had a customer that had to replace the SCSI cable for a 3580 Lxx and
afterwards had the same problem, wouldn't vary on, after IPL
non-reporting... They sent out everything external to the System i and
it was still the same. Then they sent the CE with everything and the
5702 card. Same problem. He reordered everything again and that set
worked. We figured that the first time the card failed and probably
fried the drive with it, then fried the replacement drives which then
fried the new card.
Later, they wanted to relocate the drive farther away (don't ask why) so
got a new long cable. After following proper procedure (vary off, power
off, then un-hook) the drive was dead again, even after switching back
to the original cable. When the CE got there with another complete set
of hardware except the cable, we noticed that even though the small
connector at the 5702 card is tapered like a VGA cable and should only
connect one way in reality it can easily go the wrong way around. We now
figure that is what happened each time and fried everything.

tinkers damn. When I put the old one back in at least it would configure.
(Not that I could use it though). Second new one is on the way.
