Well it won't come up with a missing pair of disks. You'll get a nasty SRC at some point. I don't believe it will even start the IPL.

If you go into hardware service manager and then Packaging hardware resources. a) Do you see the expansion tower? b) If you do, then if you put a '9' next to that what does it show there? It should at least show 'stuff' in slots. Some of what's in there are power regulators and other such. Is there a yellow light on that expansion tower in front or any SRC code displayed there?

Uh, this isn't a separate "expansion tower"; it's the bolted-on expansion side of a 40S -- the right side of a "fat" 9402 case. So it wouldn't have its own front panel.

That said, I see a bunch of non-reporting (long-gone, but evidently not forgotten) drives among the "non-reporting resources," and I see a "Disk Expansion Unit" designated "EE02." (There's also an "EE01" that contains all four of the drives that *are* reporting).

Except for the IOP, the slots all have empty books in them. And while there *is* a power supply at the bottom of each side, *neither* of them seem to show up in Hardware Service Manager.
