Re: Lost IP connection to 41A

Yes we deal mostly with Rack Mounting. Thus you have to mentally rotate the picture in your head so that the unit is flat. The correct rotation will put the Power Supplies at the bottom and the big air vent across the top.

Yes that makes the right most port in your view the top port on that card.

You and Rob both mentioned "top port". Those are HMC1 and 2. My tower
they're down on row c10. There are 4 ports. The right most one was my LAN
port.

Well the top port is the one used for the LAN Console. Don't know if you
use a direct cable for that or not but if you do certainly assure that one
is in T1. (Numbers go T1 top to T4 bottom)

The rest of the ports depend on what you used them for. If they all go to
the same switch then it really shouldn't matter and something else is then
afoot.

I was messing around straightening up some cables. I unplugged the 2 cat
5
cables from the back of my 41A

I plugged them back in (the first two on p1-c10, one has the green arrow
above it lit) and can't seem to get connectivity back to them now.

I can't get a LAN console either as that IP address isn't responding now
either to pings or anything.

I tried an IPL from the panel, no dice.

Any ideas? Thanks!
