My (original stock) primary drive stopped responding. The front control panel froze-up.
There is an original stock internal back-up drive, (NOT a hot swap) mounted underneath the primary drive.
I also have an external scsi drive connected to the rear panel scsi port, which is functioning properly.
I opened the mx case, dis-connected the non-responsive primary drive and connected the internal back up drive. (I had it disconnected to keep it cooler in the box, and also, so the MX would boot more quickly)
So, as I said, I RE-connected the internal back-up drive.
Upon power-up everything responded nicely and I am up and running, with the internal 'back up' now being used as my primary internal drive. The external drive is also functioning properly.
I left what was originally the (male) plug on the ribbon tape, for the primary drive, un plugged, and the power cable is removed from mother board.
Should I place a terminator in the male connecter on that ribbon tape, where the primary used to be plugged in?
Should I connect the internal WORKING drive to the plug where the primary WAS plugged in?
The working internal drive is defaults to drive "0"
Should I name the external drive "1"?
Thanks, I'm guessing you're still around, Alan? Or whomever has an answer.. Thanks again, Dan (formerly DeeCeeMonterey) I changed my UserName because I forgot my password.
