Pretty weird problem here. I think I've got it isolated down to the mainboard but I really can't afford to replace it so I want to get a second opinion.
Problem: Any module in slot #4 will not provision/work.
1. Known-good DTM, DSM32+, ASM8+ put in slot #4 do not work.
2. Any other slot it works.
3. I re-seated the flat internal DS256 cable between the CIF and the slot backplane (doesn't help)
4. Swapping the two flat cables causes slot #2 not to work instead of slot #4 (so it's not the slots backplane)
5. I have a spare mainboard so I swapped mainboards but kept HD the same (problem completely goes away.)
So one slot doesn't work when the original mainboard is installed. But all slots initialize/provision/work when the other BCM450 mainboard is installed.
Anyone seen this issue before and/or have suggestions on how I can fix it?
This is the first time I have tried to use slot #4. I have to assume slot #4 has never worked with this mainboard but I just didn't know about it.
