Fiber NAM LED Problem

[swozi2004]

I recently used a ghost program on a NAM harddrive and tried to boot-up the NAM with the HD that was ghosted. Now, the LED on the main board stay's on 9C and goes no further. Can anyone help?

Note: I did install the original HD on another NAM, and it works OK.

Don't know what the 9C means, but be aware that there are several different vintages of NAM hard drives. Copper and fiber NAMs require different drivers, and App. Mod hard drives are different from App. Mod II hard drives. Also, anytime you replace a NAM hard drive it will boot up as a 2-port system. This is why it is vital to keep your sekur file backup up to date so you can restore the channels. Otherwise you'll need to purchase keycodes to add more channels.

If you have error 9c ,it means that you have monitor and keyboard and mouse ( monitor packege enabled) you must either connect them or disable it( set the SBC dip switch no 8 to on).I hope that helps.

Good Luck!

I am not sure if using Ghost will get all the partitions. I had to use an expensive 1:1 hard drive copy device to get a good working copy. For backup reasons of course

Do you have a video card installed or have the VGA port on the SBC? Hook up a standard monitor and make sure dip switch 8 is to the left I think(It's the opposite of which way most of the switches are set). Then you can watch it boot. If it doesn't like the HD it will tell you so in the boot.

If I have the SBC switch #8 to on, with the keyboard/mouse and monitor unplugged, it keeps rebooting.

Is there something on the main board that will go into a "failure mode", if another HD is installed? I tried removing the CMOS battery for an hour or 2, and it still didnt help.

I had the "rebooting" symptoms before when I enabled the monitor package, but did not have SBC switch in the off position.

So this is a ghosted HD, I assume we are still talking about. Did you remember to put the jumped back the way it was on the other HD? That one gets me sometiimes. Depending on what type of HD it is, it should be master or no jumper. One of those two should get it booting.

rhowlett -

I moved the video card to another slot and it now boots up. But now, it has recognized a different HD and wants me to insert the "Auto Configuration disk" and press F1. Has anyone ran into this?

 

[swozi2004]

I take that back, the system is not asking for the "auto configuration disk", it wants "a" disk and then hit F1. I only said "auto configuration disk" because I am looking at a NAM manual and it says to insert the auto configuration disk when adding another HD. Any suggestions anyone?
