I've got an option11c that fails to boot. Keeps cycling this on the screen. I've replaced the SSC Card, Memory Module. Haven't replaced the NTSK02AQ (I only have one) 23.15 Was working stole the Power Supply to fix another Option11. When the new Power Supply came in I put it in an this is what I get. Any Ideas?

maybe:
1. replacement power supply is bad, or
2. software daughterboard is bad.

good luck!
 
Software daughter board bad you need to flash it

It's rare that the CPU goes faulty, unless it's lightning!. Your daughterboard is corrupted. I have a guide to restore your system back to it's original state, using a PCMCIA card & reloading in the software after formatting the daughterboard. You will need to have the original CPU handy as the backup database is kept on it.
Just follow my link, but don't post out any email address's!.

All the best

If it's working, then leave it alone!.
 
Thanks everyone... I had a used the SSC Card in troubleshooting another system and now it looks like its all gone. At one time I had backed it up to a PCMCIA Card but It may have gotten overwritten. Just going to reload from scratch when I find my keycodes.

Thanks!
 
There is a issue about a firmware.

If you install a new SSC card then it is possible that there is an old firmware on it.

To solve this problem you kan install an old Daugtherboard on the card insert a PCMCIA card in slot a with new software on it the software you want to install and press controll + I when its on your screen in the tools menu you can reinstall the firmware to the latest after that you can install you new daugther board.

This I also seen with SSC card new from Nortel.
