| 5 | | replaced motherboard hardware and disks for ipp009, ipp012, ipp014. |
| 6 | | |
| 7 | | ipp012 new disk 11 had to be swapped out. |
| 8 | | ipp009: 6 4BG sticks were installed but only 5 are showing. All the memory has been swapped out for new memory with the same result. |
| 9 | | ipp014: We hear continuous beeps on power on changing too 2 short |
| 10 | | beeps and a long one after something appears on the screen. However |
| 11 | | the 2 beeps and a long on are not constant - they become random. |
| 12 | | We don't see any memory report on the first screen like the others. |
| 13 | | We changed the mother board and memory with identical results. |
| 14 | | There was a dead fan issue but we rewired it and all the fans are |
| 15 | | working and the fan light is off. No effect on the beep pattern. The |
| 16 | | initial quick short beeps sound like memory beeps but it weird that we |
| 17 | | get it to boot at all. Left out of the rack. |
| 18 | | |
| 19 | | The new mother boards do not have an IDE connection |
| 20 | | for the existing optical drives. We (Bill) drove to the only 2 |
| 21 | | computer stores on the island and purchased the only 2 notebook size |
| 22 | | optical drives with sata connectors available. However - once we |
| 23 | | installed these we realized the connectors were something we had not |
| 24 | | seen - and did not have the cables for. At first glance they look like |
| 25 | | sata connections but there is a power component as well. opps. |
| 26 | | Fortunately Brad had external usb optical drives we could use. |
| 27 | | Hundreds of them, in fact. Gavin had to Mac Gyvered them in place |
| 28 | | because the cables were too short to set them anywhere. |

| | 8 | * put ippc10 back in rack |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | == Nov 4 == |
| | 11 | * ippb00 Haydn replaced back plane for ippb00 a0 - Drive 3 detected. All drives put back in unit - parts sent back to YMI. |
| | 12 | |

| | 14 | * Installed ASUS MOBO into ippc10 |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | == Oct 27 == |

| | 18 | |
| | 19 | == Oct 25 == |
| | 20 | * ippb00 replaced cable,raid card and sled - still not detecting drive A0 3 - ordered back plane |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | == Oct 24 == |
| | 23 | * ipp036 has dead CPU0 fan unable to boot. |
| | 24 | * Swapped MOBO out of ippc10 into ipp036 (still in rack - unable to remove it - only me working ) Left ipp036 with 1 processor - not sure if cpu damaged - did want to hurt MOBO of running system |
| | 25 | * Installed 6 of the 8 3TB drives in STARE nodes. 2 drive DOA sent for RMA |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | == Oct 19 == |
| | 28 | * replaced ippb00 A0 drive 3 but still not being detected. worked with LSI to de-bug - needs hardware fix Ordered parts from YMI |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | == Oct 10 == |
| | 31 | * Swapped CPU0 memory with CPU1 memory |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | == Sept 30 == |
| | 34 | * installed 3TB disks in slots 2&3 |
| | 35 | |

| | 47 | * Replaced IPP014's raid controller. |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | == Aug 23 2011 == |
| | 50 | * Haydn Bill and I were able upgrade ipp004,ipp013 and ipp018 MB and disks without incident. |
| | 51 | * We corrected the existing error in the RAID card cabling in ipp004 so now the drives are seated in the same order as the other machines ( funnily we discovered and remembered this problem because we had missed swapping a drive and put a 500GB back in which was showing in the wrong slot ) |
| | 52 | |
| | 53 | * ipp037 has a new MB. |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | * Gavin installed the OS and building the RAID - he was instrumental once again in supporting us while at MHPCC. |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | * Haydn did all the drive replacements |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | == Aug 16 == |
| | 60 | * Installed the replacement MOBO for ippc10 |
| | 61 | |
| | 62 | == Aug 15 == |
| | 63 | * ipp011 |
| | 64 | * Upgraded to new MB and 2 TB drives. Had to move CPU0 memory stick from outer blue slot to middle black slot. |
| | 65 | * Suppose to fill blue slots first. The memory was not detected in the outer black slot. Same weirdness seen in ipp009 ( according to Gavin ASA chassis) |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | * ipp019 |
| | 68 | * Upgraded to new MB and 2 TB drives. Memory all in blue slots and detected |
| | 69 | * The 1st new MB installed did not detect any memory in the cpu0 no matter where we put the sticks. Tried a second new MB using all the same memory and CPU's - with good results. Will RMA the 1st new MB. |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | * ipp015 |
| | 72 | * Upgraded to 2TB drives. On reboot saw only 12GB of memory. For this machine memory is suppose to be an all black slots. However we noted that the memory was in a mixture of black and blue slots. Moved to all blacks. All memory detected. |
| | 73 | |
| | 74 | == Aug 1 == |
| | 75 | * Swapped all memory out of ippdb03 - formally ippc00 - using the memory from ippc10 - waiting for MB |
| | 76 | * Added 2 2TB disks to ippc10 to become the newest rendition of ippdb03 |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | == July 29 == |
| | 79 | * Added new memory to ippb00 1nd 01 - now have 32GB each. |
| | 80 | |
| | 81 | == July 27 == |
| | 82 | * Spent AM diagnosing the non-boot problem in ipp030 - failed MB |
| | 83 | * After lunch |
| | 84 | * Took failed MB out of ipp030 and replaced it with MB from ippc10. |
| | 85 | * ippc10 remains out of the rack. |
| | 86 | |
| | 87 | == July 15 == |
| | 88 | * Swapped the 1st 3 mem sticks out of ippdb00 |
| | 89 | |

| | 91 | * replace a raid card in ipp005 |
| | 92 | |
| | 93 | == Feb 9 == |
| | 94 | * Bill and I replaced the motherboards of ipp005, ipp006, ipp007, ipp025 |
| | 95 | |
| | 96 | Notables: |
| | 97 | ipp006 & ipp025 memory counts were missing 4GB. We identified which |
| | 98 | slot and put the stick in a black slot next to a blue working slot. |
| | 99 | All 24GB are now showing on both machines. The malfunctioning slots on |
| | 100 | the 2 machines were not the same. We tested the power cables and while |
| | 101 | we found some odd readings they were not consistent between the |
| | 102 | machines or relative to the cpu's with the malfunctioning slots. |
| | 103 | |
| | 104 | The boards installed on the back of the CD drive are not working. We |
| | 105 | still have external CD drives hanging off the machines. |
| | 106 | We need to come up with a solution. |
| | 107 | |
| | 108 | At some point in time - this fix should work for ipp009 so we have all |
| | 109 | 24 GB available. |

| | 134 | |
| | 135 | We installed the new RAID card in ipp012 without problems. |
| | 136 | |
| | 137 | However, we did not have success with the IDE->SATA converter board |
| | 138 | for the CD/DVD. The drive was not being detected on boot. We tried all |
| | 139 | SATA ports, different card, different CD/DVD, different cable to no |
| | 140 | avail. We checked the bios and there was note anything we could see |
| | 141 | that would prevent it from working. The external drive has been |
| | 142 | reattached. We brought a card and cd/dvd player back to test it and |
| | 143 | get it working here. It may need a jumper set to make sure it is not |
| | 144 | in slave mode - however we did not have a manual or a jumper - the |
| | 145 | boards did not come with one. |
| | 146 | |
| | 147 | We also had the usual rack problems - ipp012 is particularly difficult |
| | 148 | to put back in - it is at the bottom of the rack and ipp013 is |
| | 149 | weighting down on it a bit. |
