dead IBM power supply

[Tomb]

Hi,

  Anyone have a 330watt  # 36L8842 IBM power supply for an IPW 6865 that they might sell me?  Also, any idea why I'm getting a "184 asset control antenna not found" when the IPW boots?  This is the pc that runs an mp-1600.

thanks

I would just replace the PS with any ATX 400 watt or higher. Mine was replaced before I got it... It's just a regular computer power supply.

That error sound like ET is trying to contact the mother ship. I'm clueless on the error.

Thanks for the tip!  I'm trying to build an ipw with scavenged parts....your previous post about upgrading has helped much!

If you ever find yourself in Nashvegas, give me a holler.

If you need more help with the IPW project ..... You know I have tried it ... Whatever it is I tried it once ... or twice.

I'm trying to stripe the archive U: drive, I made it dynamic, but I can't find a stripe option.   Does it need to be striped?  I couldn' get the raid server to work, so I put U: on ID 12 on the 2940 with the other 3 scsi drives and the CD.   I keep getting a "lifetime manager" error.  I swapped a  U:from my other IPW and that works.   Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help, Retired.

To date I have not put my archive unit in service for the second time. The lifetime order error is the fact that the Archive is not operational. As I remember the first time...... I used the on board scsi channel for my archive. It certainly doesn't need to be on the IBM board. Just make a drive (not striped) called u: with the label: Archive  and run the enhanced services disk. It should be fine. I don't really feel like I need an archive unit anymore so I have not bothered to do it myself.
