Greetings, learned colleagues. First post here, please forgive any breach of etiquette. I'm writing to request assistance with the resurrection of an Origin 2400.
We at LSSM are trying to awaken this 2400 after a few years' slumber. This system was mine personally from about fifteen years ago. We had it running at the museum at one time, but rotated it out of the exhibit area to make room for new machines about five years ago. It has sat in a climate-controlled warehouse since then. The config is two chassis in a rack, 16x 400MHz R12K, 32GB of RAM.
It was hanging on power-up, with N4 of the top chassis showing 0x9a ("CPU disabled by an environment varaible") for both CPUs. The machine comes up fine if I pull that node board. I've tried cleaning and reseating the DIMMs and the node itself, no joy.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to next steps to diagnose and recover that last node?
I'll be working over there this afternoon and all day tomorrow, and can get additional information if needed. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Dave McGuire, LSSM
