Hello,
You can find here below a note posted in DECSYSTEM conference.
I post it here, too, to ask you wether you know a situation when the
FDDI board in Turbochannel would hang a DS5900 or 5000-240 due
to some strange traffic ?
Thank's in adavnce for your inputs and best regards !
Thierry A.

Note 693.0 Intermittent hang / DS5900 / 4.2A... No replies

Hello Everybody,
Is there a known problem with the DS5900.
We have one which hangs intermitently (~twice a week).
All the LEDs get on behind the box and there is no way to halt the
system using the reset button. We have to turn it off then on
to start again.
They have 320 MB. a SCSI and FDDI options in Turbochannel
and Prestoserve board.
Thank's in advance and best regards !

Yes that's normal. Exactly what software do you have on that system? | |||||

Sorry, here it is : Ultrix 4.2A rev.47.
What other SW would you like to know something about. It's a very
heavily used system with many applications !
Best regards !

| 781.4 | Sounds like old SCSI control problem. | SCHOOL::POMFRET | Tue Nov 10 1992 18:29 | 2 | |
There is a problem with the old SCSI boards that caused this. Contact Mike Savello product manager for more information. | |||||

| 781.6 | Seems to be fixed... | LEMAN::AGASSIS | Wed Nov 18 1992 11:07 | 18 | |
For your information, since we've replaced the mother board, the
CPU and two SCSI adapters, the system doesn't hang anymore (for a
week).
The SCSI adapters were and are at the right revision (D07).
Older SCSI adapters might cause similar hangs as well as an defective
RZ57...If the latest is faulty, you can force a crash only
if you have installed crashdump.o patch.
In our case, even with this patch installed, we couldn't force a crash.
One of the mentionned part was probably defective.
This info might help others...
Best regards !
