Thanks to another nekochan member I've acquired a very clean Octane2 (the incandescent portion of the lightbar even works).

The graphics carrier originally included one of the SGI XIO dual-channel FC boards, until its services are needed I pulled it to prevent the automatic fastfan mode that occurs if XIO slot 'C' is populated (the V12 uses slot(s) A/B, and the DM2 slot 'D'). The 2GB of memory is comprised of eight 256MB DIMMs (edit: now six 512MB and two 256MB DIMMs), and until I rearrange monitors the display is currently connected to the 13W3 port on the V12.

That is entirely unacceptable. If I ever visit, I'm putting an Avery label on it.

It did have one, but I got a little overzealous while appling low-gloss armorall.

BTW - don't you also have an V12-DCD-DM2-DM5-FC equipped Octane2 to immortalize in an hinv post? Preferably with a few photos so we can see just how pathological the Avery label fixation has become.

Yeah, and I'd love to remove the FC board and re-arrange things to avoid fast-fan.

I have to complete a culling of the Octanes, and figure out what I'm keeping - probably just one built around the V12, another around the MXE+PVO. The sticking point is testing the components I've collected and building up the other three chassis so they can find new homes.

In theory that will be a trigger for an update of the remaining Octane' hinv posts.

Good find. I will have to try this myself. I have the VBOB & cables, but all coax cables I have are survivors from the time I lived in a student house where we ran a 10base2 network :shock:

They are buried so deep I may as well order some new ones :oops:

Thank you. The DVI ports are on a Dual Channel Display option board commonly called a DCD. DCDs do make semi-rare appearances on eBay. Two nekochan members have recently had some listed on eBay, so you could also try a post in the wanted forum.

Thank you as well. The nice appearance is courtesy of the care taken by the previous owner - it's nice not have have to deal with the 'it came from surplus where it was pushed across the floor on its plastic parts because it was too heavy to lift" appearance of so much of what appears on eBay these days.

If you happen to have a DIVO in one of your Onyx2s ( which also work in an Octane ), there are similar tools (divohinv and divotest) there too.

BTW, when you run the xtdigvid_confidence tests, please post some details.

...... and a pseudo DM10. This one is the Adaptec AFW-4300B with the red PCB mentioned in the Octane Hardware Aggregator (and elsewhere in the forums). It successfully reads and writes Compact Flash media using a MicroTech FWCameraMate.

I did discover if the 32-bit PCI Adaptec AFW-4300B was installed in a numerically lower PCI slot (in the PCI card cage) than the 64-bit PCI-X GigE board I'd get PCI Bridge errors during boot and neither would function reliably after boot. Installing the PCI-X board in PCI slot 1 and the 32-bit board in slot 3 resolved the issue.

I wonder if neko's lockups with the Adaptec Duoconnect in the Tezro were due to a similar peculiarity ?

Interesting thought. Could you try the Duoconnect in your tezro-similar O350?
