well nearly.. :D

Finally in my hands is my new fuel which is just darn beutiful and so quiet, perfect skins. Came with a really nice Dell monitor.

Not sure if this is a worry or standard, but when I plugged in the power there was a high pitched whine which went when I powered it on.

It's just so fast and quiet I can't get over it... resolution is 1920x1200 which coming from all my other boxes running at 1280x1024 is something to get used to. With my eyesight I've had to enlarge the icons somewhat..

Worth the pain and wait..

Mine started to do that and gradually got worse, not too long before the power supply died, so pay attention if it gets worse.

Very nice system, especially with the 800MHz CPU! If you say yours is quiet, you either mean "in comparison to an Octane", or a previous owner has already done some fan replacement. My own Fuel always sounded nice and quiet when I first turned it on, but was making certainly a fair amount of noise 10 minutes later as it warmed up (and the fans span up accordingly).

It's possible he did something to fans, but never mentioned it. I had it running for a good few hours last night and it never increased.. so I would say yes.. it's in comparison to my Octanes (especially my DCD v12 one).

EDIT:
Well it's certainly quiet now.. hanging.. last dmesg

So I disconnected power lead to PSU for 30 mins and restarted.
It started up fine. No whining noise and the next item on dmesg was

Congrats, buddy :D

even if the title is deceiving, "I am completed" sounds like you were speaking about the day after xmas
when you has already enjoyed the lunch with rum at the end

"do you want more panettone(1), to be drenched with mascarpone(2) & rum ?" (typical question, near Milan)
and so the typical answer after xmas "no, I am fine, I am completed, thanks"



Image
(1) Panettone is a type of cupola shape sweet bread loaf originally from Milan
usually prepared and enjoyed for Christmas and New Year in Italy
(2) Mascarpone is a ​soft ​white ​Italian ​cheese cream often used in desserts, sometimes (typically for xmas) with rum
used in various Lombardy (around Milan) dishes, and is considered a speciality in the region

Swapped the CD drive for a SUN DVD Drive and was going to put a DAT72 drive in.. but then there was a dilemma.. The colour of the Sun was a grey type and the DAT was black.. that's just not cricket old chap. Then there was cable connection.. well not an issue really, since I have all SCSI types inside.. so the result was..

I fitted a SUN DDS3 Tape (also sun grey).. which is a bit pants, but 12GB of grey tape looks better than 36GB of black.. (I think I'll get a SUN LTO or similar in the future.).

Never used a DAT before, never toughed a DAT cartridge, I wonder how much safe they are as backup-media if compared with hard drive, CD, DVD, and USB pen drive (for these one, IRIX needs to pass through a PC over NFS, as IRIX does not support USB-BULK in her boxes). I have read that cartridge has been stored at the correct temperature and humidity, this prevents condensation.

Also, what is the price of cartridges ? And where do you store them once they got written ?

I've used tape wherever I have worked and found them to be 100% reliable. Never used DVD/CD and I have had a few issues with Disk drives.
MY tape backups here get stored at work, and work get stored here. All backup tapes are encrypted with passwords, although this wasn't the case in the early days using NT Backup.

A half-height LTO drive should fit in a Fuel and would make for a very a nice high-capacity backup. One with a SCSI interface would probably be a bolt-in solution, but since IP35/the Fuel support LSI SATA/SAS controllers, an SAS-interfaced half-height LTO would probably result in the best performance .

Half-height LTO drives aren't DAT cheap, but with a little patience they do occasionally show up. With the typical it-ain't-mine-you're-on-your-own disclaimer, a brief search turned up a half-height SAS LTO3 (400GB per tape uncompressed) for $129 on eBay (and depending on capacity the SCSI variants can be had for as little as twenty bucks ).

uunix if you haven't already seen the thread, another interesting parlor trick supported by the Fuel is IIDC or AV/C video or Compact Flash card access via Firewire .

That sir looks an excellent thread, not so much for the firewire etc (at least not now), but for the DM2 in my Octane. Thank You.

I have seen a beautiful DAT, called "IBM 7208-342" it's a 20/40GB 8mm :D :D :D
unfortunately the owner is located in USA, so the shipping makes it as no good deal
I wish I could enter into the vegetable garden of William Gibson , on the right of a director, to decide how a film is ultimately released for public viewing, but I am not a nor Cyberpunk writer neither a dude in Hollywood , and my English still looks like an old rusty trailer which needs a fix-up, so my personal wonderland begins with a pill ... tumbling down the rabbit hole , where the sky above the router port is the color of television, tuned to a dead channel and some gears still need a debugger there.

I am glad to hear its all working out well. Also just to let you know, I never changed the power supply fan so unless Ian Mapleson did before I received it I would presume that its an original.

Open the front flap on my Fuel and it has very nice matching dark grey SUN DVD & SUN DDS... well it did. Then the flap fell off the DDS!!!

So I've purchased a new black DVD drive and a black LTO2 drive. I had found a SUN Dat72 which would have been nice, but I ummed and arrrd too much and missed out and the SUN LTO's are all double height. So for about £40 I purchased the 2 black drives. Looking forward to fitting them I am.
