Wrote on the subject of Drive sleds for Origin300 at April 12, 2011, 12:36 a.m...
Hi all,

hopefully my new bought Origin300 system will arrive soon, but without hard drives, and possibly without the needed sleds...
What kind of sled are used in the O300? I have checked eBay, no such sleds are offered. I guess hey are different to the ones used in Octanes, am I right? What kind of systems share the O300 sleds (to make it easier for me to look for the sight ones *gg*)

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best regards,
Christoph

Thank you very much, this really helps me! I did not found any information about the sleds!

Like they did with the O350, SGI used an off the shelf drive sled in the O300. The O350 sled was also used by Intel/Sun/others, the O300 sled in a few IBM servers.

The O300 sleds are marked with assembly number A06447-00x (where the "x" is either a 1 or a 2).

A very brief eBay search turned up a couple in Italy for 15 euros each: http://cgi.ebay.com/rack-hd-SCSI-SCA2-L ... 5633674311

Except for the latching mechanism, the sleds used by O350 and O300 are identical. If all else fails, you could modify the slightly more common O350 sleds to fit into an O300. bplaa-yai provided photos of the process in this post: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16719820&

Yes, still dreaming of a dual 600 MHz one...
I have one dual 400 MHz, which is quit nice =) I use it to compile the packages for nekoware.

I wanted to upload a new version of the neko_git package, but I was unable to log into ftp.nekochan.net. Is there a new place to upload stuff?

Thanks,
Christoph

Thank you very much! Now it works again and I uploaded neko_git-1.7.5.3.tardist.

It would be very nice if I would get some response from users which use package if everything is ok or what kind of problem you have with package so that I can try to correct it :D

Best regards,
Christoph

Hi,

ftp.nekochan.net does not except any anonymous ftp logins, a restart may be needed ;-)

Wrote on the subject of neko_curl-1.25.0 uploaded at May 23, 2012, 11:40 a.m...
Hi,

I just uploaded the latest version of the curl software package. The old version was incompatible with the neko_openldap version from beta and broke all packages which depend on neko_curl like neko_git. These packages are now usable again.

Best regards,
Christoph
