[labnetwork] Suss MA6 EISS computer

[Beall, James A. (Fed)]

We had a similar issue once. Our IT specialist traced it to an issue with the RAID setup on the hard drive and was able to rebuild it for me. I can ask her if she remembers what she did but it has worked ever since (and it’s now on the building UPS). I’ve also replaced the PS a couple of times. Now it seems to spontaneously reboot so it may be time for another PS.

Suss quoted me $10K for a replacement computer in 2016!

We have had to go to Ebay to find motherboards to repair some legacy systems.

Best of luck,

Jim

During a recent power outage, our MA6 EISS imaging computer failed.  The system starts to boot and then hangs,  I've checked the power supply and the hard drive seems ok, but I suspect the motherboard has failed(swollen caps).  Has anyone had any experience replacing this system?

Thanks in advance,
