R12k 400mhz on Octane board 030-0887-04
Hello guys, 
Today I received my R12k 400mhz for my octane with board 030-0887-004, which I checked that should work properly.
When I swapped the cpu the octane booted correctly then when i shut it down and cold boot it the red led started to blink. I tried several things and then by pure luck when i cold booted it again i turned it off and then on again, and voilla it booted correctly.
I then remembered and old pc i had which had the same symptom, result power supply not able to handle power demand. Then I started to remove everything and putting back together. Result the new hdd an Seagate barracuda 15k 320gb was the issue. I putted my original ibm hdd and voilla system is back to normal with my new Cpu.
When I bought this hdd i thought it might be too powerful for the octane but i bought it anyway. 

Just wanted to share this with you there might be someone out there facing same issues.

Merry Christmas to you all Christmas 🎄
