Help for a new O2 owner
#26
RE: Help for a new O2 owner
Don't hot swap drives on SGI desktop systems. It can be done for certain configurations (i've done it on Origin systems with the help of scsiha command) but the O2 is fragile. I wouldn't risk it.

You can test the memory using IDE. It's not a very thorough test but it gives you an idea if the module is okay.
Go to the O2 PROM, enter '3' or click on "run Diagnostics" and let it run for about 40 minutes.

BTW, make sure the memory modules are inserted properly. Sometimes a re-seat is needed, sometimes cleaning the contacts carefully with alcohol can help resolve spurious issues.
