RE: [USR-TC] Strange DSP NAC activity
Is there more than one ARC in the unit? Just guessing, but is one ARC managing slots 1-10 and the other managing 11 and 12? -----Original Message----- From: Lee Terrell [mailto:leet@directcon.net] Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 4:21 PM To: usr-tc@mailman.xmission.com Subject: [USR-TC] Strange DSP NAC activity Hi All, We recently acquired a TC1000 chassis with 14 HiperDSPs. Upon power up, I noticed that the DSP NAC in slot 10 resets every few minutes like clock work. The NAC shows the same behavior trying it in slots 9 and 8, however, when placed in slots 11 or 12, it runs fine. I also tried the NACs from slot 11 and 12 in slot 10, and they seem to work fine there, and the NACs from slots 9 and 8 also work fine in slot 10. Does anyone know of any peculiarities having to do with slot 10 in a fully loaded chassis? It just seems rather odd that I can take this single NAC, and try in in any slot from 1-10 and it resets, but it seemingly runs fine in 11-14, and any other NAC on the chassis runs fine in slot 10. I was just curious if anyone else had observed anything close to this activity or if I'm just seeing some total control ghosts being funny.

Got 130w power supplies in that chassis? -Wayne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joel - Fox Computers" <jfox@foxcomputers.com> To: <usr-tc@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 5:54 PM Subject: RE: [USR-TC] Strange DSP NAC activity Is there more than one ARC in the unit?

I'm digging deeper into the configuration now. It seems that slots 1-10 at statically assigned to one HiperARC and slots 11-14 aren't assigned anywhere, statically or dynamically. The chassis does have 2 130A power supplies, but I only have one plugged in for now. If the last for slots aren't assigned at all, would that account for a possible faulty DSP NAC not resetting periodically in slots 11-14? I'm printing out some pdf file now to read some more. This is my first crack at a unit with multiple ARCs and power supplies. I should be a little better educated when I get through a few of these chapters. Thanks for the initial pointers on what to look for. -Lee WayneG wrote:

Well, I now have all 14 DSPs split between the 2 HiperARCs just for an initial configuration, the the suspect DSP NAC is now resetting itself in slots 11-14, so that's all of them. I am now guessing it's a faulty NAC since I've been able to try other NACs in the slot and get a PRI up successfully. Just for mention, the card in question is hardware version 0.54.0 with software version 2.0.51 in case someone knows any tricks to try, but I really doubt there will be any fixes I can try since 6 other NACs are the same version and they all run normally. -Lee Lee Terrell wrote:
