    Can't play back from 1U with 1 bad drive

    To my knowledge if a 1u server has a bad drive (bad as in amber light) the server should still function because of raid. However, if the drive is bad in that it won't even spin up, that might cause other symptoms. I would try and power up the server with the bad drive completely removed and see...

    1U only partially powers up

    My guess would be either possible failing power supply (easy to swap), or bad capacitors on the main board.

    Drive temps

    Was curious what some of you are getting in your dashboards regarding your average drive temperatures. I recently moved and have just connected all my k stuff in my new house. I'm getting around 37-39degrees. I know that's within specs, however I could swear they used to be lower when I was at...

    Interior shots of K-1500

    Is that a ddr2 memory stick on that motherboard? What size is it just out of curiousity?

    Help with a comatose K-6000?

    Josh... I know this is an old thread, but I have a player with the exact same symptoms and was wondering if a new power supply brought yours back to life?

    FOR SALE: New 1U server DVD Grandfathered 4X4tb

    Hello... how much are you asking?

    Unresponsive KPlayer... bad capacitor?

    Had a similar problem to yours. The power supply was failing, but was still providing enough power to make the machine power up, but it would hang at the bright blue light and never do a net connect. Swapped the power supply with one of my other players and it worked perfect again.

    Server Failure, Upgrade & Transfer Woes

    I have a 1u server. I once had 2 drives failures happen simultaneously when I only had two drives in my system in total! K had me send them not only the drives, but my server as well so they could get a better understanding of what had happened. My story did have a happy ending though. K was...

    1u server bezel doesn't make good contact with chassis

    Curious if anyone else has this issue... The faceplate/bezel for my 1u server no longer seems to sit perfectly flush against the chassis. As a result the front panel lights sometimes flicker on and off, or just don't light at all because the contacts on the back of the bezel are not making good...

    DVD CCA appeal "settled"?

    I am getting more confused as well. Line 1 of Becky's post, states that ANY Kaleidescape product "purchased from Kaleidescape prior to November 30, 2014" is a legacy product. This is every single system in existence as of today. This seems to imply if a 'new' user purchases a second hand system...

    DVD CCA appeal "settled"?

    I'm sure there has got to be a provision for replicating content when new drives are purchased. Obviously some users own 2 servers and this is a non-issue, but what if you only own one? You have no choice but to borrow one from another user (like I usually do) or have your dealer facilitate the...

    DVD CCA appeal "settled"?

    I have a specific question that perhaps Becky can hopefully answer. In the past, when K has released larger hard drives, I have purchased new drives through my dealer with KOS preloaded. I then borrow my brother-in-law's server. I remove his drives, place my new drives in his server and...
