hi there - hoping for some advice / ideas / suggestions. I purchased a used 3U server in a good condition and got it shipped to me. It was working before and the seller validated this with Kaleidescape and also showed me the the functional system. I got it shipped to me and the server was well packaged although all hard discs were in the chassis which I was told was not ideal.
Anyway when I powered the device on, all discs are spun up with the exception of the last four one and K Support mentioned that these drives cannot be recognised and advised to swap the drives - good thing is the drives seem to work, bad thing is that there seems to be an issue with the backplane? As the device is no longer under warranty I opened it to check if there was anything broken and could not find anything. does anyone have any ideas what else I could check or what kind of 'spare parts' I should check?
appreciate any help...
