Lucifer <LuciferMorningstar@bigpond.com>: Mar 04 07:26PM +1100 The server works as a single CPU unit but I want it all to work. There are two LEDs on the main board to show power on each CPU. The LEDs for CPU two are not lit.   2009 Intel Xserve (latest). Dual quad core Intel Xeon, 12 gigs RAM, 900 GB SAS HD.

Look165 <look165@numericable.fr>: Mar 04 12:09PM +0100 First check there are physically 2 CPU. Either on the board ans in the BIOS (and activated).   Lucifer a écrit le 04/03/2019 à 09:26 :

Any pointers to any Brother service apps would be greatly appreciated.   I'm on my 2nd Brother laser printer and have never seen a service app to my knowledge. Just out of curiosity, what is the intended use of the app?

HP all the way.

I tried and failed. The trick is that it should not evaporate, not creep, and has to be constant viscosity over a wide temperature range. If you read the optics forums, you'll find that volatized thread lubricant, deposited on the internal optics, is a really bad idea. This is not much of a problem with electronic controls, except perhaps security cameras inside waterproof domes. Creep is having the grease melt and drip all over the front panel and the owners fingers. Constant viscosity is needed to keep the controls from feeling loose when hot, and stuck when cold. I gave up on making my own and over-paid for the real stuff.   I suggest you NOT use silicone grease, which will creep and land on the resistance material of a potentiometer or contacts of a switch. Silicone grease is a good insulator and might produce a bad connection, especially when mixed with dust and dirt. If this happens, methinks the best cleaning solvents are hexane or Coleman camp fuel which is about 25% hexane, and a soapy water cleanup.     -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558

The particular plastic rails seems problematic. I tried everything I had including silicone damping fluid, not on resistance part. The only thing that works is absolute clean, or Deoxit after it's fully dried. I kept thinking some kind of thick stable grease. Silicone with TFE nope. Got kit ordered.   Greg

Sincerely,   JB, why not replace the disk drive with one of these? ::   <https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=thumb+drive ++3.5"+floppy+drive+emulator%2Csimulator&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_od kw=thumb+drive++3.5"+floppy+drive+%28emu>   It eliminates the diskette altogether and instead you use a USB flash drive "memory stick" to move songs to your computer.   These USB floppy drive replacements are drop-in, plug-in replacements with apparently no fuss.

I needed it to install Windows Server 2003 on a Sunfire server.

tdbridgman2@gmail.com: Mar 03 09:11PM -0800 Thank you! Turning off the switch AND unplugging the unit and waiting until the amber light went out, then plugging back in and turning on the switch, then holding surround mode for 5 seconds for reset worked! It ONLY worked when I followed that procedure. You have to BOTH un plug AND flip the switch off next to the plug.
