Instructions indicate that this is a two-person job but I'll see how far I can get. ___end___ **GONG PROBLEM**: Wed Aug 15 19:50:06 GMT 2007 Back from GONG. Swapped failed DLT2 drive with DLT4 from workstation. Got as far as the restart, HD LEDs would not come on, checked reattached cables and the appeared good, no bent pins. Connections all secure. Alerted GONGops to problem. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Aug 15 20:52:35 GMT 2007 In fog and drizzle. ___end___ **GONG PROBLEM**: Wed Aug 15 22:18:35 GMT 2007 Got a response from Tim Purdy at GONG. Going down in the rain to try a few things. ___end___ **GONG PROBLEM**: Thu Aug 16 02:13:16 GMT 2007 Back from GONG. Spent afternoon playing musical drives troubleshooting what turned out to be a blown fuse in the SCSI system way up inside the Data Computer. Bad DLT drive from Monday may have also taken out two of the primary HDs. Tim will check things out and they may need to be replaced with larger capacity units in spares. There may be termination issues in the Data SCSI system that may get resolved with the replacement HDs. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Thu Aug 16 02:18:24 GMT 2007 Still socked in with fog and rain all afternoon. ___end___ Thu Aug 16 02:19:03 GMT 2007 MkIV
