Well, I installed the HBA card and my 12 new disks; everything went well. Thank you for all your time and hard work. Respectfully John

OK, the parity check completed without any problems. So I am going to install the SAS card with the other drives and see what happens. Respectfully

Can someone walk me through how to install this? I don't understand CSS, and when I looked at the installation section, there are two boxes: one for CSS and the bottom one for black, and both already have code in them. So what do I do? Thanks

Sir, just installed the new CPU; it's the same as before, and I'm running a parity check now. Also, I made the BIOS changes you suggested, and I changed the syslog mirror; it is no longer set to the boot drive. Let's see what happens; Respectfully John

Sir, Thank you and the system will stay off, I will start looking for a new cpu, is theres any around and not a arm and a leg for them. Thanks again and I will let you know when I get the cpu installed. Respectfully John

I just tries to login to the sever but there was no response from it. I had to do a hard restart to get it going again, here is the log for you to review. I have never had this problem before. Doing a soft shut down until some can tell me what is going with it. Thanks tower-diagnostics-20261003-1424.zip

I woke this morming and found the arry off line, went to download the diagnostics for it and I lost the login screen. Had to do a hard restart to get it to login. Here is the diagnostics for it. I have no clue to what is wrong with it. gin.zip

Sorry, I already have it on Pariet Sync; we will know in a day and a half. Thanks.

That was wired when I logged into start the parity check the arry was off line and I had to rest my drived to there correct postitions. Then I started the arry and Parity but arry names and a few small things chaged, it went back to light mode, name of the arry changed. strange

Sir, The Power Supply Idle Control is set to Typical Current Idle, so no change was needed, and I removed the SAS card from the system. As soon as it boots up, I will try another parity check. Thanks for your help with all of this. Respectfully John

Well, the parity check failed again. Here are the diagnostics for it. I have no clue what is going on. I have 9 new drives I want to use, but I can't, sorry just venting olympus-diagnostics-20261002-0810.zip

Thank you for the info on the new config and how it works. The BIOS version is 5.80, dated 2/42026. I'm currently trying a parity check; I'll let you know what happens. Thanks John

Dumb question: should I have used the new config tool when I replaced the parity drives? I have no clue what this tool is used for.

Ok, just finished the memory test. It ran for 21 hours and 58 minutes, and everything passed. I also did the BIOS update and made sure everything was set correctly. Now I am going to bring the array back online and run a parity check; I am praying it goes well.
