I had a scary moment at lunch today with my server I use to
\nstream my music which is separate of course from my Web Server or my someday to
\nbe presented to the Internet game server.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/span>What happened <\/p>\n This KVM draws power off of the system <\/p>\n I then decided to \u201cRemote Desktop\u201d <\/p>\n So I decide to reboot my music <\/p>\n Finally I decided to take my system <\/p>\n I disconnected all cables <\/p>\n I attribute the cable slightly <\/p>\n Well after blowing the dust out and <\/p>\n Just another lesson to place items I had a scary moment at lunch today with my server I use to stream my music which is separate of course from my Web Server or my someday to be presented to the Internet game server.

\nwas I went to line up a few songs to listen too while at lunch and hit the KVM
\nswitch to go to the music server and the mouse would not work. Well no big deal
\nbut all of the sudden I couldn\u2019t connect to any of my systems via the KVM. <\/p>\n
\nbooted in the number one position. I think it also seems to sync the mouse and
\nkeyboard for the others as well. I had run into this before but I couldn\u2019t get
\naround it this time.<\/p>\n
\nin from another system and control the music from there but my KVM started
\ngiving an annoying beep and wasn\u2019t cleanly going to the other systems even
\nthough I rebooted them to sync with the KVM.<\/p>\n
\nsever only thing is that it gave 4 or 5 beeps and didn\u2019t boot. I then checked
\nthe connections and it got to SCSI bios but took forever to get past that and
\nboot the OS. Now I\u2019m thinking my boot drive may need replacing.<\/p>\n
\noutside to the backyard and show it whose boss! That\u2019s right I took that air
\ncan out there and blew all of the little dust balls out (there was mucho dust
\nballs).<\/p>\n
\nespecially the SCSI cables to my hard drives and blew them out and reconnected.
\nDoing this helped me notice that one of the SCSI connectors was slightly up off
\nof the connector. <\/span><\/p>\n
\nbeing off the connector to moving all of the systems down on my rack narrowing
\nthe space between them and then having my music server cables brushed by the
\nsystem above it as I slid that system above it in and out of the rack. I had
\nleft the top cover off of my music server and the cable sticking up slightly so
\nI could observe a new type of CPU fan.<\/p>\n
\nreseating the connections everything came up speedily and working fine! I then tucked
\nthe cables down and placed the top back on my music server to keep the dust out
\nand prevent bumping items in the system.<\/p>\n
\nback the way you need them when done with testing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
