Hi there,
We suspect that one of the SIPB server machines, dandelion-patch
(SN 717F066A, MIT tag 0319514), might have a bad CPU -- it's been
crashing repeatedly for the past few weeks, and swapping the
enclosure/power-supply, main board, and memory had no effect.
Could we swap in a replacement CPU for this machine? It currently
has a ROSS 150 Mhz Mbus module, RT626.
Also, in the process of swapping hardware for dandelion-patch to
diagnose the problem, we seem to have damaged the ROM monitor
chip from sipb-server-2 (formerly senator-bedfellow) (SN 423F3182,
MIT tag 0279673). Would it be possible to obtain a new chip, or
if you don't deal in such small parts, perhaps a new mainboard
for it?
If you could leave either of those in W20-575A, we can swap the
parts into the servers and return the old parts to you.
Thanks,
-- kolya
