Subject: [powerstation-owners] Orange Exclamation Point LED
Message-ID: <20091106061959.GA3304@jenkins.home.ifup.org>

Hello-

I have a PowerStation that has an Orange LED under an Exclamation
point icon that lights up as soon as I power up the machine.

I have tried booting up the machine with:

1) a null modem cable plugged into the serial ports (19200 baud)
2) a RJ45 -> DB9 cable (not original, perhaps wrong pinout) at 19200
baud in the debug port
3) a monitor plugged into both dvi ports

None of these outputs are showing any signs of life. The DVD drive
does spin up for a bit when there is media in the drive but the Orange
LED persists.

What should I check? I have reseated the drives and cards. Does
someone have the pinout for the debug port so I know that is correct?

Thanks,

	Brandon

The RJ45 configuration of the powerstation debug port is (by trial and
error):

Pin <-> RS232 line
6   <-> (TxD)
5   <-> (RxD)

Which is sufficient to get a serial console going.
