I already seen soft adress / hard adress problem on a F7xx filer we solved the problem in two possible way : - either put an FC terminator on the last shelf (work around), - either exchange the FC module on the shelf which have problem, or all the shelf (if your shelf is FC7 try to change it for a FC9 model)
Note : si vous êtes intéressé par une action de maintien en condition opérationnel - avec support en français - passez nous un coup de fil : O1.41.73.20.16 et demandez moi : Stéphane Bentebba.
