Hi ,

i disagree on this point , i have another 840 it does not have this problem it go by its post check (sensor , watchog , pci scan , memory test , load os) and then it stop and scream : Charging battery dont move ... press control C to abort the charger . Then it resume the boot , once the battery is full .

but this 840 simply "freeze" somewhere between pci scan and memory test , nothing else .

is it a normal ?

I'm getting into this rather late, but has anyone told you yet that you need to charge the NVRAM battery in all F800 series filers before use? It usually takes 12-18 hrs to recharge and you CANNOT use the filer until this is done. There are instructions on how to do this on the NOW site. A new battery will come uncharged usually, so you'd have the same issue.

Hi,

the console and the lcd shows the same thing , i mean it depend of how loaded it is , if i leave all cards inside and so pci scan takes longer than if there is no card inside to it freeze at the pci scan , if i remove all cards , it jumps until Testing Memory and freeze at this point so its undependant of the boot stage , but dependant on the number of seconds since the power on .

thanks cb

Hook up the console and see what it says? Anything showing on the LED display?
