Ah..yes, I forgot about the MB clock battery as well.
I recall once at Netapp going to BatteriesPlus+ to get motorcycle chargers to send to Japan for a customer with flag NVRAM cells. _________________________________Jeff MohlerTech Yahoo, Storage Architect, Principal(831)454-6712TW: @PrincipalYahooYM: Supra89ta

Don't stand directly behind it when you turn it on. :-)
Semi-seriously though, I once had a very old original DS14 shelf p/s (the ones with the vertial bar handles) flame out at me. We'd just finished re-racking the rig, so I flipped on the breakers and moved down the row to start on the next one, when the p/s spat out a small and brief burst of smoke and spark.
It wouldn't have been harmful and probably wouldn't have even left a mark, but it was still a surprise.

Ive seen that, but at scale. Was in PS at Netapp, and I was asked to sit-in on a customer moving racks of 500s, 600s, and a few 700s from telco racks to cabinets. At the time the cabinets were 240v only. I was in another room...sit-in help as needed, I was not allowed in the DC.
They made a show of 'lets hit the breakers and turn on all 11 cabinets at once'. Most of them were full of shelves with 120v only power supplies, at the time I think that was "green button" supplies.
Lots of oil..lots of fire.
Replaced 100+ supplies with switching ones, and all was good in the end.
Them was the dayz..

I was once at a customer doing an upgrade on a massively parallel database environment. It was about 5 racks of little 1U servers with FCP connectivity. The timeouts for FCP were set to 0, meaning if you lose one single SCSI command, just reboot. That was legit for local disk, but not SAN.
Ever seen 200 servers reboot in perfect synchronization? I have. I was in the hot aisle, sandwiched between the servers and the storage system. As soon as the controller rebooted, it got very, very bright as all the LED’s on the backs of the servers lit up during self-test. Then it got very hot and loud as all the self-test progressed and all the fans spun up to maximum speed.

If you put the wrong p/s modules in the old fc7/8/9 shelves, you tended to get a slow-motion "rolling smoke" rather than flame out + sparks, usually with the silver 110's plugged into 208v, but YMMV. I've only seen that on a couple in a cabinet, but you don't forget it. :)
IIRC you wanted the green ones -- they auto-switched. Silver was 110v only, and there was a gold and a copper which were "better" in some fashion than silver, but I don't remember the details.
All better than the lil' brown DEC shelves ....

Maybe it was just some bits in the exhaust pipe when fired up and has to clean them out.. Almost like the Ford¹s that would recycle some of their diesel.. Makes a bit of a flame, but not so cool in the forest.. :) Thanks

Hello Jeff,
The F760 was a work horse back in its day so it should boot right up : ) I would be careful replacing the NVRAM and Motherboard batteries as the plastic housing on these got very brittle over the years. If you have access to compressed air it would be a good idea to try to blow as much of the dust off of the motherboard and fans before booting it back up. Also these F760 power supplies where notorious for the pull handle screws to break off inside the power supplies, would be a good idea to pull the power supplies out and give them a good shake to see if you can hear anything rattling.
Good Luck!!
Thanks Christian

Jeff....you of all must remember the hardware issue with the F700 series. FoxConn made a significant mistake when fabricating all the 700 series boards.
There were a number of conditions that automatically generated a fix-on failure by support. In fact, I think the F700 series was one of the shortest life-cycles I've seen.
There were significant promotions to get the F700 platform out of the field...

IIRC, F700 had problems with proximity of the onboard FCAL and Ethernet chips resulting in silent data corruption out of the onboard FCAL. The fix was to
- Use a PCI FCAL card
- Replace cables and terminators on the FCAL with higher grade components. There was also an LRC recall on FC7/8 shelves.
With all that, it was pretty solid and I don't remember any effort to get them out of the field. It was the flagship product when I started in 2000, and was still sold about a year later, even after introduction of F840.

IIRC, the main issue was noise if you used the onboard FCAL port. The summer of hell, 1999.
As a customer and at Netapp, I didnt recall any huge swap efforts there.
The lifetime was bound by the sudden realization that Intel was the future in CPUs, Compaq was quickly killing the DEC chips and long term supply was not in the cards.
Dos Equis was the name for HA Failover which first came on the 700s as well..

Oh...I will kindly correct you there my friend. I was deeply entrenched in 5.2 -> Dos Equis (two beers / two filers) This actually came out on the 600 series first....that shiny chrome bezel
Jim Squared (Helfrich/Coleman) had me out to HQ testing before it went to the field.
I flew all over the east coast upgrading customers to 5.2 and installing the hardware to make it work. The same Cluster card, if I recall, worked in the 700 series too

Hello Jeff,
The F760 was a work horse back in its day so it should boot right up :) I would be careful replacing the NVRAM and Motherboard batteries as the plastic housing on these got very brittle over the years. If you have access to compressed air it would be a good idea to try to blow as much of the dust off of the motherboard and fans before booting it back up. Also these F760 power supplies where notorious for the pull handle screws to break off inside the power supplies, would be a good idea to pull the power supplies out and give them a good shake to see if you can hear anything rattling.
Good Luck!!
Thanks Christian

Back in my day, we didn't need no rackmount servers. My first filers were old 1200/1400 desksides with non-hot-swappable drives. The 1400 managed to hit the 32 bit rollover at 497 days uptime.

The place I used to work at had the 760 cluster ... ah, memories.
I've got customers in the field still running these with the 36gb drives. It seems like the old drives never die. Whether it makes sense to pay $1000 3 or 4 times a year to have someone come onsite and swap an NVRAM board I'm not sure, but I guess they're happy with it so why rock the boat?

The F760 was a work horse back in its day so it should boot right up : ) I would be careful replacing the NVRAM and Motherboard batteries as the plastic housing on these got very brittle over the years. If you have access to compressed air it would be a good idea to try to blow as much of the dust off of the motherboard and fans before booting it back up. Also these F760 power supplies where notorious for the pull handle screws to break off inside the power supplies, would be a good idea to pull the power supplies out and give them a good shake to see if you can hear anything rattling.
Good Luck!!
Thanks Christian

This could be fun...and old F760 with say, 4 shelves of 36G drives..
Replace the NVRAM battery, check power supplies for leaking capacitor oil...reseat cards and DIMMS... What're the odds it'll work, and any other fire-prevention steps to take? :)
-Cheers
