Rep Power: 7  | bcm down.... ahhhhhhH! Good morning. I have a bcm that took a power surge on Thursday. It took out the power supply (which by the way for all people that aren't under a service contract, you can get one from your local computer shop!) and then later we found out that it took out a dsm 32 media bay module. We found that was the issue because after swapping out the power supply, it still didn't fire up. After removing the dsm, presto, it came up. Anyway, I had another dsm sent to me, and when I plugged it in, nothing. I completely powered down the bcm, inserted the dsm in, and still nothing. The fan kicks on for a brief second, so there is a short. I have a PRI coming into the switch, an extra DTI card with nothing plugged into it, and 2 dsm 32 digital cards. I assume the other DTI card is a "hot spare", is this correct? If so, can I put the good dsm card in its spot until we can get the board replaced? HELP!!!! Thx Angler | ||||||||

Location: Meechigan Rep Power: 5 Gender:  Country:  | If you have an available, good slot, DN's and port numbers will be the same. (port/dn's are set/controlled by dip switches on the card, so make sure your "new" DSM's dip switches are set the same as the bad one). As far as hot swappable, I have never tried it, but I would say NO. | ||||||||

Rep Power: 7 | Thats what I thought, thank you. Of course as a precaution, I always turn the power off before adding/removing components, since it is basically a pc. Scary that a "trained" technician would suggest that!! At any rate, I believe that I still need a bcm backplane module, but nobody seems to know what I'm talking about, even after giving them the nortel part number! | ||||||||
