Hello, I am new to PMAC and this forum community, and I would appreciate for your helps to solve my Turbo PMAC 2 issues:
TYP TURBO2, X4
VER 1.940
CID 603382
The following events were some of descriptions of the problem:
1) The host PC won't power up due to bad mother board. Replaced new same type (OS) of PC with original HD. After powering up the equipment and host PC, the equipment booted up, but I didn't complete initialization (stuck in "Homing in process")
2) Then I communicated with Turbo PMAC2 controller via serial port and went reset sequences ( $$$*** SAVE $$$) and performed download old back up CFG from my PC to controller and it completed without errors (note: before it downloaded, PEWIN32 asked for "yes" or "No" to CHECKSUM and I selected "yes").
3) After the backup of CFG from PC to controller, the equipment won't go to initialization sequences or startup process anymore.
I don't know the reset and backup CFG to controller caused the setup parameters corruptions. And one thing I noticed that PEWIN32 keeps displaying the (square100 is not valid floating-point value).
The question I have that: "does the controller need to install new firmware?"
Thanks in advance for your helps to troubleshooting the issues.
Best,
Loc
