Amar Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Dear Sir, I am having Windows 8 as my OS. I have installed Power PMAC IDE (Ver 2.2.0.39). We have two types of PPMAC CPU i.e. AMP86xxx (465) and 460EX. My Power PMAC IDE is communicating properly with 460EX which is having firmware 2.1.0.39 but not with AMP86xxx (465) which is having latest firmware 2.1.1.3. Kindly reply at the earliest...

Jay Lee Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hi Amar, Could you explain more about the issue? with 465 CPU, can you open IDE and communicate? If you can get into IDE, then under what condition does it fail communication when it's in IDE already? We would like to have more info on the failure.

No. I am not able to establish connection with CUP 465 at any instance. Even its not pinging. First time I am trying to connect with CUP 465. Before that I was working on CUP 460. And every thing is fine with CPU 460. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Lee Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hi Amar, Is this a direct connection between your PC and PMAC? or is it through a switch/router ? if it's through a switch, what is the connection speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Anikstein Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Just to make sure, you are trying to communicate at the default IP Address (192.168.0.200)? To verify the IP Address of the 465 CPU, can you take an empty flash drive, create an empty folder on it named "PowerPmacIP", insert it into the 465 CPU while it is powered off, and then power the unit on? Once the unit has fully powered on, it will create some files in there. Please take the file "interfaces" (no extension), rename it "interfaces.zzz" (with ".zzz" as the extension), and email it to support at deltatau dot com.

kmonroe023 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I wonder if Amar is trying to connect to the ETH0 port using a network adapter that is configured for 100Mb/sec. The ETH0 port on the 465 PMAC is Gigabit only. It will not auto-negotiate down to 100M. He'll either need to setup ETH1 using the Usb stick method, or connect to ETH0 using a NIC card with Gigabit capability.

NigelInWindsor Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I can only get the 86xxx to work at 1000 baud When connected via a switch that is limited to 100 baud it fails to ping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I just tested this and uPower PMAC does communicate at 100BASE-T. Your switch may have Tx/Rx auto negotiation issues - try using a crossover cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amar Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Dear All, Thank you very much for yours valuable feedback.. I already tried all these things but nothing is worked.
