Recommended Action

1.Run the Compaq Array Configuration Utility.

2.Turn off the system and check SCSI cable connections to make sure drives are properly attached.

3.Run the Compaq System Configuration Utility.

4.Turn system power OFF and swap SCSI port connectors to prevent data loss.

5-6. Run Array Diagnostic Utility if previous positions are unknown. Then turn system power OFF and move drives to their original positions.

7.To avoid data loss, turn the system power OFF and reattach drives to the original controller.

8.To avoid data loss, reattach drives to original controller or upgrade controller firmware to the version on the original controller using Options ROMPaq.

Press F1 to resume.

The message normally appears when a drive was replaced in a fault-tolerant configuration with system power off. In this case, press F1 to start the automatic data recovery process.

The “previously aborted” version of the 1786 POST message will appear if the previous rebuild attempt was aborted for any reason. Run Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU) for more information. If the replacement drive was failed, try using another replacement drive. If rebuild was aborted due to a read error from another physical drive in the array, you’ll need to back up all readable data on the array, run Diagnostics Surface Analysis, and then restore your data.
