[geeks] Another SGI/Octane question...

[Lionel Peterson]

My dual CPU Octane isn't booting (haven't tried too hard, yet), and I
need some help.

With my single CPU Octane, after I connect everything up, I press the
power button on the front, and the machine starts right up, with the
lightbar glowing white.

With the dual CPU Octane, as soon as I plug in the power cord, it
starts up, and the lightbar glows red.

Any ideas what is going on here? Does Red indicate a problem? Is there
some reason the power switch is being ignored on the second Octane?

Later tonight (after work) I plan on swapping out FRUs and seeing if I
can find a problem component (i.e. porcessor card, power supply,
etc...)

Thanks in advance for any help/assistance you can provide - links on
these kinds of problems greatly appreciated as well ;^)
