Checked the sockets, everything looked ok. What happens is the hard drive will spin up twice and then just go into standby mode, meanwhile the emax is searching through scsi finding nothing... then if I leave the emax on just sitting there searching scsi for atleast 5-10mins and restart the hard drive will kick in instantly. And will do so until I turn it off for an extended period of time. It's almost like something is discharged after a while and then it takes 5-10 mins to charge it back up before the hard drive will kick. Any ideas? --- In emax@yahoogroups.com, "emax_dx5" <cadena100rb@...> wrote: > > I had some similar problem, in my case it was a bad power supply connection.

It seems I need to wait for something to warm up before the hard drive will kick on.
