ML115 G5 Freezes

[Karl Irons]

Hi

I have two ML115 G5 servers, if I plug an external USB HDD into either of them within a few seconds they freez up and the only way to restore them is to kill the power and re-boot.

Both are running SBS2003 on seperate networks. Anyone tell me what I am missing please?

Sorry, mistake, one is running Win Server 2003 not SBS 2003 and is the main problem I have.

The SBS server seems to have fixed its self!

Are you using the latest system BIOS? Several USB issues were resolved with later releases:

You might want to use the firmware update DVD to make sure everything else is up to date.
