1893.0. "SCSI cable cut in AS600" by KAOFS::R_SIEMENS () Fri Mar 14 1997 13:04

    There seems to be a problem in the manufacture process of the AS600.
    If you look at the chassis where the SCSI cable passes from the IO area
    tothe drive area, there is a Burr that can (and has) cut the SCSI
    cable.  I've looked at several AS600's and they all have the same
    prolbem.  Be Aware.
    
    It would be nice if manufacturing could address this issue(file off the
    burr) early in the product life cycle.
    
    IMHO
    Thanks

    I installed 15 AlphaStation 600 systems last week.  The newer systems
    had a semi transparent yellow tape wrapped where the cable passed
    through to the I/O cavity.  Perhaps someone in engineering, or
    manufacturing saw this as a problem.  
    
    There used to be a process to resolve these types of issues called Tech
    Tips.  A Tech Tip was a tool the field used to identify problems, and
    get ECOs, or FCOs generated.

1893.2still bad with tapeKAOFS::R_SIEMENSWed Mar 19 1997 12:387
    This system actually had this tape on it.  It didn't help.
    
    I got in a new cable...it had no tape.  So we put some tape over the
    burr.  I hope that will do it.
