RE: 501 reloading [7:58946]
Dave, Do not say yours gave up the ghost please do not say that LOL. Because mine does the exact same thing I just put it in my rack and leave it alone, anytime I have to recable my lab I turn it off because the slightest move of a cable and it reboots, and I hate doing it because my dsl line sometimes is hard to sync back up such an inconveyance.

Re: 501 reloading [7:58946]
I'm guessing that the power is being lost for a split second causing the reload but the power connecter always "looks" secure. The early 1600's had similiar problems but they changed the connector and they seem much better now. Maybe I'm just lucky or more abusive. If you set it up and never touch it it is fine but the slight moves that have caused reloads concern me.

Re: 501 reloading [7:58946]
I just got a reply back from the engineer at Cisco that RMAed the PIX. Yesterday he didn't know of any issues but he must have asked some peers as I got a email today verifying that I'm not yet totally off me rocker. Here is what info I received: It is a known issue. I will issue another RMA for you and power supply. However, I will mark them as "New from Manufacturing" to ensure that you get the proper pix. Apparently, there was a handfull of Pix that came out from our manufacturing with a design flaw. We have modified both the power connector on the 501, and depending on how old the power supply is, we also modified the connector on it as well. Considering the first RMA didn't fix the problem, I would switch out both the power supply and box with brand new ones just to be safe. Apparently an extreemly few customers actually run into this issue, hence no Field Notice was generated. I was "lucky enough to get two You may be another one of the "extremely few" ;) Dave "Arni V.

Re: 501 reloading [7:58946]
I am curious about something.. if you can test it. Is it that the connector is *loose* or it oxidizes? If it's oxidizing, then a shot of contact cleaner would be of help. I have salvaged several cisco switches this way when the contacts in the ports get a film of oxide on them. A cotton swab and a generous dose of cleaner can go long way. The better cleaners have inhibitors in the spray to help prevent or least slow down the rate of oxidation.

Is it that the connector is *loose* or it oxidizes? If it's oxidizing, then a shot of contact cleaner would be of help. I have salvaged several cisco switches this way when the contacts in the ports get a film of oxide on them. A cotton swab and a generous dose of cleaner can go long way. The better cleaners have inhibitors in the spray to help prevent or least slow down the rate of oxidation.

Re: 501 reloading [7:58946]
If you read my last post on this there is a known problem though Cisco says it's very rare and therefore no field notice or anything has been issued. This PIX I have on my desk right now I just got from Cisco 3 days ago so it's not oxidized!!

On the pix reloading this should make it easy for everyone if you reference this bug ID then you should be able to get it replaced no hassle. bug ID CSCdx55111 -Original Message- From: Howard C.
