2015 - Summary/Objective
2016 -
201601 - Follow up ref SDS 23 0000, ref SDS 9 0000.
201602 -
201603 - When I got up this morning, pressed shift key on c13 and waited for
201604 - the monitor to come up, as it normally does.
201605 -
201606 - The last task performed was a full file backup, ref SDS 22 0001, to
201607 - capture the configuration from the installing the full "retail"
201608 - version of w2k, on 010214. ref SDS 23 0001
201609 -
201610 - This time the monitor did not wake up.  Hit shift key again, still no
201611 - monitor.  Pressed Enter, nothing -- over the span of 10 minutes or
201612 - so.
201613 -
201614 -      [On 010403 same thing happened again. ref SDS 25 0001
201615 -
201616 -      [On 010411 happened again. ref SDS 26 0001
201617 -
201618 -      [On 010419 called Exabyte. ref SDS 27 CF3H
201619 -
201620 - Tried Ctrl Alt Del to open the Task Manager; this failed.
201621 -
201622 - Pressed re-set button on CPU, and this re-started the computer.
201623 -
201624 - The system did not run scan disk prior to booting up, as Windows
201625 - operating systems typically do when a proper shut down does not
201626 - occur.
201627 -
201628 - System came normally.
201629 - ..
201630 - Checked the backup that was done last night, per above.
201631 -
201632 - The backup appears to have completed successfully; but, the verify
201633 - operation seems to have halted somewhere on the g: drive. ref SDS 24
201634 - 0001
201635 -
201636 - This is similar to the blue screen Stop failure that occurred during a
201637 - verify operation prior to starting the installation of w2k on 010214.
201638 - ref SDS 22 8J8F
201639 -
201640 - The record may point to a problem with Novaback verify program, and
201641 - w2k, and/or something in the P4 D850GB system.
201642 -
201643 - Possibly there is a problem with w2k suspend that turns the monitor
201644 - and hard drive off after 20 minutes, set on 010202, ref SDS 9 QY4K,
201645 - and again on 010214 when w2k full "retail" version was installed per
201646 - Microsoft request. ref SDS 23 NX5O
201647 -
201648 -
201649 -  ..
201650 - Intel CD Power Management Monitor
201651 -
201652 - There is a Power Management option on the CD that came with the Intel
201653 - D850GB main board.
201654 -
201655 - The description Intel provides is that this program shuts down w2k
201656 - Power Management and substitutes control by something else, presumably
201657 - the BIOS.  This seems like it would require changing the BIOS to
201658 - enable Power Management, since it was disabled manually on 010202.
201659 - ref SDS 9 QY4K
201660 -
201661 - However, Intel's program turns out to be a lot of detailed temperature
201662 - and voltage diagnostics, that seem useful for a control room operator,
201663 - but not for a personal computer user.  I do not ming having the
201664 - program installed, if it produced an alert when conditions warranted
201665 - attention.  In fact the program indicates it is designed to do that.
201666 - However, it places an icon on the Task bar next to the time in the
201667 - lower, right corner.   This is a nusiance, since presumably, if
201668 - everything works properbly, there will never be any action required
201669 - for this item on the Task Bar.
201670 -
201671 - Therefore, removed this program, since it does nothing about improving
201672 - Power Management conflicts that seem to provide a strong solution for
201673 - problems using w2k Power Management.
201674 -
201675 - Per below, for the time being will disable all Power Management on
201676 - c13.

2020 -
202001 - Trying another backup on tape 16 to see if we can replicate a crash
202002 - during the backup or during verify, reported in another record.
202003 - ref SDS 24 667M

2024 -
202401 - Verify completed without an error, reported in another record.
202402 - ref SDS 24 P59O
202403 -
202404 -    Since Power Management has been disabled in the BIOS and in W2K,
202405 -    this may have enabled verify to run successfully, since the monitor
202406 -    and hard drive did not enter suspend mode.
202407 -
202408 - Will let system wait for 20 minutes or so before resuming activity.

202413 - W2K Power Management Turned Off
202414 - Power Management D850GB Intel Main Board with W2K
202415 - D850GB Intel Main Board Power Management
202416 -
202417 - Follow up ref SDS 23 MT2R, ref SDS 9 AH4K.
202418 -
202419 - As a result of system crash reported above, where the monitor and hard
202420 - drive would not return from "off" in suspend mode,
202421 - changed these settings back to the original OEM
202422 - condition.
202423 -
202424 - Power Management settings for W2K are now set to "never."
202425 -
202426 - Power Management in BIOS was reported disabled on 010202. ref SDS 9
202427 - QY4K
202428 -
202429 -     A few weeks later, tried original w2k power management settings
202430 -     shown on 010202, ref SDS 9 056F, and disabling power management in
202431 -     the Intel BIOS, also mentioned on 010202. ref SDS 9 QY4K
202432 -
202433 -     This combinaion of using only suspend power management settings
202434 -     for w2, and not using stand by nor hibernation, and disabling
202435 -     power management in the BIOS, seems to work.
