Disk with orange light (IBM X3400M3)

wow posting hard RAID questions here and not on actual IBM forum,. why do that? i can do HP or dell but not IBM on dell R710 it is automatic raid 6 (8 drives) can fail 2 and run. what raid hardware is it Ibm What raid card there/ is this RAID 6?????? if not why not. how big is each drive and now many,? drives did you read the raid controller manual first, after all no 2 servers on earth work the same unless are EXACTLY the same. fact key not told. IF IT CAN DO HOT SWAP NEW DRIVER IT CAN TAKE DAYS TO SELF REPAIR. all the time production never ends only a tad slower, the whole reason for that. no need disable the server. why not get help here 2012 seems poor support now. 10 years later, IBM is that bad? https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/installation-and-users-guide-ibm-system-x3400-m3-7378-7379 real help. this system Base config has only this., x3400 M3 models include an IBM ServeRAID® - BR10ilV2 controller??????????? IBM ServeRAID® - BR10ilV2 controller, providing RAID-0/1/1E support. The IBM ServeRAID and best. -M1015 controller, providing RAID-0/1/10 with an option to upgrade to RAID 5 is standard on 8-drive 2.5-inch models, while the ServeRAID-5014 controller, which provides RAID-0/1/10/5/50 support (upgrade-able to RAID-6/60) and includes 256GB of cache memory, is standard on 16-drive 2.5-inch models. I have a m1015 here, that it cross loaded LSI rom too.. cheap to buy and easy to convert so know about it. what you have inside our server is any ones guess. and recover tools. WHAT YOU DO find out what raid card is there then get the IBM manual on it the ask admin what raid is or run the RAID app and look first free old manual is here https://www.manua.ls/ibm/system-x-x3400-m3/manual read the manual on our raid card first. read it and now to do recovery. system load out and CTO not told so answers will be endless. or even wrong. nobody can see inside your box.

My computer is slow. What can I do without

Depends- where is it exactly slow? is it while surfing the internet, or when running progrmas? either way, you can make it go faster.
If your internet is slow, you should scan your computer for viruses and spyware using suitable programs(for example- avast anti virus or spybot). If you still experience the same problem I would advise you to delete the computer after backing it up, and then installing a new copy of Windows.

if your problem is with programs running slowly- I can advise you to download this software, which can extremely help- CCleaner

How do i access the power jack on my ibm thinkpad

To access the Power jack you need to disassemble to entire system.
Make sure remove power, battery then Memory and HDD. The CMOS battery must be remove also before do anything, (Or plug off from Motherboard) Any metal touches on board while battery is on, will destroy the motherboard. So make sure do not drop any screw on board with battery is on(CMOS) Or touch with screwdriver.
You need to parted out everythink with care and put aside by taking notes. every screw sizes different, wrong assembling will result the system not to power on again. Line up what ever taking off with care.
If you do so, make sure every socket you remove, seats back tide and nice, ANY banding, or HARD push will break parts, so be gentle. Do not band Motherboard, casues the copper lines cracks on board, result does not power on or even fry the board. If you will solder the Power jack, You need to be carefull, not to leak any leads on board or solder over used. To make sure you need also OHM meter to check the connections are ok. Reverse is important, be carefull and take your time if you want your system runs again. Mean time clean your fan system. You will need this.
If you do not experiences before, do not do anything. Take it to Tech.
I am not responsible what ever wrong doing because I advice to you something, what ever you do, it is your own risk. and Goodluck.

Need to make laptop notebook packard bell dvd region free locked on o1

You can only change the region code up to 4 times then it locks on the last change.
There are some firmware upgrades that can change the drive to region free, if you can screw it up or put in the wrong frmware upgrade then the DVD drive will be a piece on junk.
I suggest you install a region free software that will allow you to play any region DVDs.
Go to www.dvdidle.com to get their Region-Free software, it is not very expensive.
