MDM Trouble Report for 2003 Nov 23

Telescope: 1.3m
Observer(s): Onken (OSU)
Instrument: CCDS

Problem(s) Encountered:
Two problems again tonight:

1. At first, the lamp GUI wouldn't respond. A few moments later
it gave me another 'asynchronous memory fault' and rebooted
Kilauea. I tried just getting the system going again without 
shutting it all down first, but the xmis kept hanging up on
initialization. Probably, I just needed to reboot the MIS
computer, but I didn't realize that right away. So I finally
shut everything down and started from the beginning (now even 
knowing where the IE is). In my struggles to get it all going
again, it seemed that you needed to have the WC powered up 
before turning on the IC (which is contrary to the Propero
troubleshooting guide) in order to find the SCSI hard drives.
Eventually I got it working.

2. Near the end of the night, the finder mirror stopped moving
again. I pulled out the fuse and thought it looked okay
(checking more carefully than the other night). I found a
replacement fuse in the shop room, just in case. I put in the
new fuse and nothing happened. So I closed up the dome and put
the telescope at the zenith. Then I went and poked at the finder
mirror gear with my finger and it started moving. It looked like
it was working, so to see if it was just stuck before, I put 
the old fuse back in. It didn't work, so I put the new one in
again, and it still didn't work. I don't know what's going on.
