    New system - a few issues

    Hi,

    I have used my build number in the "Order number" field.

    I have just received my new 3xs system today. Thank you for all the work you have put into it. I am very pleased with the computer however there are some issues:

    1) The big fan on the top of the case is not working. It doesn't move at all. Should it always move or only when the system requires it? Anyway, when I turn on the PC, the fan doesn't move.

    2) The wireless card doesn't work. ( http://yfrog.com/0ucapturevnp ) On the back the led lights of the card are off and I can't connect to the internet. The card doesn't appear listed in the "device manager". FYI: The one thing that I did with the card is I have screwed on it the 3 antennas.

    3) When I boot the system, it does load windows as it should; however, I have noticed some weird text during the boot process and I am wondering if I should be worried. The text says "No hard disk is detected". Screenshot here: http://yfrog.com/6zimg0724ebj

    These issues where present as soon as I turned on the PC for the first time after I took it out of the box. I have not installed new software or hardware.

    I would be grateful for some help with these issues.
    Thank you in advance for your time.

    Your fan may have disconnected from the fan connector due to all the packaging within the case. I remember one of my fans not working and I simply had to plug it back in.

    I also get the identical message for point 3. It must be the RAID setup as mentioned.

    i think scan put in the cables for an additional hard disc if you want one thats why it says disc not detected, the other two just need connecting

    Re: New system - a few issues

    Thanks a lot for your replies.
    You are correct about the hard disk message and also that I shouldn't worry about it.

    I have received a reply from scan support (Sanjay) today. You might be interested in knowing what he said:
    "...if you connect a drive to the E-SATA port then it will recognise a drive connected, otherwise it will say no hard disk...."

    With regards to the top 200mm fan (Antec 900 case), it was connected to the motherboard and I could not see any other problem. I tried disconnecting it and reconnecting it again but no luck. So I disconnected it from the motherboard and connected it directly to a power cable from the psu. The fan now works.

    With regards to the Edimax wireless PCI card, as Sanjay suggested, I removed it from the motherboard and installed it again. It got probably a bit loose from the travel. Anyway, the card is now working and I can finally connect to the internet.

    My beast of a system is finally 100% functional.

    Thank you Scan, Paul, Philip, Sanjay and anybody else involved in building my computer.

    Thanks also for the help in this thread guys.
