Changes

When we turned on Geo 2, the power and hard drive LED lights did not turn on. Dr. Jones and Brendan found that the wires for the power light both went to negative pins, so Brendan switched one to positive. However, the computer could not find a hard drive. After some unsuccessful attempts to fix the problem we found that the ribbon cable had not really been connected to the hard drive. The cable had been connected to a green IDE channel, but Dr. Jones switched it to the red one.

Dr. Jones had me turn on Geo 4. Again the computer did not find the hard drive. I switched the cable to the red IDE channel, and it found the hard drive then. In the process I turned the computer on and off several times. I pressed DEL to see the BIOS settings but did not see any changes I knew I should make. When “Red Hat Linux” appeared on the monitor, I fetched Dr. Jones and he knew what to do. On Geo 4 he had to change the configuration of a jumper that reminded me of the master and slave pins, but it was something else.

In Geo 4 there was a loose fan on a small heat sink. I was not sure which way it was blowing, but the way I put it, it scraped against the heat sink. Dr. Jones cut a cable tie in pieces to make supports for it.

I helped Jim discard the fish tank. I disconnected the hoses to take out the heaters and pumps, but one of the hoses in the right exclusion area started to pour out water. I thought it was residual water at first, but it just kept coming, and it leaked out of the exclusion area into the compartment for bending the fibers. I reconnected that hose, but the water came from the other hose instead. Then I noticed an open valve at the rear of the tank on the left that appeared to control water flow through one of the pipes. It might have been valve 3. I closed that valve and the water flow from the hoses stopped.
