[rescue] SGI/Clariion 5400 question

[Francois Dion]

to get the write cache going, but before I sink more money in it, I
just want to make sure it works.

When I connect to either serial ports I get this:

Is that normal that it stops here?

Also, all the drive leds are green but the yellow warning light in the
front right is lighted, above the green led.
