[rescue] E450 wiping as we speak...

[Mike Hebel]

If I'm going to do them one by one I'll probably just plug them into 
the 711 box I have that already runs an internal SCA.

It occurs to me after posting though that I'd have to do the rack one 
"half" at a time if I can connect directly to it.  I'll just have to 
wait until I get it home.

Failing anything I _know_ I can down my Netra 150 and plug all 10 
drives into that box and a laptop into the bus because that box is the 
one that you connect the internal JBOD to the bus via an external 
cable.
