a 1GB hard drive sold three years ago is an 8GB hard drive.
There is a complete list of the RAC6000 replacement parts on the Allen-Bradley CST
Website and Distributor Extranet Website. This document contains not only a summary
list, but also shows replacement parts by option letter including functional replacement
suggestions. A large portion of the RAC6000 replacement parts is in the GTS Repair
Parts inventories. The parts can also be ordered directly through Passport for non-
warranty repairs or upgrades.
Starting in the summer 2000, all RAC6000 computers will ship with the AMIDIAG
hardware diagnostic utility. This software tool provides basic hardware testing capability
to verify that all the computer’s features are operational. The purpose of this tool is so
that customer can work in conjunction with Allen-Bradley Technical Support to quickly
diagnose computer hardware and software problems.
In addition to the AMIDIAG hardware diagnostic utility, Allen-Bradley can also make
available the Western Digital WDDIAG hard drive test utility. WDDIAG allows a user
to verify the health of a hard drive, as well as perform vendor-specific diagnostics on the
unit.
