Always have to re power cycle 003R.....

[Dogcode]

If I leave the 003R on for an extended period of time (say overnight) and try to fire up PT, it hangs up on setting up periferals. I always have to do a fresh recycle of 003R to get PT to launch. I`ve tried 4 or 5 different firewire cables and nothing changes. Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks

Is it mounted in a rack with other stuff packed tight against it? Just wondering if adjacent rack pieces are getting really hot and messing with the 003. First I've heard of this myself.

I think the keyword is peripherals.....is the someting thats pluged into the computer or 002 thats gone to sleep? mice? MIDI gear? I'm guessing its looking for something. What happens if you trash prefs b4 launching?

[Dogcode]

The rack is mounted clear of any other gear. Here is the chain.....mac/PPA Firewire drive/WD firewire drive/003Rack. I cant think of anything that would be going to sleep.

Where I work on one of the edit workstations we have a similar problem with a MBox 2 Pro. That one we don't have to recycle anything we just have to disconnect the FW cable, then reconnect it. After that PT sees the MBox.

You say it stops at setting up peripherals and I see that you have a Control|24. When this happens, can you check your Ethernet connections and see if they are properly detected? Are you using a hub, switch or other device between the computer and your Control|24? Are there any other devices connected to your computer?

This was happening before I purchased the control 24. I am not using a hub and no other devices are connected. The firewire light is on on the back of the 003, but after extended period of time being on, PT wont see it without a restart of the 003.

sorry.........just a bump

So, all that you need to do to get it to boot properly is power cycle the 003R?

Have you tried different FW ports on the computer?
