I put together a new computer based around the SS51G barebones, here's the parts:
P4 2.4B
256MB Crucial PC2700
Maxtor 6L020J1 20GB 7200RPM ATA133
Plextor PlexCombo 20/10/40-12A CD-RW/DVD-ROM
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
Everything works fine except for when it's POSTing. It takes about 1min to detect IDE drives; it just sits there saying "Detecting IDE devices..." then after a minute they appear and on to the next screen. But then get this, the HDD LED stays on the whole time the power is on. I checked my jumpers and the hard drive is a master on it's own channel and the CD-RW/DVD is a master on it's own channel. I haven't had a chance to put the system through any stress tests or anything yet because I barely had time to install Windows and the drivers to make sure it worked last night. While it appears to work fine, the fact that it takes so long to POST and then the HDD LED staying on kinda bugs me. Of course my first thought is that the HDD LED cable was backwards but the front panel LED/switches are all on one little connector thing and I would think that it would be set up right because the switches and other LED work fine and, well, Shuttle must mass produce these little bastards so I wouldn't think they'd just mess up mine hehe.
Have any of you with a SS51G ran into this problem? If not, do you have any advice still? I'm going to go home afer work and take the drive cage out and recheck the jumpers against what it says on the actual drive label and not what the web site says because you never know... I've already tried ensuring the IDE cables were in there good, and they sure are, but I'll reconnect them again just to be sure. Oh yeah, I also flashed to the newest BIOS on their web site, too. That didn't solve the problem.
