Couple of more pics just for clarity.  This unit is "supposed" to automatically turn on when power is applied.  I have found this to be a bit hit and miss.  On the outside of the unit, all you see is a power led, but when you open the case, there's a large block attached to the backside of the face plate.  Within this block are more leds for things like network activity, hard drive activity, etc.  Above those leds are two switches, one for power, one for restart.  When facing the unit, the left one is for power.  I drilled a 1/4" hole in the face plate to allow me access to it from the outside.

Pics of the JWD jumper location and pics of the sockets on the board added.

Thanks!

FYI:  The WXC 590 has one of these processors in it, and 1 empty socket for an additional processor.  4GB of RAM as well.

http://ark.intel.com/products/27091/64-bit-Intel-Xeon-Processor-3_80-GHz-2M-Cache-800-MHz-FSB

It also has [2] 250GB SATA drives and a 1GB CompactFlash Card (mine did) with an IDE adapter inside.

I could pop off the heatsink and take a look...

Test with 30MB file...

1st Pass:
1MB = 8Mbps

2nd Pass:
3MB = 21Mbps

We have a 20Mbps connection between sites, so not too bad... Our current solution is lucky to achieve 4Mbps.  The WXC 590 has 2 sockets, only 1 is filled right now, so there's room for improvement.

To confirm, it will boot off the SATA drives in the front.  I have the one on the left for WANOS and the one on the right for the database.  I'll do the other unit and do a bench trial.

Thank you again for all of your help!  Great product and support here!   8) 8) 8)

I got it... there's a jumper on the mother board of the Juniper WXC 590 labeled JWD... care to take a guess what WD stands for?   ;)

Remove the jumper completely... no more reboots. 

It has 2 drives in the front SATA0 and SATA1.  I'm using SATA0 as the database drive and inside I'm using the IDE1 interface to boot from.  I'm wondering if the BIOS is already has all boot devices enabled and listed in boot order and if I could use SATA0 to boot from and SATA1 as the database drive? 

I'm going to play with it some more and see if I can.  It's running stable now.  I'll get the other one up and running and time for some tests!  Thanks!

Have you ever had an issue with a random reboot?  It's not quite random though, it happens about 5 min after it boots.  I hear the fans go to high speed, turn around and notice the card is in bypass.  See the hard drive led pulsing like it's booting up and I hear the nic 'click' out of bypass and all is well again for 5-6 min.  Is there a log to see what the cause might be?

 ???

Nevermind, syntax error on my part... it works!  Boots up and turns off bypass automatically when it's finished booting!

That's awesome...  Now I'm on to getting these SATA drives in it hooked up so I can use them to store the database on.

Thanks for all of your help!

With some tweaking it does work on a Juniper WXC 590 without a monitor ;-)

BINGO!

I never could get the serial to function, so I improvised.  I actually edited the mactab file to point wan0 at the silicom and lan0 at the integrated nic (mgmnt), this way I could still SSH into it on the network.  After that, I ran the echo off script to verify I could disable the bypass, it did... then I ran the other script to add it to wanos for automatically shutting it off.  I restarted (sudo reboot) and it stayed in bypass off.  Then I added the other MAC on the silicom as lan0, restarted (sudo reboot) and it stayed in bypass off... However, after powering it down (sudo poweroff) and restarting it, it is in bypass again.

Ok, I tried a null modem cable and didn't get anything on serial...  Do I need a specific pinout?

I got it to bypass... I pulled the card and stuck it in another machine so that I could see what I was doing.

It was bypass_wan0... not bypass_eth0.

Ok, so now that I have it working in a regular computer and I can turn the bypass on and off sending that command.  If I turn it off, then run the clean.sh script and send the drive and card back over to the Juniper, will it still function correctly?  Or do I need to turn it back off again once it is installed in the Juniper?

Edited the mactab and bootsync.sh files... restarted... card was in bypass, no connection.  pulled drive and changed mactab back to other interface... reinstalled into Juniper and connected again. 

Ran the bypass on/off command:
tc@wanos:~$ sudo echo "off" > /proc/net/bypass/bypass_eth0/bypass
-sh: can't create /proc/net/bypass/bypass_eth0/bypass: nonexistent directory
tc@wanos:~$ sudo echo "off" > /proc/net/bypass/bypass_eth0/bypass
-sh: can't create /proc/net/bypass/bypass_eth0/bypass: nonexistent directory

Obviously, nothing happens as a result.

Seems I'm missing something... I double checked and triple checked the MAC address to make sure I entered them right.  They are, but when it booted up, the card was still lit up in bypass.  Even though the bootsync.sh file shows BPoff=1

We're close!

Got the image installed and it does see the network interface now.  See attached.  How do I toggle bypass on the card?  It is loading up in bypass mode.

Not familiar with qemu-img, but I think it converted to a sparse raw image. Not sure if it will boot. Taking a look into it.

Edit: Writing the sparse raw disk created by qemu-img to HDD did not work.

What do you recommend?

Download and extract the VHD version of v.2.0.5 (It uses the older kernel)
Convert the VHD to RAW disk image format. It should create a 64GB disk image.

I'm getting about an 8GB raw image file, is that correct?  I'm using qemu-img for Windows to do it.
