Recently, I experienced some problems with my "one month old" Cube.
A few days ago when I powered my cube up, I got a message
on the screen saying that the system failed on the power up test.  So I hit
the "power" key again to turn it off.  The OD was ejected then.  However, it 
was protected by hardware password...  
A few seconds later I turned the cube on again and everything seems to be fine.
Then yesterday when I turned on the cube, I got the same system failure 
message again.  I then enter the monitor and issued the boot command,
everything worked then.  Does anyone have any idea of what's going on with
my "one month old" cube?

I have a basic system (OD only with 8 meg RAM & 40 megs accelerator disk)
with a modem hooked to my Cube.  The modem was off when I turned on the Cube.
BTW, is it ok to turn the modem on/off when the cube's power is on?

Thanx.
