The answer is that 180W power supplies are needed and the newer high-speed
fans are strongly suggested. Now we will get to see if it will work with
the old BA350-LB shelf that is in place (I have a BA365-xx that I can swap
around if it doesn't).
For any of you with AS8400's that are looking for these parts:
DS-BA35X-HJ 180W DC Power Supply, Blue (this has the 48V DC connector
used on the AS8400's)
DS-BA35X-MK High Speed Blowers, Blue
Blue seems to be the only color they (and the new disks) come in.
Original question:

Thanks,
