This may be a little off-topic, but I have to decide what to do
with a dead Alpha 2100.
I suspect that the power supplies may both be fried because the
machine was shoved against a wall and boxes of garbage piled on it (yes,
while it was running).
What I need to know first is, are the power supplies dual redundant?
I have always had to turn them both on to get the system to start. Now when
I turn them on, it runs for a few seconds, long enough the spin up the
blowers, and then dies. All of the fans seem to be working.
Should I try replacing a power supply, or both? Could there be a
fuse or current limiter of some type that I should check?
And, finally, does Tru64 log power supply problems by installation
defaults? I've never seen a message about that.
BTW, I already have a boat anchor, and this machine is too heavy for
my boat anyway.
thanks
