Well, after quite a bit of research I have finally figured out what is wrong with my fourth rack mount system (dual Xeons). Something caused a diode to blow in the redundant 320w PSUs. We are going to try repairing the units but I am not overly hopefull this will succeed.
I was able to find a source for this brand of redundant PSU (3P Pacific Power Products). It appears that a new power module will cost $95 and a new unit altogether would cost $205. One of the good things about these units is that they have 32a on the 5volt line so running modern AMD CPUs should not be a problem. :)
While I was checking the two bad units I happened to find a 3rd bad unit...sigh. I also found that the dual Xeon mb is only booting one CPU at this time but I should be able to get that back online any day now. I'm working on upgrading my main system so I can replace one of the slower systems and work on raising my daily output. Well, I might not be able to increase my daily output as much as I had hoped this year but it should not be to bad.
Well, that's it for my trials and tribulations of the last few days.
Crunch on!
