1187.0. "CHIPCOM PSU's" by YUPPY::KENNEDYE (MISERABLE GEORDIE GIT) Mon Dec 20 1993 07:45

    
    Could anyone tell me the difference between the power supplies for the 
    Chipcom online Hub.
    
    FD-16896-01  5017PS
    FD-40458-01  5017PS-325
    
    I know the 325 stands for the wattage but is the 5017PS a higher
    wattage or lower.
    
    I ask because my customer has been ordering the 5017PS instead of
    the 5017PS-325 from Digital as this is the number a Digital employee
    gave him.
    
    If the 5017PS is a lower Wattage can I expect PSU's to blow up as they
    increase the cards in the Hub.
    
    Also is there a Chipcom notes file anywhere?

    In answer to my own note,
    
    I have been told that the 5017PS is 270 Watts.
    
    the 5017PS-325 is 325 Watts.
    
    So I will have problems if we continue to swap the 325W with 270W.
    
    However I am still confused, on my site there is a spare Chipcom PSU I
    checked it just in case. The box was sealed and labeled 5017PS model
    DT-A0101-AT (5017PS-2) the unit itself claims to be a model 15-00056
    there is however a label on the back panel beside the volage switch
    which says it is a 5017PS-325.
    
    Externally everything points to a 5017PS but once in situ it looks just 
    like a 325W. I am now going to have nightmares over the possibility 
    that when my primary PSU fails it swaps via Rctl mod to a lower wattage
    PSU which also blows up. Leaving entire floors without a network.

    Conned.......
    
    It seems that chipcom only make the 325Watt versions now. So although
    its packaged as a 5017PS it will be in fact a 325W power supply.
    
    However Digital still has two part numbers.
