3750X stack with broken 715W power supply

I have a stack of 2 WS-C3750X-48P 15.0(2)SE6 C3750E-IPBASEK9-M
Each switch has two 715W power supplies.
It happened one power supply is broken and stuck all stack. Why ?
Thanks to all
Alberto

Hi Charles, yes the 2 switches act like one stand alone sw
Switch 1 connected to Switch 2
and with the second cable,
Switch 2 connected to Switch 1
There are no stack power cables.
IOS c3750e-ipbasek9-mz.150-2.SE6.bin
Log now is 000455: Apr 21 11:00:31.065 UTC: %PLATFORM_ENV-1-FRU_PS_ACCESS: FRU Power Supply is not responding
I have only one electrical line to the rack
The problem is that a broken power supply caused to switch off all the rack.
In fact the master electrical switch of all the rack went down.
Last 3 months the same problem happened twice to two different stacks.
Is it possible a firmware bug ?
Tell me if you need further info. Thanks a lot

Mac Pro 2,1 Spontaneous Restart with No Boot - Power Supply PSU Problem?

One day I was working away on my Mac Pro 2,1 Quad Core 3.0 (2007) with 8 gb ram running Lion and it just shut itself off like someone pulled the power cord (but no one did of course). Then it attempted to restart, but wouldn't boot. Basically I haven't been able to use it since as I can't get the computer to stay on for any length of time.
I'm thinking its either the power supply or the, oh no, logic board.
Symptoms have been like this so far:
Initially I would get a chime and a boot start but then I would find the computer would shut itself off somewhere in the process and try to restart. Usually the next time I would get no chime and a horrible repeated clicking of my optical drive with a rythmic fan whirring up and down on the original ATI x1900 xt graphics card. I would have to manually power off with the power button to make it stop. Sometimes it would try to restart again anyway. The only way I could get a chime again was to unplug and wait (longer the better). But even if i got a chime and a start of a boot, invariably the computer would turn off again.
I couldn't boot from another source, I couldn't run apple hardware test, I couldn't run diagnostic,... it just wouldn't stay on to do it.
I hauled my mac pro (out of warranty) to the apple store genius bar and the problem presented itself, continuously. The gent was able to get fsck to work long enough to determine my hard drive was ok and said it was one of three things - the power supply, the graphics card, or the logic board. He said because the comp powered on and then shut off, and because there was intermittent chiming, he didn't think it was the power supply. He thought it was the graphics card and said I could leave my Mac for 10 days and they could take a looksy, or I could just install a new graphics card on my own.
I chose the latter, bought a ATI Radeon 5770 from the apple online store for $275 and installed it.
Problem persists.Exactly the same as before. Got initial chime, then next time no chime, optical drives clicking and graphics card fan whirring up and down rhythmically.
I had a touch of time to disconnect everything and I get a chime consistently now when I have my boot drive, graphics card, 4 gb ram, and monitor attached. (As well as wireless mouse, keyboard, trackpad). I even got to logon once only to have a prompt shut off and restart attempt. also I verified it was at least one optical drive clicking (when I removed them both) during these boot attempts.
The improvement in chiming seemed to be when I unseated one ram riser ( I have to with 2 x 2g ram modules each).
I also checked the diagnostic leds on the logic board and all was as it should be... says I got trickle power and rail power etc.
Is there anything else I can do to determine what's wrong? What do you guys think is wrong? Could it be bad RAM? Power Supply? Logic Board?
All your help is massively appreciated in advance!

Well I ran as many tests as I could with no definitive results to the point I would have to start buying replacement parts and testing that way. I opted to take it back to the apple store and they said it's (dun dun dun dunnnnn) the logic board.

Interfacing LabVIEW with PS-325 power supply

Hello guys, I have a power supply from Stanford Research systems, PS-325. This power source have a comunication port with pc that requires a KUSB-488B cable. I have installed the drivers necesary for this cable and drivers for power supply from NI site, but doesn't work. I have a dedicated GUI from Keithley with i have tested the cable and conection, and all good but in LabVIEW doesn't work. I have made a simple VI to set the voltage to power source and I'm getting ERR (-10737807343). Can anyone help me with this? maybe somebody have a VI for this power supply. Thank you!

It doesn't require a controller from Keithley. That's a choice that you or someone else made and not exactly a good choice. If Keithley provides its version of VISA, you need to install that but also NI-VISA as primary. The actual gpib driver must come from Keithley. You probably need to enable tulip support as well. The controller and instrument have to be listed in MAX.

Help - nonworking 1st Gen iMac 20" with bulging caps (power supply)?

I have a 1st Generation (Rev. A) iMac G5 that does not power on. I looked at the logic board, and all of the capcitators appear OK. None are bulging. Most have a "K" on them, some have the infamous "X."
I took my iMac into the Apple Store Genius expecting to be covered under one of the iMac G5 extended repair programs for out of warranty iMac G5s:
http://www.apple.com/support/imac/powersupply/repairextension/
http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/
I did not qualify for either, as the one is only for video AND power issues, and the other only for Rev. B iMacs.
So I took my iMac home looking to buy a power supply. I took the power supply out and opened it up and found all "X" capacitors, some of them bulging.
So what is my next step?
• Should I phone Apple Customer Relations at 800-767-2775 or Executive Relations 800-275-2237?
• Should I take the power supply back in and show this to the Apple Genius and explain my situation?
• What about the logic board? Should I demand Apple replace that too, since it has the X caps?
I am out of warranty and no AppleCare. But according to other threads, like this one, this is a known issue and Apple should replace both my logic board and my power supply. But the genius I dealt with this morning seemed very knowledgeable and said he has been working on Macs for 20 years. He actually checked in my Macbook with a couple of issues and is resolving them no problem. But no joy on fixing the iMac.

I took my Macbook in yesterday for video flicker and misbehaving battery. Received new battery, logic board, and inverter cable in about 32 hours. Kudos to Apple for fixing my in-warranty machine so quickly and not blinking an eye. The Genius who checked in my MacBook asked if I read about these repairs on the web, as he said it is a major problem. Ironically, since then I have been cautioned twice by Apple about what I read on the web.
What does that have to do with my iMac saga? Absolutely nothing, other than since I went to pick up the MacBook, I took the iMac back in. Plus, I am trying to find some words of praise with Apple's prompt, no-hassle repair as with this iMac issue I can find no words of praise.
I started out with this new Genius tonight by explaining I brought in the iMac yesterday and the Genius didn't even open my iMac but just checked the serial number and EMC number and must have been confused on the programs. I told him he denied me either program and said the one issue was for Video AND Power issues, and since I did not have a video issue, I was denied. I was asked who helped me, and gave his name, and I could tell the genius in front of me regarded him highly.
Anyway, they brought out the MacBook, I signed for it, put it back in my laptop bag. Attention turned back to the iMac, and I could just sense a reluctance to help me. I had mentioned that there were X capacitors on the logic board, but that none of them were bulging, and I had read that could be a problem in the future and that people were getting logic boards replaced even though the problem was with their power supply and the logic board appeared fine. I received the party line again about misinformation on the internet and not believing everything I read. At least I convinced this guy to open up my iMac, which he would not do in front of me but took it into a back room.
He came back out and said my capacitors were fine and there was nothing he could do. (Well, I had already told him they were fine.) I said that this was for power issues and the problem is obviously with my power supply and he said he could not help me with that.
I was/am very ticked off and just didn't feel like getting into it. Normally I would have asked for the manager. The genius wouldn't even look me in the eye. I feel like I have leprosy or something. Has anyone else with a Rev. A iMac with serial numbers for this program get denied? I have not read such a thing on this forum. Someone please post a link to comfort me so I know I am not the only one.
I just left, in defeat. I've got enough Mac service centers around me that I am going to take it to one of them. In fact, I DID take it to one of them first on Monday morning, but didn't have the original receipt with me, so they said that could be an issue, so I just left and took it to the Apple Store since I was already out that way.
Maybe tomorrow I will find comfort back in the arms of one of those hybrid computer stores. The saga continues...

Is airport extreme working with 220 v power supply?

my cousin gave me an airport extreme as present , bought in USA.Can I connect it with 220v power supply (greece) or what I must do to connect it to 220v power supply?

It will accept AC input voltages between 100 and 240 AC, 50 to 60 HZ. All you will need is an adapter plug to interface between the US plug and the Euro/Greece wall socket. These adapter plugs are low cost.

Do all Sun Servers come with switch-mode power supply?

I was posted this question by my customer and i was dumb founded. Can anyone help me on this? Thank you!

I'm not absolutely certain I understand the term "switch-mode".
If they are referring to a power supply that can auto-sense the input voltage, such as whether it can function with 115VAC versus 230VAC, then the answer is "maybe".
Recent workstation systems will have that.
Smaller server systems will have that.
Mid-sized servers may or may not have that.
An example: Sunfire V480's were auto-sensing, whereas the V490's require a nominal 200-240VAC.
Another example: the Ultra 5 and Ultra 10 workstations had power supplies that required you to slide a selector switch.
You are going to have to provide specific models, to get accurate answers.
Alternatively, just look it up in the Sun System Handbook.

Powering down display with external power supply

I am using a 23" display with an old PowerMac G4 from 1998 with an upgraded video card and external power supply.
Is there any way to power off the monitor without powering down the computer? Ideally I'd like this to happen automatically based on my system prefs, but apparently the external power supply precludes this.
As a "workaround", I've created a screen saver that displays a black image. Does this actually save any energy and/or extend the life of my display?
Thanks,
- Michael

Hi Michael,
Welcome to the discussions.
You can install an on-off switch on the power lead to the external power supply (actually, it's safer to have a qualified electrician do this, as you are dealing with a mains power supply). I have this system for my ADC 15" Display, and it works fine.
A black screen saver will not extend the life of your monitor. Screen savers were meant to mitigate the "burn in" effect that happens with CRT displays (and which doesn't happen with LCD displays). If the display is still on, the backlights will still be functioning and they are the finite life component of the LCD display that you need to look after. Also, because the LCD's themselves use so little energy, there will not be much energy saving.
It's more appropriate to "sleep" the display. You can do this (via Energy saver settings in System Preferences) without having to "sleep" the entire computer. This will turn off the backlights and significantly extend the life of the display.
(I'm presuming you are using OS X - you haven't supplied any details regarding your system. :))
Cheers!

Is W510's 135w Power Supply Safe To Use With T61?

I just ordered a new W510, whick of course comes with the 135w power supply. All documentation says that it is compatible with other Thinkpads goint back to the T400. There have been BIOS updates to accomodate the 135w supply on these machines.
I have a T61 (90w power). I plugged the 135w into it BRIEFLY, and the power manager indicated a 120w power supply connected.
---- Does this mean it IS safe to use the 135w brick with the T61? I need someone who is truly informed to weigh in.
Many thanks to all!

Shock Therapy - An Athlon64 / FX Power Supply Guide

I used to make a hardware list of all the components I would like to incorporate in my next
computer build. Normally...at the bottom of that list would be the power supply, not that I
didn't think it was important, it's just that my other hardware was so interesting! Today, power supplys
seem to take a back seat to blazing-speed CPU's, Dual-Cored processors, glitz and glamour
video cards...not to mention supersonic, heat-sinked RAM and modular, gizmoe'd PSU's promising not
only over-achiever specifications, but eye-candy as well. The lowly PSU....tucked up somewhere inside
it's dark and lonely loft....effortlessly supplying us with the energy required for important 3D imaging
or just funning with the latest games.
What a power supply does is rather simple. It converts your office or home's socketed electricity to
usable 3.3v, 5.0v and 12.0v energy...that's all. A power supply that cannot efficiently do this will-
over time-cause computer crashes, continuous reboots and shutdowns, and worse...expensive component damage.
And now, with faster processors such as AMD's Athlon64 and FX line of CPU's, never has there been a time, when
choosing the right power supply is so important! This article is written for those using these high-powered CPU's!
Well...Do we have your attention!?
If you are experiencing these problems, or still scratching your head over that last RMA....could be
your PSU is trying to tell you something.
To begin with, a power supply's ratings refer to its maximum output under ideal conditions. No power
supply is 100% efficient. In high-quantity manufacturing, power supplys may not put out any more than 60% of
their advertised specifications. In any PSU, that rating can be further reduced by the effects of heat
and electro-magnetic radiation. That's where "switching" power supplys come in. A switching power supply draws
only as much current that is needed from the AC input. Buying a hefty PSU with this feature will guarantee
that you will be paying no more for electric service, than you would with a cheaper, less powerful unit.
One of the most common causes of power supply inefficiency, and ultimately failure is dirt. Dust and
foreign materials can cause the beginning of the end for a power supply, by attacking the fan first.
It begins by slowing the fan down...thus creating heat through friction, then ultimately burning it out.
PSU's with high-quality ball bearing fans are a must. They are far more durable, and not as likely to
become noisier as time goes by.
As a general rule...a failing PSU will usually emit abnormal sounds, followed by unstable voltage readings....
then the computer crashes or lock-ups, with random shutdowns, and sometimes...refusal to even power-up.
If you think your power supply is on its last leg...better to deal with it now, or face the more serious dilemmas later on.
APM (Advanced Power Management)
APM is a feature originally developed by partners, Microsoft and Intel. It relates to a systems ability
to utilize different states in regards to a systems utilization of power. On, Off, Standby and Suspend
are examples...these are BIOS features, not PSU functions. APM only requires of the power supply, the
function to turn power on or off through an electrical signal, and the presence of stand-by voltage.
All ATX power supplys are required to incorporate this feature. However, if some components in a computer
are not APM-compliant, your system may encounter errors or freezes when going into hibernate or stand-by
modes.
ACPI (Advanced Control Power Interface)
It's the latest power management control that was developed by a conglomeration of IT corporations. This interface
is O.S. derived, rather than BIOS, and all ATX power supplys should be ACPI-compliant. You should not have to be
concerned about this feature.
Line-Conditioning Circuitry
A power supply component that helps control power levels, spikes and surges in
the most unreliable of home sockets.
EMI Filter
This circuitry smooths the fluctuations of incoming AC currents, also known
as Electro-Magnetic Interference - EMI filters are usually found in higher-end power supplys.
PFCC
Power Factor Correction Circuitry...smooths out sudden, initial spikes in power
delivery - reducing amplitude and preventing circuit overloads.
Connectors
There are five main connectors found on the latest version ATX power supply.
1) ATX main power connector - 20-pin, 24-pin, and 20 to 24-pin adapter.
2) ATX 12v power connector (4-pin to CPU)
3) Molex peripheral power connector
4) Floppy power connector
5) Serial ATA power connector
On newer SLI-certified power supplys, you'll find two 6-pin video card connectors.
Know What You Need
When purchasing a power supply, make sure your parts list is all-inclusive...know ahead of time, what you expect to
install in your system. You should also visit the motherboard manufacturer's site, as well as the CPU's. Most of the
products will have specifics regarding power supply requirements needed for that specific component. Unfortunately, you
really won't know how well the PSU performs until it is installed and running your system (hopefully!) This is the main reason we
recommend the most popular brands - power supplys that have shown a duration of manufacturing quality over the years. Those are
as follows: Antec, Enermax, OCZ, PC Power and Cooling, Tagan, and a few newcomers such as SeaSonic and Silverstone are
worth looking into.
If you believe you have found the PSU of choice, remember this: AMD recommends a minimum 350 watt power supply to run
Athlon64 and FX CPU's. To that, add the 30% for power lost to heat, and the subsequent electro-magnetic radiation. Hold on with that
calculator...throw in an additional 40% to 60% for the "potential" inaccuracies of specifications inherent in mass-produced electronics.
Pay special attention to outputs on either single, or dual rail +12v lines. A motherboard, CPU, and graphics card can consume up to
150 watts alone - before hooking up your remaining components. If running an SLI configured board, look for a PSU that is certified
to run that configuration...there's only a few PSU's that lay claim to that!
Broken down, you can look at it this way: An Athlon64/FX processor can use up to 90 watts off the +12v rail. High performance RAM
can take in about 25 watts for each stick of 256MB system memory from the +3.3v line. PCI cards will use about 10 watts each, while
an AGP video card can consume about 50 precious watts alone from the +5v or +12v. Hard drives? A 7,200 RPM drive...about 15 watts
each, taken from the +5v and +12v rail. Finally, but not absolutely is the optical drives...robbing about 20 watts each, also from
the +5v and +12v lines. So you see....not only is the +12v amp ratings of concern, but also the +5v line!
In doing the math...on a system incorporating an Athlon64 (say a 4000+), 2 sticks of high-end RAM, 2 or 3 PCI cards, 1 mid-to-high
end AGP video card, 2 ~ 7,200 RPM hard drives, and a couple of CD/RW or DVD/RW opticals...you're looking at a "base" requirement of 270 to 325 watts. That's for a running system...now figure boot-up loads, 30% for heat and radiation bleed-off, then a 40% safety factor for manufacturing inconsistencies...you've got a power supply in the 450 to 520 watt range!
Modular Power Supplys:
The pins that are used for the modular plugs are not very good at passing current. It's basically electrical resistance between the male and female components, and voltage "drops" are likely. In real world events, they will become loose, dirty, corrosive, and eventually burn. You can figure about 10% less efficiency with a modular power supply.
Now you can understand how manufacturing "tolerances" that are inaccurate by 40% to 60%, can have such a devastating effect on
the performance of your new system. If you follow these simple guidelines, bearing in mind the hardware you will be using, and what
your intended use of the computer is for...then it will be one less dramatic incident when pushing the power button for the first time!
Here's a neat little tool....a bit out of date - that can give you a basic idea of what you'll need in a PSU.
You can apply the percentages above, for an even more accurate assesment of your PSU requirements!

Well, except the CPU, my system has all that you mentioned there (I even have 3 optical drives). And my 350W PSU has been rock solid for more than a year (BeQuiet, = Tagan, IIRC). I don't think a 4000+ needs 100W more than my 3200+ . And that link you posted says that the minimum recommended PSU for my system is 506W xD. Come on.
Oh, and in the place I work there are 6 amd64 with GeForce 6800 GT and 2GB RAM with 380W Antec PSUs. All 100% stable, of course.
I would only go for >400W if I wanted to do extreme OC (with overvolting), or SLI. Otherwise, a good brand 350W PSU is more than enough.

MDD refurbed power supply

Hi all.Just wondering if anyone had/has any experience with these refurbished power supply's: I'm getting a used MDD 1.25 dual and would like to get it as new as possible,so any info on these,or a link to a more reputable source,would be appreciated,thanks!

I did indeed take the cover off and look to see what looked new inside. It appeared to me to be mainly capacitors that looked new. The inside was indeed clean, whereas power supplies inside machines that had been "parted-out" would be dusty inside.
Generally, these PSs for G4 MDD have had issues with noisy fans and faulty capacitors in the past. In addition to the Apple service manual, which has nice instructions on getting the power supply out of the case, here is a nice set of photos and instructions on how one guy repaired his G4 MDD power supply. If you check Youtube, you may also find how-to videos people have posted.
As for eBay, a lot of people are selling parts from used G4 MDDs, one piece at a time, with little or no testing of the part itself. Only a few seem to be full time electronics technicians who actually repair the power supplies and then sell them. One even gives a refund of maybe $40 if you send him back your broken PS. If you're in the market for a power supply, I'd try to stick to one of those technician sellers on eBay, since good ones will give a warranty with the PS.
I've repaired 4 G4 MDDs over the years from parts on eBay, and gotten them all back up and running just fine. Generally, for motherboards and CPU cards, if the machine they were pulled from was working fine, then they should be OK (if the part is handled correctly. I've been lucky, the ones I've bought have all worked.
Good luck!

HP6032A Power supply GPIB problems

I saw a reply some time ago to someone who was having trouble with an HP6032A
power supply.
I'm having trouble communicating reliably (reading from it, I think), and
my system (Mac) hangs constantly. If I limit the reads, I can go for several
days, but I normally read from it several times per minute and it hangs within
hours.
Is anyone familiar with this problem?

David,
Don't know if this will help or not. I have had trouble with some
of the HP Power Supplies (I think the 6032 among them).
I found that if I did not use the error checking it worked much better.
These are kinda cranky you might check all the settings and make sure
you are using the correct protocol and looking for the right number of
bytes.
Hope this helps
