I have to agree with Lee's view on the HP300...  THIS is an HP300...  
http://www.hpmuseum.net/display_item.php?hw=116

Now for the HP9000/375 - I've not seen a service manual for the 375 but here's 
a link to the Service Handbook. 

http://www.hpmuseum.net/document.php?hwfile=2053 

There's a list of hardware related documents in that handbook but there's no 
mention of a Service Manual.  Perhaps it was an unlisted HP internal document - 
but the handbook looks like it has enough for the typical field repair efforts 
of its era.. 

If yours is dead, a bad power supply is the most likely issue.  The same power 
supply was used in the 9000/340 but the 340's service manual doesn’t tell you 
much about the internals of the supply.  The 345 service manual tells you more 
but the supply for that box is a different model. 

The supply was most likely sourced from a third party so you might have to hunt 
around for an OEM part number on the unit and maybe get lucky with schematics 
on the web.  Otherwise standard troubleshooting tasks for switch mode power 
supplies would apply..  http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/smpsfaq.htm#smpssctos

Hi Josh,

"lot of HP 300 gear"

Being picky here, but I worked at HP in the HP 300 days and the system you 
acquired does not sound like an HP 300, aka Amigo ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP_300), but rather a model of HP 9000 desktop 
machines (M68K based?).
