Very straight forward CE-completely dependable and trained. Said CE overtime dropped 50% with sunset of 360's and another 50% with sunset of 303x. We had some very bright system's folks and the 360/50 was on it's last legs and would thermal under load-Diagnostics showed nothing. Finally, one of the physics majors says "Why don't you take some of zener diodes from the 1403 and clamp across the thermistor bank?" Sure enough next peak one popped and showed the semi-open thermistor. Lasted 'til the 4381 and Spectra-70 but that's a different chapter..... In a message dated 8/18/2014 4:14:40 P.M.

One of the main purposes for processor EPO would be to drop power to minimize processor damage in the event of some severe physical problem. It would obviously be an unfortunate engineering design for EPO to cause more damage than it prevents -- not saying it didn't happen, only that IBM would have a strong motivation for learning how to minimize those problems as hardware evolved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
