Hi all; I may be a little off on this, but if IIRC the 6360,54xx,55xx,64xx,65xx use the same power supplies. The 63x,62xx,63xx use the same power supply. While it is true that the 63x thru 62xx power supply will power the 6360 thru 65xx boards,the 6360 power has a higher wattage output because of the PCI architecture. HTH --Thanks; Rev.
