Once upon a time Stephen Fisher shaped the electrons to say...

If it WAS the power supply (it may have been a short on the board, can't
say until it gets back here) that is the first one I recall in all the time
I've been here.

Also, some of those other boxes with 2 PS *CANNOT RUN ON ONE*. If one PS
fails it won't be long until the other cooks itself because it can't run
the entire box alone.

Two power supplies does not mean redundancy in all cases. Last I heard we
have the lowest failure rate due to PS failues - redundant supplies or not.
