As far as I heard from the previous owner it's a problem of only the XL.
Smaller machines use different power supplies. Since I never had a L I
can't verify this though.
If anyone got a spare L in Germany I'd love to try it :-)

It might just be weak power supplies. There was
a recall issued by
SGI about the Challenge XL power supply, I remember our SGI tech
dropping by to replace the PS on our Challenge XL . The machine ran
24/7 on a UPS for years and we were always very worried about turning
the darn thing off.
Interesting. I've just been offered a Challenge L, disfunctional due
to faulty PSU. AFAIK that's just a half-size version of the XL,
effectively. If I get it, where should I start?
