IBM AS/400 Advanced 36

One of the adapter cards (probably the db25) gets a cable that has a DB on one end and a big rubber block with 1" round, 2 center socket, connectors, usually 6 of them (max load for a twinax controller). You probably need to try to get that from them if you can or research which of the cards is a twinaxial controller and then locate a source (Black Box = big bux) for a replacement cable. Last year I had access to dozens of cables like that, now nothing as I work mostly smaller ethernet and token ring servers (RS/6000, Server 370, etc). I haven't worked on many S/34, 36 or AS/400 servers since last fall. -> -----Original Message----- -> From: owner-classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org -> [mailto:owner-classiccmp@classiccmp.org]On Behalf Of David Betz -> Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 12:36 PM -> To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org -> Subject: Re: IBM AS/400 Advanced 36 -> -> -> The only connectors on the back of the machine are a female DB9 labeled -> "UPS", another labeled "MI", a female DB25 with no label and two plug in -> modules with the numbers 2609 and 6146 on them.
