In preparation for my eventual booting of the IRIS
Power Series
machine, I pulled the back off yesterday and inspected the power
supply, etc.
It appears that somebody disconnected several plugs and some
screw-posts when they pulled the unit out of service (!)...
Hopefully the supply is ok. Someone might have pulled a good supply and
put a nonworking one in its place.
The square-ish plugs should all be plugged in to the
plug they match.
(I thought this one was pretty safe.)
Should be, I'll see what mine looks like.
The three loose post-screws go to the three wires that
were just
floating around loose (coming directly (more or less) out of the
twist-lok plug. These screws are labeled N~, L~, and <earth symbol>
The Earth pin on the twist-lok plug is the longer one. (made sense to
me, but I can't find anything to confirm it...)
I'll check mine with an ohm meter and see what is connected where.
The L~ probably stands "Live" or something
like that (?)
Line
The N~ probably means "Negative"
Neutral
The positive lead on the twist-lok plug is the one
that has the
breaker on it.
Line should be breakered.
The wire connected to the long pin on the plug should
be connected to
the <earth symbol> connector.
I don't remember if ground or neutral used the longer pin.
Has anyone see these things before, and can possibly
confirm this?
I've got three deskside single tower machines myself. If you can wait a
few days, I'll pull the plates off of one and take a few digital pics.
