The IBM manuals actively discourage you from opening up
the PSU. It's
held together by tamperproof Torx screws (you know, the ones with the
pins in the middle), and the Hardware Maintenance and Service manual
tells you to replace the PSU if these screws have been modified or
replaced with normal ones (i.e. if somebody has been inside the PSU).
I always
wonder how they can call it tamper-proof when you can go down to
the local hardware/car parts store and buy a set of them for maybe $5-10...
And if you want some other stuff, local specialty stores or mail-order like
Techni-Tool can get you just about anything you need... So much for
tamper-proof.
