Re: (ASCEND) Max 4000 Power Supply

[Simon Rainey <srainey@rmplc.net>]

We had a PSU fail in a 4000. There's enough redundancy in our network that
it wasn't missed. Good job because we're refusing to cough up the $2873
fixed repair charge that the European TAC are looking for. We've tried to
source a PSU elsewhere but with no luck. It can't be worth more that $100.

Rgds,
Simon.
