Default Switching PSU advice


How about posting a link to that manual? '325' is a series of
servers, like 360 was a series of mainframes.

I followed wiring diagram and trasplanted connectors to a standard ATX
(285W vs 240W of the original). The faulty PSU has all the connector shown, but
MB lacks two of them, one for the 3.3V and for P12.
I found the corresponding wire on the ATX standard connector, except for the
+5V standby, present on the ATX, absent on the IBM PSU.
I tried the modified PSU and the server started.
But ... when I pressed again the power switch, it shuts off partially.
The fans spin in spurts, and leds flash, as the PowerOn signal (green wire
on the ATX, violet on the IBM PSU) doesn't reset completely.
I checked again my rewire and it's correct.
May be a different signal handling ... but it's not a real trouble, by now.
As soon as I power down, I disconnect it from the main AC, I don't need
a standby behaviour, by now ...
