Re: power supply problem + Power Cable Gripe

2004-04-30 by braineeter

Thanks for the info Florian...good tips on the checking the A100's 
status after every separate module installation, and using a small 
mirror to directly dbl check power bus<->power cable pin alignment...

FWIW I've got a self-made case (ie i bought my own Schroff subrack 
and accessories), and i've got access through the back of rig, so 
there was no excuse for me not to check out the installation more 
thoroughly...

I can understand the need for a power cable connection that won't 
casually come loose, but I'm fearful about breaking off those 
bayonet thingees everytime I remove one of those cables between the 
power bus and the PSU...how much stress can the bayonets take before 
they'll break apart from the power bus or PSU? Have you found a 
reliable way to remove cables that minimizes the risk of breakage?

Regards
Glenn
