Wow. TWO weeks?!?!? That s*cks big time. Disappointed? I think I'd be breathing fire, screaming at the top of my lungs at your IBM office to get those parts (yes, both of them!) overnighted from whatever point on earth they may be available. Is this your company's first AS/400? Bad enough if it isn't, but if it is, holy cow Batman! What a great first impression. Perhaps Anne Lucas can help here?

Powered it up on wednesday, it came up ok. But about two hours later it died with SRC 1011 1B01 which indicates an overcurrent on the 5V rail. It would not re-IPL, just as soon as the power button is pressed, that source reappears. The CE came and took the machine apart, disconnected every adapter, disks, etc. but still the same problem. Conclusion was that either the power supply or the tower board is faulty. So the CE gets in touch with the parts stores and guess what: no parts in the country (Australia) for two weeks! So if you're in Australia and you happen to have a production 270, be afraid and better pray nothing goes wrong! I'd expect this kind of thing from just about anybody BUT IBM! Don't they test (burnin, etc.) their machines anymore? Isn't high availability and speedy service part of the reason why we pay the big bucks for hardware and maintenance contracts? Man I'm so disappointed... Best regards, Matthias
