Re: IBM 9406-720 power cable

Hi Larry!
Thanks for the answer!

I've tried a few possibilities...

     o I removed the cable (marked in blue) and plugged the power cord
       into the power supply (marked in red)... when I did this, no
       part of the system got any energy

     o I removed the batteries and plugged the power cord into the
       power supply ( marked in red ), when I did this, no part of the
       system got any power

What I did not try

     o I plugged a power cord into each power supply (marked in red)

I'm going to run a test today with a multimeter to see if energy is 
coming out of the power supply ...
