[rescue] Sun T5240 power supply failure?

Just had a bit of a scary experience -- One of the power supplies on my 
new T5240 just shot out a bunch of sparks, made a horrible burning 
smell, and otherwise displayed symptoms of failure.  I was running it on 
(US standard) household 115V, which I think is acceptable for the 1.2GHz 
8-disk model.  The server wasn't even really on at the time -- I was 
going through the ILO and preparing to issue a power-on command.

Anyone else see this sort of thing happen?  I'm pretty spooked, to be 
honest.
