[rescue] Sun T5240 power supply failure?

[Peter Stokes]

Hi Chris

Sounds like bad luck nothing to do with your supply unless of course you have
issue with your wiring (unlikely even then), is there a second PSU installed
and still working?

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.
