power supply rating for drive enclosure?

I have a Sun UltraSCSI drive enclosure, P/N 599-2326-01I would like to know the maximum output amperage ratings for its +5 and +12 volt power supply. I cannot find this information anywhere. Can you help me? Thanks!

Hello,

this is a StorEdge UniPack DSK010C-18G (18.2GB 10000 RPM Disk UniPack). You can replace the SCA hard disk with another one with higher capacity. The enclosure is auto-terminating UltraSCSI (SCSI-3, Single-Ended, SE) ) with 40-MB/sec. A LVD drive will revert to this slower SE mode.

Please open the enclosure and locate the part-no of the power supply (300-1282-0x). There are 3 revisions (x=0, 1 and 2) with different ratings. With the part-no I'm able to lookup and provide this information ...

How about assigning and rewarding Duke Stars ?

Sorry to take so long to respond, I pulled the power supply out of the unit and found the power rating printed on the PC board inside. I wrote it on the outside of the supply with a Sharpie so I won't have to do it again. I put a 73 Gb drive in it that comes rather close to the specs, I'm glad I checked.

I love old Suns, they never die. I have a couple of 3/60's that run great. This drive is for an old Sparc-20, still a productive machine for me.

I wish that Sun would maintain the tech specs for their old hardware, I have to google to learn about the old gear I find at flea markets and such.

The data is still available in the "private" Sun System Handbook after login (which a requires a service contract or service plan).

Seems kind of silly to get a service contract on a 10 year old computer that I bought at a flea market for $50, or for an obsolete drive enclosure I got on eBay for $10. Esepecially when I don't need a service contract to see the specs on new stuff.

The Hardware Specifications for current systems are available in the public SSH.

The information you've been looking for, is under Components. It's not the enclosure (StorEdge UniPack) but the details of the power-supply (FDK PEX698-30).

The links to Components (or details) either in the public Full Components Lists or directly from the main page of the public SSH have been removed.

The Full Components Lists in the private SSH and the private SSH main page contains links to Components.

What's the point in keeping info private on obsolete stuff? It's certainly not proprietary, it's not worth getting a service contract. I'm just a developer, why discourage me from working with your platform? If it's too hard for me to keep a SPARC machine running, I'll just give up on it.

I guess because Sun would have to spend effort into moving the data into the "public" domain.

I also now just buy used Sun equipment, as long as supported under Solaris 10. Now that you don't have to pay for a license to run Solaris 10, but only for the support you need, I think the basic support plan is value for money compared to the Microsoft way.

(I did once buy a used X86 machine with XP pro pre-installed before realising that the license was non-transferable and therefore useless...)

Hello Chester,

I absolutely agree.

What's the point in using acient hardware for serious development ?

The SPARCstation 20 is completely outdated. To legally use Solaris you had to buy a license. When Solaris 8 was released you could register for a free license. Solaris 9 was restricted by license: Only single cpu capable systems, only systems directly bought from Sun or authorized dealers.

Solaris 10 is free, but won't work on your system.

... why discourage me from working with your platform?

It's my preferred platform, but I don't work for Sun.
