I have inherited an 8000 server from another department and have hooked it
on to my local 1186 network and it works like a charm but the power supply
makes a horrible noise-like a solenoid screaming. I replaced the power
supply with another from an old 1108 that worked fine but the new power
supply screams also in the 8000 server box. Does anyone know if there is
another power supply in the frame that drives the solenoid in the main
power supply? If so I could try changing that. Any advice would be
appreciated.
Better still, does anyone know of a way to download the server software
over the ethernet to an 1186/6085 box? The 80 MB harddrive and 3.7 MB
1186 box would seem to be a more reliable home for the clearing house,
mail, file, and print server than these old 1108 boxes. Ideas on this
front would also be appreciated.
Thanks,
