PSAL wiring guide
Posted: 15 May 2019 09:05
Hi!
I received a rather old shelf. It has 10 card spaces. It has a metal box with 3 connectors on the back, 2 of them are +48V and 0V, and the third is labelled "PSAL". I connected the +48V and 0V to a UPS, and the CPU board attached to the cabinet shows signs of life thru a serial console, but the boot does not occur.
The only thing it shows is that the bios version is built before Christ, and there is a "PSAL ALARM, Waiting for blahblahblah"... so there is a problem with the power.
How or where do i need to attach the psal wire?
I found documents from rel 5.1, but this rack was not mentioned... i think it is ~20years old, or more, but i could use it as a service cabinet.
