Aren't these water cooled? I seem to remember hoses.

I don't think we ever loaded them at 100amps but that was what IBM required. One was for the AirCon and the other for the CPU. If I remember properly those disks are the truculent ones. Assuming you have AirCon they need to sit for several hours to acclimatise. > TTFN - Guy Dave
