Re: Power7 SRC10001510 followed by SRC10001512, power supply failure?

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Having just done a MAJOR system move from one set of racks to another 
with 28 of these drawers it's not hard to miss. Step one, look at the 
front of the 5887s, if all GREEN all is good. If a yeller is lit then go 
to the back. Next stare carefully at the LEDs next to the power 
connectors, if two green (stacked) then that PS is good and has power. 
If a yeller is lookin at ya then you have a PS running it's fans from 
the other PS and the power is likely disconnected. Plug it in and give 
it about 3 seconds and it will go green.

Sadly on the Power Systems 5887 drawers there is no strain relief/cable 
retention option so they do get pulled out far too often.
