DETAILS:
Recent ongoing testing at IBM has determined a limited quantity of power supplies used in the Netfinity 3500 server enter a
"Latch-Off state when supplied with 230VAC resulting in the power supply not powering-up the system when the Power On/Off
switch is actuated. This may occur infrequently and is limited to power supplies that have Header Codes listed in the "Problem Isolation Aids" section of this document.
World-Wide FRU stock has been purged of the suspect power supplies.
NOTE: Systems powered with 120VAC are NOT affected.
