    ANS AIX distro

    Q1: Reading "Using AIX, AppleTalk Services and Macintosh OS Utilities on the Network Server" manual, it's not clear to me what is installation source? There should be AIX + Apple Utilities on the same CD-ROM? Does anybody have it (share, sell, etc.)? Q2: What's the latest supported (and, well...

    @ByrdThank you! Do you have ANS 500 or ANS 700? They have different PSUs. On ANS 700 there is a led in PSU look to its front. It is inside PSU and should be visible if remove the bottom panel.

    Apple Network Server (ANS) 700/200 repair

    Guys, owners of ANS 700! Please tell, if your PSU led is on when the power cord is inserted in the machine. Or it become "on" only after pressing "Power" button? And a second question: could you remove PSU from the case and insert power cable directly to it? Will LED be "on" or not in this case?

    Apple Network Server (ANS) 700/200 repair

    Hi @trag! It's an interesting document, I did not notice it before. I don't think this sentence is about Developer Support group, but rather Developer Support as a paid option for selected customers. Why selected? Because power pinouts is useful only for hardware developers who want to make some...

    Apple Network Server (ANS) 700/200 repair

    The motherboard itself was very clean, even no dust. ANS is not 1-1 copy of PM9500, it is a different machine. Can you help me to find ANS pinout? PSU and Motherboard has the same 30-pin (10 pin in a row x 3) large connectors.

    Apple Network Server (ANS) 700/200 repair

    I removed the rivets on the PSU cover and cleaned up everything inside. Сobweb, dead mosquitoes, mold and more. I've even got an electric shock from some component near two large caps inside the PSU (after turning off the power, of course). That means partially it works. Or it fully works, I...

    Apple Network Server (ANS) 700/200 repair

    Yes, you remember correct — the rear lock should be closed + bottom rear switch must be pressed by chassis. Unfortunately, it seems the problem is in the power unit. While I disassembled it and now cleaning, too much dirt inside.
