Abstract: POWER CONTROL CARD CAN EXHIBIT A CAPACITOR BURNOUT FAILURE


SYMPTOM:


PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:


FIX:

The Power Control Card and Bracket, FRU P/N 03K9097 (5v regulator card) was manufactured with incorrect cap value 16v instead of correct 20v value.
This error was fixed in EC# E73186A.


WORKAROUND:

If capacitor fails, replace card in system.


DETAILS:

Some cards may fail in system with a start up surge voltage.
16v capacitor will not handle as much surge as 20v capacitor.
There is no way to determine if and when capacitor will fail.
Only known fails were on pre-GA product.
