Hi,

I have a serious problem with a Netra AC200. It somehow
powered down. I can't look at it myself right now, so
I had someone look at the box. He switched it on again
and it sounded (I was listening on the phone) suspisciously
like a broken CPU fan. I had him pull the plug for
safety reasons and now I am thinking about ways to
repair the machine. Given that it's really a broken
fan, what kind of fans are used in the Netra AC200?
I guess it has powered down because it sensed a dead
fan or a critical CPU temperature. I tried looking
at the systems handbook online, but the high resolution
pictures are now available for people with support
contracts only. (Why? First we don't get all the patches
anymore, now it's less documentation if you don't pay
extra...). Can anybody comment on replacing the fans
in a Netra without paying Sun big money? It has been
a very reliable machine and it would be a real shame
if it had to be replaced by PC junk just because I
can't replace a stupid fan.
