= New Power Supplies =

We started replacing internal power supplies with external ones and the progress can be monitored [wiki:NodeIssues here]. New power supplies are 200 W [http://www.fspgroupusa.com/IPC/ACDC/fspipc1u2u.asp FSP200-50PLA2]  This round of replacement doesn't have aesthetic qualities of the original (as can be seen in the attached picture) but definitely solves the reliability problem. And the pile of old internal power supplies is growing (if anybody has an idea of what to do with them please let us know). It is expected that the upgrade will be completed, at least for the failed units, in the next two-three weeks.
