Hi Daniel,

Nice work with the rack restoration :)

With the DL380 PSU, it may be entirely repairable, or it may be entirely 
irrepairable. Only way to tell would be to check out what's wrong with 
it, which as Simon pointed out, someone at the club may be able to do.

Failling that, if the DL380 is anything like the DL360 (and it looks 
very similar) it's HP proprietory - not a standard replacement part; you 
might need to get a new one from HP; or see if you can do an 'RMA' 
(product return). Those are usually only covered by warranty, or if you 
pay for a support contract.

If it's a redundant power supply, put a sticker on the working one, and 
bring them both down to the club. Comparing a known good one might make 
the job a bit easier for anyone repairing it.

73 and Regards,

Adam
