Powerup Problem on AS2000

[Michael Kronsteiner]

Thanks for all your really good advice...

but im somewhat in trouble.

I thought i have an alphaserver 2000... it SHOULD be an AS2000...
i do have right here a board with all the poweron/off reset, halt switches
that

a) says Demisable which is an 2000A and not a 2000 (compatible?)
b) has broken switches on it (the "everything closed" microswitch AND the
poweron/off switch...

man man man lifting it up there seems not to be all of the work :-(

PS: thanks Jay i found the switch, but after poking once around in the hole,
with a "clink" the metal part of the switch left service alone...

thx all
Mike
