The airflow sensors are close to the RX50 disk drives, I can look
the location from the docs if somebody really want to know.

At least the european editions (at least in Finland) take 380V 3-phase to
the power distributor and give out 220V single phase. I have an 11/44 with
a broken PSU and the setup is *very* similar, except for the 8350 having
the funky *300V DC* lines that go out to the backup battery. 

Now for the stupid question:
How do you boot an 8350 ??? I looked at the docs and it seems it can only
boot from RA??, CI, probably tape and RX50. So, if I'm aiming for
netboot what do I do next ? I would really prefer booting just the machine
and leaving the RA81s unconnected.
