    There is some troubleshooting documentation package, do I understand
    right or does it require ms-windows to run?

    I was under impression that the machine I'd be getting would be as2100 ;
    it turned out to be as2000 and after having somewhat assembled that
    thing it after reboot lights up OPC, says "test cpu_00 xyz", then
    "test mem_00 xyz" where xyz are changing numbers and then powers itself
    off. Anybody has clue what might be going on?

    One thing that comes to my mind is fan. The thing came without original
    cooling propeller(s?) and would it be that this machine has some clever
    safety mechanism that if fan is missing or out of order it won't run?
    Where does original cooling fan get its power from? In system backplane
    there is one empty connector, see
    http://muikku.katiska.org/~costello/as2000_power_connectors.png
    what should be connected to connector pointed with ? -sign?

    What else might it be? What error situations lead to power off?
