[rescue] Sun Netra 240 w/ 48V Power Supplies- How much current do I need to run it?

[Peter Stokes]

Hi Jerry

Not sure where the ROHS compliance makes a difference, I thought this was
related to the manufacture process, not the functionality of the parts?

I.e. The non ROHS will do the same job, given it is the same functional spec.
