This may be old hat to some but I can't recall it being mentioned here.
The power connector and short length of wiring supplied with some of the ex telco thunderbolts is a potential disaster area! Don't ask me how I know.... The wire colours do NOT conform to the PC standard. The +12 and -12 wires are a major trap as the yellow wire is for -12, NOT +12.
See the picture in the link for the details.
