Depends what WRAP models you are talking about, and what future intended
use.
Now that Lonnie dropped the upgrade price to $10 on software, we keep them.
Most of our WRAPs are Dual Ether Dual PCI or Tri Ether Dual Pci, which is a
unique configuration, compared to the WAR1s of lowest cost.
We really don't need over the WRAPs processing power for low end residential
or retail clients.
The WRAPs fit into cases that we already have drilled out for WRAPs. So its
an easy swap, for when an existing system's board dies.
It allows reuse of the case, saving a few more dollars.
But I agree with you from the sense that these new certified CPE gear from
Lonnie are so innexpensive now, its hardly worth the time to mess with the
old gear, in most situations. Expecially the 1 ether/1mpci WRAPs.

Doesn't matter too much. I was thinking for a second there, maybe I can
fix those wraps. But I'm just going to leave them be and use the new wars.
I had a customer call yesterday saying they were having interference and
wondering if it could be our radio.
Channels 159.3075 Transmit 151.1825 Receive 131.8 Decoder 162.2 Encoder
They have been a wrap for 3 years or so.
Anyways we went over unplugged the wrap and the noise went away.
Tried a different power supply, same thing, noise.
Replaced it with one of Lonnie's new integrated can-o-war cpe's that is
certified and tested for noise.
No more problems.
Better off ditching these boards that have weird noise issues and sticking
with tested units.

In the past I sent mine back to PcEngines for repair, and they repaired
them under warrantee or for a small fee.
The fuse thing is right near the power plug, but doesn't look like a
fuse. Never thought about jumping around it? Maybe a possibilty.
I identified it in the past, but do not have one in stock to look at
right now, to clarify what component it is.

An XR9 by itself is probably to much for the WRAP board.
Remember the WRAPs have a fuse that blows on peaking 21 volts. So
anything higher than 18V regulated is risky.
As well, the power limit is not just the PS voltage it can take. The
mPCI bus is limited in watts its supports. Even the SR5 alone likely
exceeds the mpci bus specs.
I'm not saying you can't make it work, I'm just saying.

Where is that fuse?
I have a dozen wraps that don't fire up. I bet it was the cheap power
supplies that were rated at 12volts but were putting out 30 volts, that
came with some wraps.
Can I jump it out?
