The CPU has the 14 slot main backplane and a 9 slot expansion backplane,
connected together with the M9202 jumper card pair. When I first opened the
top the M9202 jumper card was plugged into slots 12 and 14 of the main
backplane. I assume it is really supposed to plug into slot 14 of the main
backplane and slot 1 of the expansion backplane to bridge the two so I moved
it there. The M9302 terminator was in slot 9 of the expansion backplane.
I believe all row D connectors except the empty 10,11,12 memory slots either
had a card installed or had a stubby little card grant card installed. I
didn't pull any of them to see what they were (G727, G7270, G7273?)

I did pull the power cord panel off of the back of the power supply and it
looks pretty easy to swap the existing power cable with one with a more
common plug so that's what I'll do after I manage to track down a
replacement M7095 and get to the point of trying to power up the CPU.
