The Cobalt Qube 3 was the final Cobalt Qube product, released in 2002. Cobalt Networks (acquired shortly after by Sun Microsystems) discontinued it shortly after to focus on the Cobalt "RaQ" line of 1U server appliances instead


The Qube 3 is a large departure from the older Cobalt Qube 2. Moving to an AMD K-6 2 at either 300 or 450Mhz and including a SCSI and USB port on the rear of the unit.


The power connector was also re-designed to a 5 pin DIN connector requiring multiple ATX PC style voltages. Specifically +12V @ 2.0A, -12V @ 0.5A and +5V at 6.0A


Cobalt Qube 3's unfortunately suffer from capacitor plague and should be immediately inspected and have all of their capacitors replaced to ensure continued operation


At this time my Cobalt Qube 3 is non-operational due to lacking a compatible power supply
