RNDU2000 Power Supply Issue

I own an out of warranty RNDU2000 that has been experiencing 'V+12 power is out of normal range' issues, and the pwer supply is starting to fail.
I notice that at the back of the unit is an unknown port marked "P" that has five male pins in parallel that I assume is for an external power supply.    If this is for an external power supply, what sort of connector is that?  Can someone recommend a replacement external power supply?  Or perhaps a source for a replacement chassis.  

 

I do not wnat to upgrade to a new unit, as I am quite attached to the stability of the older OS

    Are you sure that it's 5 pins (not 4)?

     

    I'm suspecting you are looking at the serial output.  That lets you see the console output - it isn't for power.

     

    Normally it'd be covered with a sticker.  There's a photo with it highlighted here:

        The 2-bay ultra should already be using an external power brick.  Is that the part that is failing?
