mrstrong Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Before the holidays I powered down an old server (2008R2 doesn't get much use (was planning to upgrade it this term and maybe put on WDS)) Anyway come in today and press power button and nothing, no attempt to boot, just dead :-( Checked power cable ok. When it is plugged in there is a very slight "electrical hum" noise. If I press power button the LAN light does come on and usb drives lights come on though not the mouse. Maybe faulty power supply, or dead motherboard? Not sure how to diagnose.
round2it Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Dual cpu? Take one out see if it boots dell server by any chance.
mrstrong Posted September 3, 2019 Author Posted September 3, 2019 no its an old super micro SC 743 chassis with a SAS743TQ (backplane with drives). Managed to get side off yesterday it looks pretty cramped and dusty in there. Not got any further as been swamped with the usual first day/week back chaos: loads of classrooms reported faults mostly stuff not plugged in but still lots of genuine issues to sort before I get time to have a look at server
