OHHHH...im so excited....cant wait. Just got home from buying the server, gotta install ram and a hd and see what happens.....pics comming soon

 

[procpuarie]

specs?

 

[corky dorkelson]

I am just guessing here, but I am going to say 2x900mhz CPUs.

Just about any server is worth $22, can't wait to see it!!!

 

[Casper123]

2 3.2ghz intel xeon cpu's....but on the bad side, motherboad is getting power but power button is not powering on, no fan spin but lights are on on the mb

 

[Casper123]

and i cannot find a manual for this motherboard anywhere lol
so have no clue what jumpers to jump to try powering it on away from the power button

 

[farmboy30]

i've got a pretty good feeling why it was $22...

 

[Casper123]

yea i had knew it could happen like this. but its strange, kinda like its not getting power, but it has power and even mb is flashing that it is ok when i test it...

 

[wixdfast]

Maybe roundhouse kick it to start it up?

 

[Casper123]

lol the front panel is suppost to have a power light and a system faul light but neither are lighting up too....more research

 

[BLKKROW]

Have you tried cmos? Or one stick of Ram at each time?

Those would cause it not to come on

 

[Casper123]

ok, just a thought and mabye a real dumb one, im trying to turn it on without anything plugged in, ie monitor keyboard, mouse and in the manual it says something about throwing a non-keyboard shutoff or something.........

 

[JKBenchmarks]

If anything, you can buy a new motherboard, and you bought two Xeon's for $22

!

 

[FSF-Foxhound]

He brought a 22 dollar SERVER. Not a 22 Dollar FUNCTIONAL server

Anyway... sounds like your screwed bro

 

[Casper123]

nah, im not screwed i will find somethiing to do with it...

 

[farmboy30]

yep sounds like a dead mobo to me, seen this scenario too many times

 

[Casper123]

ok, i have tried jumping ever power connector i can and will not boot up, when i plug in power cord to psu the MB does a little test and has flashing led's 1 suppost to flash blue, it does and 1 that is suppost to flash wither blue-gree-yellow and flashes green signaling no major system problem. i have a 24 pin connector and 8 pin power connector plugged in, i dont have an extra psu with those on it to test....ohh wait i do lol, my new corsair has those connections so i can see if it is the psu....

 

[Deegan]

i would pull the processors and look for bent pins etc...

 

[Casper123]

this thing looks brand new, no dust at all on the cpu cooler, its shiny like it has never been turned on lol

 

[Fitzbane]

if anything the cpus for $22 is good..

 

[Casper123]

yea 2 3.2 xeons is a killer for $22 and found a replacement motherboard for only $17 lol
