We have got a Server PC/Fiery here, I think its quite old (but no older than '03), but i want it and it doesnt work. I switch it on, the green mobo light switches on, the fans go and it has a front lcd panel says 05-04-22, I dont know what this means.

It has one VGA port on the back from the mobo (onboard GPU I guess), but I cant get any output to the monitor, it just says no video ouput.

Here are the info I can see so far:

60GB IDE Drive (which doesnt apear to be spinning)
2 Sticks of RAM
Win XP Pro on the side
It says Intel RC82545EM on one of the black chips on the mobo
It says Server Works SWC SB7440-P01 somewhere else on the mobo

Please help.

Thanks.

See if you can find the motherboard that you are using and look for a manual online.

Hmm... (Bad way to lead in posts, but oh well

)
Are you able to fire it up outside the case?

I just dont know what the motherboard is, it only says Server Works SWC SB7440-P01, which has very little on the net. If I could just get into the bios everything would be fine.

I havent tried taking it outside the case, but what would that do?

 

[alk]

Well, disconnect everything, take out of case, connect everything, fire it up.

And it's a bit hard to say what it does.

 

[OCZedd]

Doesn't seem to be a broken caps. I just dont know what to do, I have run out of options. It boots, fan spin and lights are on, but no output. Do you think the cpu is dead? Can you get any output if the cpu is dead?

I dont know if I can, because the power swtich wires are extremely short. And another thing the DVD Drive opens and closes if its anything.

Also ensures nothing grounding on the case and allows you to remove potentially faulty components, reapply as5, etc. In general lets you work with the system alot easier.

Get a jumper... Jump the power wires, the electricity is so small.

try playing with the amount and location of the RAM

 

[OCZedd]

Well before I start shifting mobo's, is there anything else i could try?

Edit: You mean moving RAM slots?

 

[alk]

clear cmos and/or remove CMOS CR032 battery.

try booting without HDD connected up.

the RC82545EM is a network controller.

Yes, try the RAM in some other slots/removing some sticks.

 

[OCZedd]

OK, I will try moving some of the RAM Sticks and clearing the CMOS.

Thanks so far guys

 

[OCZedd]

I tried to clear CMOS and moved the RAM to slots 3 and 4, unplugged the HDD, but still nothing on the monitor. Just says 05-04-22 on the front LCD.

It's your thread, you do what you want!

anyways, I don't really know what more to try. I'd say just keep digging to find a manual for it so you can figure out what that code on the frond LCD is.

Maybe try one RAM stick in the slot one and that's it. if that stick doesn't work try the other one in slot 1

So it's a printer server...hijack the internals and put them in a new board

Do you reckon I should get a new board? Have any suggestions? I dont know a lot about server mobo's.

I think this is the best manual:
