Hello everyone, my colleagues recently took one of our PRIMERGY TX150 S7 servers out of the reserve stock, after plugging it nothing happened other than the fan noise. They tried replacing its copponents(CPU, RAM, storage devices etc.) one-by-one but still saw the same result.
Yesterday the D2759 system board was shipped to me so I rebuilt the system with only a Xeon X3450 CPU, one PC3-10600R mempry stick and the power supply(all worked on other machines), trying to boot it but again failed. I noticed one of the LEDs on the corner of the board starts flashing shortly after power-on. According to the server's Technical Manual the orange flashing of that "Global error LED", ”indicates a failure of a non CSS component. Reasons for a failure may be:
- over temperature measured by one of the sensors
- sensor is defective
- CPU error
- software detected an error”, and I had to stop there.
This one was a 2011 purchase so we are absolutely out of anything warranted. I just wonder if at this situation still there's something I can do to get the horse revived. It worked well before once be put to sleep in the storehouse for about 2 months. The board's status is relatively good on appearance, no physical damages observed. Anyone here has any idea to share with me? Your time and kindness is very much appreciated, thank you!
