Hello,
I have a Dell SC1430 dual processor server that died recently showing error indicator lights 1&2 (possible system board failure). I replaced the system board and it would boot into the OS then shutdown. I noticed the power supply fan would turn off so replaced the power supply. Then it stayed on abit longer but still shutsdown. I ran the Dell diagnostics and found the system fails and shuts down when running the APIC MP test (all other processor diagnostics pass). When it begins the 4th pass on the APIC MP test the cooling fans kick in at high speed and it immediately shuts down.
It seems clear that I need to replace one or both of the processors but wanted to put this out there in case there may be another, or possibly different solution. As this is the third time ordering parts in attempt to "revive" this machine is there other components I should test?
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
Regards,
David
