Hi All
I recently purchased a Dell PowerEdge 1850 off ebay to play around with for my University course...
It was booting and 'screaming' the fans fine at first but after I replaced the original single core XEON with a dual core and added two more modules of RAM (2 x 1GB) it will no longer POST, and the fans will not work as fast or loud as normal... there is also a flashing amber light on the front on the right most light??
I'm new to servers so I'm not sure whats gone wrong?
- The CPU is seated fine and I have added new thermal paste.
- I have swapped out the new CPU for the old one again
- Tried seating the CPU in the spare socket
- Reseated all 4 RAM modules (2 x 1GB and 2 x 512mb)
- Reseated both HDD's
All to no avail =(
Hope someone has some idea as to what I've done wrong here =/
Many Thanks. AH.
PS my service tag is CVVC81J
EDIT: Also note that there is no video output on the screen?
