Help -- Weired Poweredge 1600sc problem!
Hi, forum. I have a very weired problem with my poweredge 1600sc. First my 1600sc lost connection (do not know why), and I went to the server and reinstalled the network driver and then restart it. Since then my 1600sc was totally dead -- no signal to monitor at all.
When I power on the 1600sc, Hard disk LEDs are green, and fans are running. My server has only one CPU, so there should be no problem of Dual CPU. Then I removed the CPU, memory, and HD, and restart the 1600sc, nothing comes out -- EVEN the beeps. I tested the CPU, memory and HD of this 1600sc on another server, they are working fine.
So I totally do not know how I figure out what's wrong with this 1600sc -- fective motherboard or power supply?
Any ideas? Thanks a lot

Hi,
I would recommend reinstalling the CPU. There will be NO beep codes without the CPU installed. Also remove, inspect and reseat each connection on the motherboard. Remove any PCI cards and external peripherals temporarily.
If you still do not receive any beep codes, the motherboard is defective.

I do not believe the power supply is defective as the fans and HDD LEDs are working. To be sure, swap it with another PowerEdge 1600 SC.
