Re: dl380 g4
yeah its maybe too complicated for its own good. whilst startup may be thought of in a typical bios way, some stuff may be separately hardware based instead. i hope its the bloody board, otherwise there is the vrm and backplane although they are not so expensive. i did not think the backplane was very advanced so i did not consider to replace that.
i am rethinking my strategy for the future though. what is the point of all this special stuff when it just fails and makes things difficult to repair. i would rather have a bunch of generic crap and very good backup. a bit like webhosting. thanks to linux can just connect a new server and up again without any active directory pdc shit. at the moment they are using just a piece of crap pii 300 running centos without gui.
yes you are correct about the ups. indeed this problem occur after i boot it on the ups which previously show battery fault. i checked it with a junk pc before i connected the server though. i will check this time with multimeter. i dont expect a problem though.
still at least i learnt this servers hardware a bit better than before after doing all this troubleshooting and taking it apart....
