K400 troubles

[Serhiy Cherpatyuk]

Hello,

from time to time server shuts off with this messages on the front LCD:

DC OVERVOLTAGE
POWER SHUTDOWN

after that server turns on only after a few hours of idle. But the boot-process failed with next cycling messages on the LCD:

FLT 5002
FLT CBFC
FLT CBF1
FLT CBF0

till the end of time ;)

Only after memory board reinsertion or memory board and CPUs reinsertion/swaping server bots into normal condition.

The question is what I have to replace? System board, power monitor board, power supply or I have to burn this server?

Thank you.

The DC Overvoltage typically indicates a problem with the power supply. There is a chance there is a problem with the power monitor board as well, but less likely. The PM card is used throughout the K class series so if you have another server and some down-time to play with you can try the PM board to see if this helps or not.

The part numbers if you are curious are:

0957-0279 925 Watt Power Supply
A3641-60025 Power Monitor Board

I fully agree with Robert. I only want to add that if this problem will reoccur try unplugging server's power cord from its power supply, wait a little and try powering it on again. It should work as soon as all the electricity will drain out and all circuits will be reset completely

Problem with PS is not the main. The primary target is problem with FLT. Unfortunately this server - only one. And I can't play with boards. Replacement of the PS costs a lot of money, may be this replacement solves "DC Overvoltage" problem, but what about FLTs?

Thanks.

Thank you, Massimo. But I know the descriptions of this major codes. How can I determine which part I have to replace?
