Dead 7000

[Ayman Altounji]

I bought a Proliant 7000 at an auction last week.
It was bought as "not working", but was worth the price I paid for the parts I could take out and put in my Proliant 2500 (dual network card, memory, LCD display, extra cpu).

But it looked to be all there (other than drives/array card which I can put in)., so I tried to get it working.
It fired up, fans/lights working, but no beeps and no message on the monitor no change on LCD screen from when power was off (plugged in on standby) and the on light above the on/standby switch remained off. Looking at the system/motherboard while on and only green lights (no faults indicated).

Lights on one power supply do not turn on though the fan spins, and the other has steady amber light indicating a power problem. Swapping the power supplies position and the same result on them. Only one power supply either no power up or the amber light on the other.

Anybody know if my problem is the power supply, or elsewhere?? Also could it be memory as what was in it, while fitting, does not match what is on compaq's website as compatible memory.

It could be the memory. Can I have the serial number and the part numbers off of the memory and the processors please. Could be switch settings, etc.

Memeory is all compaq, 4 each of 22846-001, 169234-002(if not 7000, what does this fit?, 224099-002, 185891-002. I have tried having only each each 4 at a time. No go.
Both CPU's are compaq Pentium Pro 200, KB00521EX200 SL22Z 512K.
While I had both CPU's out I tried the CPU from my 2500 (only 256K), same result.

Thanks

Fumble fingers.
22846=228468, and 224099=221099.
