Proliant 5000r
My other 5000r is doing the same thing. During POST it resets itself. I can't even run diagnostics. I've reseated everything but no progress. These are nice machines I hate to throw them into the dumpster.
Anyone have a suggestion for keeping these out of a landfill?

Re: Proliant 5000r
This is similar to issues I have seen with faulty Processor VRM's on the Proliant 5000.
You can try the system with only 1 CPU module in (Using the other without CPU's and VRM's simply as a terminator module).
Check the VRM's using the first CPU module.
You can have up to 6 VRM's in the Proliant 5000 (1 above each CPU = 4 + 2 redundant in the centre slots on the CPU modules).
If you need a troubleshhoting guide for the PL5000 just e-mail me at brian.murdoch@hp.com
I hope this helps.
Brian

Re: Proliant 5000r
Is there any way to test the VRM I removed other than reinstalling it in the 5000 again?

Re: Proliant 5000r
Sounds promising so far.
It's probably just components which have goen out of tolerance it the regulator circuit so you could spend a small fortune trying to get to the botom of it and I'm not sure that anyone would have the test equipment to check them properly.
Save yourself the expense.
There are a few on Ebay for as little as $4.99 which you can buy directly. The spare part number (service part) is 219209-001.

Good Luck

Re: Proliant 5000r
I worked on the second 5000r yesterday, removing both CPU card and the 3 VRMs from each. I noticed one of the VRMs appeared to have black coloring on 3 of the pins and the corresponding pins on the CPU card were also blacked as if something had shorted. Since I had the extra CPU cards / VRMs I replaced the one CPU card and that particular VRM and the machine fired up without incident and has been running for 16 hours. I'm currently running two instances of Seti@home to keep the machine busy.
This server is in the same 10 x 14 room as three HP Color Laserjet 8550 printers. This company prints thousands of sheets per day and the aroma of toner is heavy in the room. I noticed a build-up of "dust" around the vents and fans on the 5000r.
My question: could the toner and other dust in the room be conductive? Could a build-up of exhausted toner cause an electrical short? Will I be back there in another year replacing another CPU card / VRM set? Should I schedule quarterly maintenance to break down the machine brushing or blowing out the build-up of "dust" to try to prevent another outage?
