Proliant ML330 G3 Server

[Ted_50]

I recieved this error after rebooting from a long weekend. "Error 215: non functioning voltage regulator module for processor 1 and 2". Do I need a new voltage regulator or is there an adjustment? and what might have caused this problem?

Thanks,
Ted

Ted,

Update to the latest system BIOS as a first step since HP are always adding support and fixes for Intel CPU's to the BIOS.

If the problem perists you may have to get the system board replaced since the PPM (Processor Power Modules -Previosuly called VRM's) are integrayed into the system board on the ML330 G3.

I hope this helps.

How am I supposed to update the BIOS if the server will not start????

Sorry Ted,

You didn't make it clear that the server would not start but it makes sense if it's a continuous, solid fault. Some errors can be bypassed by pressing F1 when prompted. In your case you'll need to log a call with HP and get them to come and fix it.

Some part numbers:-

ML330 G3 System board - 324709-001
2.4Ghz Xeon CPU - 325034-001
2.8Ghz Xeon CPU - 324708-001
3.06Ghz Xeon CPU - 333055-001

It could be a CPU pulling down one of the voltages.

Regards,

Brian

Ted ,
I really don't think that both of the PPM shoul be going bad at the same time unless
system board or powersupply have gone bad......
so try booting the server with one processor...and....
try doing a power recycling
