The 1600 can be tempremental if you fiddle about in there. Just try to reseat the psu and the smart array controller.

tks for the help but i have reseated the smart aray meny times and also tried diffrent slots ... and for some reason i still get the same problem as for the psu i have not touched ... in other words i dont think that would be the case of my problems but just in case i have reseated it to but still no sucsess

if of any help ... all the little lights on my smart aray are green exept the 2 last ones that are closer to the back there yellow..

ok, have you tried reseting the jumpers on the system board? Could be static/hand grease on a voltage regulator. Does the server beep at all?

[terry daigle]

not a sound ...

ok i got something new ... about the smart aray i moved it to the fisrt slot the lights on it are changed for the first second i hade 4 lights open green then gradualy 5 moure went green but the rest stayed closed

I would check the connections on to the mini SCSI backplane board (where the CPU board and I/O board are plugged in). Especially the cables from the power supply to that board. Do you have a single power supply, or the cage with 3 power supplies?

a single big one

It is very rare that the array controller is faulty. Our server enginner has only had 1 array controller fail in over 20 years. From what I remember, even without an array controller it should still turn on because you can have software arrays. Has this server got anything important on it (data)? I would try the jumpers if your getting no joy out of it.
