I can only second Griff on this one : changed my PSU twice in very short time, and had to change the computer as next move.

Restarted this afternoon the poor old thing.
Let's see if it works as expected or not.
:cross-fingers:
Now the building of the PSU interfaces have been interesting... there are conversion cables for almost every single thing under the sun...
|
|
|
|

Never seen that one. Doesn't the MOBO have those little white letters on it that identify the connectors? I can't tell from that angle/zoom.
|

It seems it is an ESP12V connector. There are no normal PSU's out there with that, but they sell a small cable that converts the normal molex connector (the one to power the ide hdd's) to that special thing.
From that point I've got a normal PSU and several conversion plugs.
Now it works again.

Joan,
Can the server be virtualised and run on a new box using VMware ESXi or HyperV?
There is software available (free I think) that will do P2V (Physical to Virtual) conversions.

Good idea for the future, but how do you make this conversion if you can't start it up? I wouldn't move the raid over to another server until I had exhausted all other possibilities.

You're assuming it is running RAID. Hard to tell from the zoomed in picture we had to look at, but if it's in a factory I'm betting it is a tower not a rack mountable box and I've dealt with enough of the smaller Proliant boxes were I have found most to have no RAID. If this is so then load the HDD in another machine running said software and let it image the boot drive to a VM.
We'll need Joan to pipe in soon with more detail.

Yes. It's a server

That's Michael the best option for sure. Once you get a virtualized server then you don't have to worry about the permissions to copy files in your backups, you got freedom in terms of assigning the space that a server can use...
Anyway this was out of scope now.
At the end I've ended getting a normal PSU and connecting plenty of conversion plugs around to be able to connect everything.
Now it works and I'm everyone here is happy so ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif)

You have a backup right?

Yes, I had it, the problem was more on the side of getting the right hardware to plug all the physical keys and licenses for several of the softwares that are used than anything else.
Now we are running again!

I've got a new PSU and several conversion plugs for 23€ which is fat cheaper than the 300+/-€ that HP asked for a new one... plus the fact they would have needed 2 weeks or more to get it to my company...
Or get a technician here after 3 weeks adding it's cost to the 300+/-€ of the PSU.
Now I'm working for almost nothing and it looks nice!
Crossing fingers and hoping it will last long!
|
|
|
|
|

Yep, all those paths have been followed, all of them failed when HP told me that they could have the PSU at our door after 2 or 3 weeks.
At the end I've got a new PSU and a set of conversion cables and running!

That went better than expected - round two either tomorrow or early next week, then a faceto--face at the end of next week. If I get through that, they're targeting a New Year start.

It's as taste tester for Gordons - there is a lot of competition.

Chris is running out of beer stock in datacenters. Looks like the hamsters started to party every night. Now he's cutting it down for us through small mugs.

..Is a software engineer without Web skills?
I call myself a Developer for Microsoft technologies but not knowing Asp.net/ Javascript & the whole lot of words like HTML5 , Knockout, etc etc makes me feel small.
And the most of the job requirements sent to me asks for , .net Framework,C#, WPF, Asp.net-MVC, WCF, . .
Very few ends up with C++/C#,Winforms,WPF,WCF. in particular when it's a combo of C++/C#.
But there's too many jobs pulling C# towards asp.net than towards C++.
