Greetings all,
I am trying to fix a r710 server for a gentleman who is trying to start a Urgent care facility.
The unit he currently has will not power up at all when hitting the power button. Opening the case, I see, what I assume, is the 24 hour power LED by the CMOS reset jumper.
I've checked all the connections I could but documentation is vague at best regarding signal tracing.
I've looked at the push button on the control/VGA board. It seems fine. When using a DVM on the button contacts, it shows 3.5V and drops to 0 when button is pushed in (turn on command). From there, I would assume it would go to the motherboard, but I am not sure. I've unplugged the riser cards and disconnected the hard drives, I've removed the power supplies one at a time and even swapped the ports, one at a time as well. The power up solid green.
I am assuming here the control/VGA port card or the main/motherboard.
I am doing this for him pro-bono, so any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Steve
