Hi all,
My HS server died this afternoon. I think it's the motherboard (Quanmax kemx-2130), but wanted to run it by the experts here to make sure. Here's what I tried so far:
- system does not boot, does not display anything on a monitor and no beeps either.
- removed hard drive and installed in another pc. I can boot of it and access it without any problems.
- hooked up another power supply and system still does not boot, nothing on monitor.
- removed memory and booted. Hear long beeps, but nothing on screen.
- reinstalled memory and boot. No beeps, nothing on the screen.
Motherboard has a couple of bulging caps near the processor. Can't find the exact board online any more. Any thoughts before I take out the soldering iron to try to swap the caps? Any thoughts on a new system? I still have quite a few serial connected devices so looking with a motherboard with 4+ serial ports and 6+ usb ports and ideally something with a PCI slot so that I can use the HS PCI modem. If there's nothing around with a PCI slot, does anyone have any experience with a PCIe to PCI adapter?
Thanks
Al
