Well, first time this happened since I got my Dell 8200.
It suddenly died. I just finished sending an email a few
minutes earlier. I'm writing from my only other live
non-server. The KVM switch was mis-installed so I can't
KVM over to my DNS server.
Does this happen often with Dells? What should I be
looking for to replace the 8200.
thanks for any suggestions.
Aloha Gary,
Dell sudden death. In my experience means a hardware failure.
EG: Two weeks ago I consulted for a friend in IT on a dead Dell server
with the removable hard drives. It turned out to be a faulty back plate
where the HD's fitted in so all 4 were not working. Dell had to send a
replacement backplate to replace the bad one.
If you can find anyone on a list with one of your type maybe they can
help you. Dell doesnt always use the same hardware in the same model
computer btw.
Check all the cables and power supply connections and re-seat everything
in the box. Something may have walked out of the board.
