Does anyone know of a place in Chch that can test and potentially fix PSUs? I'd usually just chuck it, but in this case is's out of a 2U server box, and has pretty specialised wiring to run 6 removeable hdd bays.
The server itself is running fine on an old AMD socket 478 board which was becoming a bit flakey after the best part of 3 years constant use in a dusty environment. I have spent about 2 months trying to replace it with a new quad core replacement, and after spending a month on the first one, my supplier admitted that the memory didn't really work with the modo I was using. So I replaced this with an Intel equivalent, which was a real pain due to the new intel graphics stuff not really being supported in the mainstream kernels, and other things. Anyway, the first board never even passed POST, and the replacement lasted less than a week. In this situation, my supplier is blaming my PSU ( which is still working fine as far as I can see ), and I'm blaming shoddy goods. I really do need to be sure that they are not wrong before trying to put another replacement mobo, etc into the server. I can temporarily lift the bonnet and run a standard sized PSU in the meantime. All I've done is to open the unit up and clean the dust out of it. Can anyone suggest a local company to service it??? As usual the tenuous link is that this is out of my linux server (: Cheers, Steve -- Steve Holdoway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
