I Have a IBM X3400 Server it was connected to a Ups Due to high fluctuation in power the ups got shorted since then the sever doesn't turn on the ac light on the SMPS comes on but no dc also the BCM Heart Beat Led Flashes green And the front led next to the power switch flashes green. Since i have checked the price of a new SMPS to be @ 25000 Rupees in India i would like to make sure its a SMPS problem and not the motherboard
Since you haven't mentioned the type of server its unsure server has single type or dual type SMPS. This issue can due to SMPS as well Plannar (motherboard) issue. But as per post i really doubt you have bad motherboard since you see BMC and other LEDS on motherboard gets blinking..
You can troubleshoot motherboard issue this way. Press and hold server power button. Check if this makes server start. If it starts, then its confirmed you have bad motherboard.. You may also inspect whether motherboard has bulged capacitors inside..
Thanks

The install is fairly easy. Before you begin make sure if you have SCSI adaptors installed have the drivers for them on hand. If you do not have these drivers you should download them to a 1.4MB floppy disk. When you are ready, put the Windows Server disk in the cd/dvd and reboot the IBM. Follow the instructions on screen and you shoud be fine. From start to finish it should take you about 1 1/2 hours to complete everything.
Good Luck

Hi
Welcome to fixya
Sounds like the Power cage has the fault .Probably this case would arise if the power cage gets fault This reason is the server is not getting the proper power to start . Probably this case would arise if the power cage gets fault.
Please replace the power cage and this will solves the problem
Thanks

hi,
Welcome to Fixya
1: Check whether the power switch has any problem
2: Check Ac and DC led on smps is glowing
3: If it glows , probably the planner(Motherboard ) has the problem
Thanks
