Common Problems and Solutions

For a list of hardware components that have been tested with this system, see: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s3000PT/

The system does not boot or show video at power-on:

Component Layout

Check that +12V CPU power connector is plugged in. Without this cable the processor will not have any power.

Beep code 4-3-2-1 means you have unrecognized or bad memory. Remove and replace DIMMs one bank at a time to isolate which one is causing problems.

Remember, all DIMMs must be:

DDR2 400/533/667 MHz compliant unbuffered, ECC or non-ECC, SPD SDRAM 240-pin gold DIMMs.

The same speed.

From the same manufacturer.

Installed beginning with DIMM 1A.

Your power supply must provide a minimum of 200-W with 2A standby current, which complies with the SSI EPS 12V specification.

The system sometimes works, but is exhibiting erratic behavior:

This is typically the result of using an under-rated power supply. Make sure you are using at least a 200-W power supply.
