Old server help please HP ML330 G6

[RobMozza]

Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place.. I couldn't find a heading for servers? Please be so kind as to move this to the correct heading, thank-you in advance.

So I've just got this old server. The PSU was fried so rather than pay £80 for a 'reconditioned' original 480W, I paid £20 for a 500W ATX PSU. Admittedly I had to Dremel out a little slot to allow it to fit correctly (see photo) - 

The server POSTs, then boots (currently into a Linux MemTest to determine system stability) but unfortunately it seems to suffer a system health event at random intervals (30 minutes, 7 minutes, 22 minutes, 49 minutes, 36 minutes etc.) and then does one of the following :

(1) Ramps up fans, external LED flashes Red and the internal VRM LED8 has a Red light. The 8 LED's titled 'SEBC' seem to give a random and varying degree of flashes. Followed by an automatic reboot.

(2)  Ramps up fans, external LED flashes Red and the 8 LED's titled 'SEBC' seem to give a random and varying degree of flashes. Hangs awaiting on a hard shutdown (power off, holding the power button down for 10 seconds, waiting and then powering back on)

I can find nothing mentioning the VRM LED8 nor the bank of eight SEBC LED's mentioned in the manual or the service guide.

I've reduced the server to minimal parts, one stick of RAM, no add in cards.

I have followed the fault diagnosis flow charts (both the Server power-on problems flowchart and the Server fault indications flowchart) several times but seem to always end up at "Use maintenance tools to identify the problem"

I've ordered a new motherboard, but that isn't due to be delivered until 5th-11th of December.

Have I overlooked anything please or am I on the right track?

Hi:

HP split into two companies back in 2014.

HP supports PC's, printers, tablets and calculators.

HP Enterprise (HPE) supports servers, switches, routers and enterprise storage devices.

You may want to post your question on the HPE Community forum -- Proliant servers section:

You're very welcome. 

You have a nice weekend too, and I hope one of the folks on the HPE server forum can help get your server up and running. 

Cheers,

Paul
