Got it running after a complete overhaul and cleanup, hoping it will be up so long as I need to check the last backup. Fan connectors were of course the wrong type, but it spins so far. With any luck I might be able to prevent data loss. Need to rethink this. I mean, we use RAID to prevent HDD...

Well, since the RAID as such is connected to a currently non working enclosure/controller the only backup option I have is to do a sector-by-sector backup of the disks themselves. So far so good. That would potentially require 8 TB, since the HDD's are 2TB each. I do not have that available, I...

I have a Promise Smartstor 4300 (listed under legacy products at www.promise.com that has served me well for about three years. Yesterday it was blinking and the HDD indicators all messed up. After a reset I was able to boot it and get in to the web interface. RAID was ok. But eventually the fan...

I have verified compatitbility via bios upgrade and ordered a replacement bios chip via www.biosman.com

sigh...it seems I do not have any gfx card that fit that green socket. Anyhow, tried with only one cpu, still no results. I am very close to give this up and remount the s2912.

Nope. No result. I switched the RAM as adviced, reviewed the manual again, and nothing. The board give signal to the keyboard, the cpu fans and other connectors (reset and fans and those) seem to work, but nothing happens. It may very well be booting, but I can see nothing of it. Since the cpu...

That would be the slots farthest to the right on that image? Cause, no I currently have them on the slots closest to the cpu...(DIMM1 and DIMM2). Will test later... :pt1cable:

hiya, I recently purchased this s3970 mobo and just today started the assembly. Everything seems to check out, but I get no VGA from the internal gfx adapter. I hit the power button, there are no beeps, all seems to be powering up nicely, fans roll, hdd spins all that, but I get no image...

No ideas?

Ok more info. Sometimes I do really n00bish errors. :p Turns out the beeps were warning for bad ram config. I had the ram sticks in same coloured sockets, when the opposite should have been the case. Boy was I worried yesterday. I did a CMOS reset and nothing. Would not boot. I kept hearing...

I wonder if anyone could help me locate and recommend a CPU Cooler that has a larger fan and better cooling than: http://www.dynatron-corp.com/en/product_detail_1.aspx?cv=1-3-138&id=135&in=0 Thing is that one comes with a special measurement in the two opposite mounting holes: 4,1 inch or 104...

I recently purchased a second hand Tyan n3600r: http://www.tyan.com/product_SKU_spec.aspx?ProductType=MB&pid=547&SKU=600000049 Other hardware: 2 x AMD Quad Core Opteron 2376 HE - 2.3Ghz OS2376PAL4DGI 6 x QIMONDA HYS72T256220HP-3S-A 2GB PC2-5300 DDR2-667MHz 2 x Dynatron A84G Copper Heatsink for...

Suddenly one 5000 dropped out. Just like that. Coming to think of, it might have been after a power failure, but I am not sure since I was not at home. And it was connected directly to the mobo socket. *sigh*

OK did the first "to do". Result of WD Diag: So that one is covered.

Actually I found no Promise card in that price span (TX4650 costs about $200, Sweden) but I did find an Adaptec 1430SA (SataII) for roughly $110. I wish I knew about a US hardware store that delivered to Europe...:/
