I have a 9 year old Gateway server 7400.
The signal to the video quit. After a LOT of testing a research I found the Motherboard was bad.
Got a new board. Had a few errors but then I got it to boot up.
Running Server 2003 Windows.
Said I had to reactivate. No biggy.

BUT, Then all the sudden, It was like. Power was shut down to the backplane where the SCA SCSI drives plug into. Everything else running.

I can hit the power button and they boot back up. But just for a short time. Just long enough to see the reactivate screen.

I DID hear the power kind of fluctuate a bit also. Kinda at a loss hear.

Any ideas would be grateful.

Thanks
Don

NM all.
I think I got it. For the time being anyhow.

Just pulled drives 1 & 2 and started with just the 0 then added the 2nd and
3rd drives.
Now to get the floppy working to reinstall the OS. But I need it working for the secondary software for the SCSI back plane.

Thanks again
Don
