Server / computer with Raid Setup - swapped power supply wont boot
We have a server/pc that will not completely turn on. There was a blackout and so the server/pc was on and was not shut down properly. We replaced the power supply thinking that was the issue, but every time we try and turn it on - all of the fans start and it sounds like it will turn on and within a few moments it turns right off.
Does anyone have any ideas, or is there a way I can just get the data off of one of the three RAID drives?

Why do you want to get the data from one of your RAID'ed drives? Just use your backups if you need to setup a new server. Apart from that, if you are using 3 disks in a RAID array, chances are you are using RAID 5, and then data from just 1 disk wouldn't get you anywhere.

Problem is the backup is corrupt. We have tried disconnecting different components and still no luck... Tried switching out the power supply still does the same thing, and also tried switching out the ram. The server is very old and we have the new server but nt the data. Since the power loss it won't turn back on. Any other ideas?

Figured out that all of the ports but one were burnt for the memory modules, and the video card was burnt. We were able to get one port working. All of you had the great ideas. Thank you.
