ok so i decided to check the other 2 servers that are on and i saw this message on the first server

Is it talking about the UPS battery that it is connected too????

Odd message for a server, but it sounds like it could be referring to the cmos battery inside of the server.

OK so here what I discovered

We unplug the server and plug it back on and it start to smoke so I unplug it and put it in another Outlet and it coming on

I only have 1 ps running instead of 2

I getting new error message now



E1614 ps2 status e161c ps2 input lost  

E1624 ps redundancy

I 1911 >3 errs chk log

How do i check log??
def sounds like your PSU is shot.,.
OK folks so it happened again

New error now e1229 cpu 1 vcore

E1229 cpu 2 vcore

E1000 fail safe call support

I guess something probably is wrong with the server itself and I need to get it checked out......
Now it  sounds like the board is bad or going bad since your getting a combination of errors now. I would def look into a replacement board.
OK so here what

Came today and I noticed everything is powered off and not coming on so I assume the UPS is dead now!!!!
