Problem:
My Dell Poweredge r510 abruptly shutdown, and would not power back on.
How the problem was resolved:
Was the problem resolved?
No, the initial problem was fixed, the server booted and all checks were good, but it failed again after a month.
Update 2024:
The issue seems to persist, occasionally powering off abruptly. It happens about once every few months.
Attempted solutions since original post:
- Changed the RAM back from 8GB sticks to the 4GB sticks I had initially.
- Removed Power Supply 1
- Put Power Supply 1 back in and pulled Power Supply 2
- Checked the motherboard for failing capacitors
- Updated everything from BIOS to IDRAC including both power supply drivers.
Unfortunately nothing has fixed this issue and I have decided to just simply live with it until I can upgrade to better hardware.
