https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/S5000SVN-Power-Problem/m-p/387267#M8374 <P>Hi! I recently built a server using an S5000XVN motherboard, two 5000 series CPU's and 8g of RAM. The system powers up, I get the splash screen and it goes through a network boot process, fails (fine, I'm not using network boot) and sits there waiting for a boot device. Everything seems fine. So now I need to check everything's working through system Setup. I press F2 when the system boots. It pauses for 10 seconds or so and then simply shuts off.</P><P></P><P>I looked at my power supply, a dual 400w unit and I find this isn't enough. So I have a 510w single PS I popped in there. I got into setup ok and had a look around (it looks good, 2 CPU's, 8g RAM...) but after about a minute the system just shut off again.</P><P></P><P>Do I need a much larger power supply or is this a board problem?</P><P></P><P>Thanks!</P> Thu, 25 Nov 2010 21:21:17 GMT idata 2010-11-25T21:21:17Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/S5000SVN-Power-Problem/m-p/387267#M8374 <P>Hi!
