Unexplained re-boots on Proliant 800

Unexplained re-boots on Proliant 800

Unexplained re-boots on Proliant 800

(OP)
This has happend twice in the past month with no indication in the event viewer, Dr. Watson, or Insight Manager as to the cause. I know this is a good indication of a bad power supply, but does anyone have a suggestion on what I could check before shelling out the cash for a power supply?

RE: Unexplained re-boots on Proliant 800

I would assume you already have it on a UPS. If not, that would be the first thing since there could be a power fluctuation coming to the box. Also, I believe Compaq's warranty is 3 years which is about how long ago that model was introduced.

RE: Unexplained re-boots on Proliant 800

We have had this problem on sporadic Proliant 800's. If you have a UPS that puts out a stepped-
sine wave when on the batteries, this could be your problem. If it's an APC Back-UPS brand, replace
it with a current model Smart-UPS version. They have real sine wave out. If there is just a momentary
line glitch with the Back-UPS, enough to cause it to switch over, it can cause an unexplained reboot.
Not all combinations of 800's and APC's exhibit the problem.

ASR, if it is enabled, can cause this under certain conditions - learned the hard way myself!!
