So I'm building a computer with a Tyan K8SE.
The power supply is a 650w redundant EPS from a Intel SC5200.
I usually test the motherboard and power supply without any chips/RAM
first to make sure everything is okay.
I give the motherboard power and some fans start spinning -- the two
exhaust fans, the 4 pin front pan, but not the two fans plugged into
the connectors at the rear of the board. The lights light up across the
board on the ethernet, etc. And then everything goes dead. Is this
normal behavior for the board?
I give it power again, and one of the power supply modules goes up in
smoke (there are two power supply models in the cage). The other one is
fine and shows a normal LED condition. The fried module is permanently
failed and the LED light shows a fault condition for the supply.
This was a new power supply. So my question is, is my board screwed?
Did I do something real bad? OR was the power supply module just DOA? I
can get another module, but now am I very worried and afraid to throw
CPUs, RAM, etc. at the board.
