Have a Dell Poweredge 1800 Server with a dying or dead power supply? First of all, let me send my condolences, and know that there is a solution or two.
The Poweredge 1800 server came with 2 versions of power supplies; redundant and non redundant. These “mini towers” were a great small business solution for financial and space purposes. As with most things, there is a time to be born, a time to die, a time to work and a time to panic.
It seems like the last 6 months of 2010 have seen a large number of Dell Poweredge 1800 power supplies fail. The first part of the year, it seems the Non Redundant Power supplies were hard to find and the redundant pretty common. Now they are both very hard to find, but it seems like the non redundant power supplies are a little easier to locate then the redundant.
So, is a new server not in your budget and your Dell Poweredge 1800 is down? There are options. You can convert each system. Example, if you have a PE1800 Server that has redundant power supplies, but you can’t find any replacement redundant power supplies, but can find non redundant power supplies you can remove the power distribution board and ribbon cables and install a non redundant power supply. Best practices always preaches that: redundancy is best, redundancy is best, redundancy is best, but in cases of late with this model of server, non redundancy may be your only option to limp you along until budgets loosen up or you’re so frustrated you take a sledge hammer and beat the PE1800.
It is also possible to convert the Non redundant power supply unit to a redundant unit. You just add a power distribution board and ribbon cables hook it up and you’re good to do.
Both types of power supplies are hard to come by, but if you find yourself down and needing one, I hope this helps.
I recently replaced the redundant power supplies into a non redundant. Is there a setting in the BIOS that needs to change in order for the server to stop checking for the ribbon cable that was part of the power distribution board when it was running redundancy?
ReplyDeleteModern control panel power supplies now come in the form of DIN rail mounted systems, which are far more suitable to the modern workplace.

Getting an Urgent passport was scary, but it was pleasantly beneficial. It was amazing how quickly and efficiently my expedited processing application was processed. The passport agency's excellent customer service offered clear instructions and updates. I hope I'll never be in a similar position again, but knowing there are expedited processes for urgent passport requirements is comforting. It shows how passport services may react to real-world situations.
