    i took a trip to kilcock today to buy one of these from someone on arriving home it would not boot when turned on all that i hear is the cdrom drive clicking but no fans nothing nowt ive been trying different things all day icant find the problem

    do you have any idea whats wrong

    ive been googling the problem a bit one thing says theres microswitches in the side so it wont turn on without the case on it (ive no side panel) so ive been looking for the switches and cant find them another guise said remove the cpu cage and see it there a wire on the backplane that isnt plugged in as its a common problem well basically whats a backplane? i found one wire unplugged up near the power switch but there isnt anywhere to plug it in

    anyone have any ideas on whats wrong ive tried a good few things and havent a clue

    CAUTION:when powered on ACCESS PANEL must be installed for proper system cooling component stress and permanent damage may otherwise occur can somone explain to me why it says this i thought generally havint the side off the machine would mean better cooling can someone elaborate

    Airflow. The server case is designed to be cool. Leaving the side off f*cks that up. When its off you lose airflow, the fans will be doing jack sh1t for you.
