I added an Adaptec SCSI card to my 4200 to use with a tape drive for backups. After installing the card and powering on, I get the solid green power led, the system status led blinks amber once very quickly, then stays off. The system powers on, but never posts. I have removed the SCSI card and still have the same issue. I have also tried removing the different hardware components to get some sort of error/response from the server with no luck (RAM, HD, PCI reiser, network, vga, and keyboard cables). I have also tried to clear the CMOS and use the reset switch, though from what I can tell the reset switch will do no good unless you're in the OS. Other notes - when powered off but plugged in, the led on the power supply blinks, what looks to me like a green-yellow-orange color. When powered on it is the same color, only solid. I don't have another snap server to compare it to, so the color may be fine. I can see the leds on the board, the ones that are lit are all green. Any ideas.....?
