did you discover that little bits are falling off your board ?

Hi all,
Anyone got one of these? If so, an unusual request. Can anyone tell me the
value of R91 (reverse side near regulation section) and C132? R91 will be
printed on the tiny SMD device in the format of three numbers. The cap is
probably just a decoupler, around 1nF but if anyone has a schematic, I'd
appreciate confirmation.

The backplane boards have the same habit of losing their SMT LEDS ,
very annoying

No, LC, I discovered that my PFY has an aim with a PCI card that is akin
to
a British Enfield .303; the ballistic pattern of a tossed brick. You're
sure to catch something electrical, but it's more likely to be an 0603 SMD
than the PCI slot. Now we have a more modern server with dividing plates
and no PFY, I may be able to keep the thing in running order.

I just need the value of the resistor. The cap, as I said, is probably a
decoupler and I can slap a 1n on its location. SMT rework isn't a problem
here, unless we're talking huge BGAs (think i920s) which I don't have the
equipment for.

OK, I'm typing slowly so you can understand what I'm saying ;o) (I'm
joking,
BTW. You're obviously not a BOFH fan)

The assistant admin person destroyed these two components by scraping
another PCI card (IIRC it was a NIC) along the back of the RILO board
whilst trying to install it.

Did you make him stand with his nose in the corner?

It makes you wonder what 'team' he is on!


(¯`·._.· £ãrrÿ ·._.·´¯)


Not recommended for assistants to do,
especially when the real sysadmin is watching. No chance of flipping to
page 35 of the excuses calendar and trying the "rodents in the NIC" excuse
for the lack of server. I never had the foresight to save the little grain
of sand from the board, even if I had been able to find it. I did,
however,
save the broken RILO board, and now I'd like to use it. Obviously, I need
to repair it before I can.

Now, let me restate my request: Can anyone with a RILO board with the
above
part number please give me the resistor value for part reference R91 and
save me buying a new RILO board? It will be in the format of three
numbers,
such as 103 for a 10k resistor (the last figure is the multiplier, or
number of zeroes after the significant figures). Some, such as 682 (6k8)
may look like 589 if read upside down, but since a 58000M resistor isn't
in
the E series, I think we'll be pretty safe! WARNING: You may need a
magnifying glass if you don't want to end up with eyesight like mine...

Its been a long, long, long time since i read any of the BOFH postings ...

completely missed any and all references that would be considered inside
jokes.

Unless you have the soldering tools to do this safely, give up now. You can
get an RILOE I board for $19.95 on ebay (no cables and stuff, but you can
still get it).

Mitigate the time and pain-in-the-arse factor.

Is this an RILOE (I, II) ? Is it PCI ? Serial or LAN connection ?

I have 1 I series board, and 1 II series board. I will check on that for you
when i get the chance.

I dont have any of the old-school RIB boards, PCI or EISA that were analog
OOB models.

They are making the boards with these nifty protectors on the back of them
now, that appear to prevent components from being sheared off by the
ignorant masses. Tried to get the thing off ( of the RILOW II board, the
other is in a live machine), with no luck.

I have a scheduled maintenance window this weekend, i aill try to look at
the Series I card then.

Ciao,

Thanks for the advice, which I would probably give if pushed, but my
background as a techie started with electronics, which led to SMT support
and later production engineering before I defected to the real technical
stuff like network cables with AC outlet plugs on them. I think I can just
about manage a couple of passives with simply tweezers and my soldering
station. I won't even need to get the hot air rework station out.

Mitigate the time and pain-in-the-arse factor.

Nah, the board would still bug me even if I got another one. It's broken,
I've found the fault, I could fix it in three minutes (it takes two for
the
soldering station to get up to the correct temperature) and it will save
me
the adrenaline rush of another eBay auction.

Is this an RILOE (I, II) ? Is it PCI ? Serial or LAN connection ?

PCI RILO I, LAN connection with backup PSU (10.5V), keyboard/mouse
pass-through, ATi graphics and virtual power button header. Piccy of the
beast he
http://www.dontneednew.com/store/CBS...?idProduct=371

I have 1 I series board, and 1 II series board. I will check on that for
you when i get the chance.

That would be great! Thanks, LC. The part I'm interested in is around the
center of the board, a little towards the rear on the "back" of the board
(no conventional components). It's around the area of the voltage
regulation section if you'd recognize that a little better.

Thanks for the help.

Hmm, looks like it could be a common problem with Proliants and

I'd appreciate that. Thanks.

Hi all,
Anyone got one of these? If so, an unusual request. Can anyone tell me the
value of R91 (reverse side near regulation section) and C132? R91 will be
printed on the tiny SMD device in the format of three numbers. The cap is
probably just a decoupler, around 1nF but if anyone has a schematic, I'd
appreciate confirmation.
