I have not received any more replies so I am guessing this question is being ignored. So I will let everyone know what has finally happened. I have solved my issue after a lot of electrical testing. I found a diagram of the dell power supply pin layout and I performed meter testing myself as best as possible. After several rounds of testing I found several pins that did not have the correct voltage. I have purchased a new power supply. I installed it and put back everything else. I plugged in the system and it auto powered on by itself. I have since loaded an OS and it is running perfectly. Problem solved
My job recently retired this t410 server. It was running with no problems when it was shut down. I was instructed to remove and destroy the hard drives in the system. After that I was allowed to take it home for my own use. I have installed a new sata drive and plugged it into power and an open sata port on the motherboard. When I tried to start the system I get nothing. This version has the single power supply. Power supply light only comes on when you press the test button. System fan goes to full speed but stops when button on power supply is released. Also on control panel lights 1,2, and 4 light up and hard drive powers on and spins up until test button is released. There is one single green light lit on the motherboard when it is plugged in. Other than this I get no reaction when pressing the main power button. Can anyone advise how to proceed to try and get it up and running again. -Who Me-
Poweredge T410 will not do anything when power button is pressed.
