Power supply failure on PCI Chassis..
So I did my once in 10 years move all gear, clean up, and rewire and.... I hooked up my chassis to my G4, fired it all up.. lights on for all cards, f16 jet engine fan on... fire up pro tools and I got a dae error. i shut everything down. reseated the ribbon cable and interface cables. restarted, walked away. tried pro tools.. then dae deck error. I look down at the chassis and the lights on the pro tools cards were not lit and it was oddly quiet. It seems my chassis took a dump on me. The light on the front of the chassis is on but thats it. just a light. the fan on the power supply certainly isnt on neither are the vortex leaf blowers on the front of the chassis.
Shoudl i start with the power supply and where can i find out where to get one and what the right type exactly is. Anything else I can check here? SBS 8 slot Rev B MFG date: Dec 1999 Part number (model?) B5227111 sn: 217005 |

Re: Power supply failure on PCI Chassis..
Hey,
I had a similar problem with my Magma 32bit 33Hz 7 Slot chassis about 6 months ago. I kept getting DAE Errors but I can't remember the codes right now. However, I called Magma and a gentleman told me it sounded like the Power Supply was bad. I was going to get one of theirs but it was very expensive. So, I tried a 500 watt power supply from Best Buy and I haven't had anymore issues. About a $50 repair for me. I'm sure there are much better power supplies but mine is working just fine.

Re: Power supply failure on PCI Chassis..
I hope it is that easy. I was reading in a GS thread that I might need an old ATX 1.x style power supply. It was noted they require a 5 volt rail that i guess was used for the ISA bus on old PC's.
I appreciate your input. It would be nice if i could use an off the shelf power supply. |

Re: Power supply failure on PCI Chassis..
Hey,
I would pull the Magma's and take it in to Best Buy and compare. That's what I did. Worst thing is that you'll have to return it if it doesn't work. I'll check and see if I have the box right quick and I'll post back with the one I purchased.

Re: Power supply failure on PCI Chassis..
The problem is mine is not a magma but rather an SBS but yeah same point right? Pull it, bring it in, and see whats available for a replacement. Good idea. Maybe an old corner computer store might have one too.

Re: Power supply failure on PCI Chassis..
Sorry,
Couldn't find the box. So I would try the removal and replace. I hope you can get it going!
