Welcome to F**k Me Friday. Internal support ticket:
Vlad,
I attached a spare power supply to your server and noticed after I attempted to power it on smoke rising from one of the components on the motherboard. I quickly disconnected the power from the unit, the power supply used for the test still tests good, although I think the motherboard may be the source of your problems.
Followed by:
“The deceased server has been laid to rest in your spares..”
Reverse midas-touch this week with Dell. I don’t know if they have disgruntled people in their QC department or if we’re just down on our luck but this is just funny.
I think the source of your problems may be that your server is on fire…. 🙂
