I would appreciate some help with the following problem:
I've been running my system without any problems for 2 months
Intel SC5100 server chassis with stock DELTA DPS-350EB PSU,
Tyan S2665 motherboard (BIOS Rev 1.11A),
1 Intel Xeon 2.0 GHz CPU,
2 Crucial 512Mb unbuffered PC2100 DDR modules,
1 Maxtor Atlas 10K IV "Cobra" 36GB U320 HDD,
NVidia Geforce4 MX440 video card
But finally I decided to upgrade the system to the following config:
2 Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz CPU,
4 Crucial 512Mb unbuffered PC2100 DDR modules,
4 Maxtor Atlas 10K IV "Cobra" 36GB U320 drives.
I figured out that I would need some "extra juice" to power up this new
config. So I have also ordered the Enermax EG851AX-VH EPS12V compatible PSU.

After I received all the new components I shut the server down,
disconnected AC power, disconnected all peripheral devices,
dismounted the motherboard and removed the old CPU. Then I
installed 2 new CPUs and added 2 more memory modules. At all times I
was wearing anti-static wrist strap connected to the chassis.
At this point I got motherboard with only 2 CPUs, 4 RAM modules and video
card installed. I connected the Enermax PSU to the board and flipped
power switch on the PSU. CPU fans have spinned for a second and that was
it. The system didn't start. Pressing PowerON and Reset buttons (connected
to pins 25-26 and 29-30 of the connector J74 didn't have any effect either.
I didn't hear any diagnostic beeps.
I connected the old DELTA PSU. The CPU fans started spinning at full speed
right after I plugged in the power cord but system still didn't start. Then
I removed the CPU from CPU Socket #2 and system with single 2.66GHz CPU was
able to start with the old 350W DELTA PSU. I replaced the CPU in Socket #1
with the CPU I removed from Socket#2 earlier - the second CPU also works in
the single CPU config with the old DELTA PSU.
I tried this new ENERMAX PSU with Intel SBT2 server board with 2 Intel
Pentium III Xeon 866MHz CPUs installed - it worked just fine.
So far I have 2 working Intel Xeon CPUs, 1 working ENERMAX EPS12V
compatible PSU, 1 working (at least in single CPU config) Tyan S2665
motherboard - which do not work together. What did I miss? What is wrong
with using this PSU with the Tyan board I have?
