Looking for anyone that has an old 1U Opteron that they might want to part with or that goes on site to Datashack in Kansas City.
I am in a rather strange situation. We have a server down at Datashack in Kansas City.
The facility hands on folks seem unable to perform a swap of a failed CPU fan that is causing overheating and shutdown of the server. It's a colocated server and they say they don't mix their hardware with colo'd equipment. Mind you willing to buy the parts and pay the admin time.
My options are to wait until "billing" comes in to decide what they will or won't do or order a dedicated server and wait 2 days.
Hands on would be ideal, but if not, a live already there Opteron 2xx series will suffice.
Anyone have anything?
PS: Mind you, admins toying around the server should have noted the fan churn. This started at 5AM and we didn't get told about the audible sound until 8-9PM. 15-16 hours here ongoing.
