Dedictated Micros DS2A zero volts on hard drive power

DS2A DX16 320GB

 

Upgraded original drive to a Seagate SV35.2 500gb drive a number of years ago.

Unit has been operational since. Over the weekend I found that there was a grey video o/p from the main monitoring o/p. As I was unable to access any menu system, so I had to pull power to reboot. On reboot no boot up sequence.

Removed hard drive, contents accessible, so I backed up.

Replaced with original 320gb Deathstar, same issue, no boot loader sequence.

 

Checked voltage into hard drive, 0v.

Tried a separate power supply to just power drives up, this would only work when the ide cable was disconnected from the main board.

 

Tried the unit on another DM power supply, still no boot up.

Am I right in thinking that the boot up system is stored on the hard drive and not on board. Anyone come across this before?

 

 

Thanks

Yes, it's the old brick style power supply unit with internal fans.
