Folks,
Has anyone
experienced any of the supposed problems with the Dell 1600 and 1650 servers?
Apparantly a percentage of these servers shipped early last year have a fault on
the motherboard, whereby the video chip actually burns up in a huge cloud of
smoke.
We are getting
conflicting reports out of Dell, depending who we talk to. The support
technicians have all said they have seen 3 or 4 of these failures each over the
past 6 months or so, but our account manager kind of glosses over the
problem.
Any feedback would
be appreciated.
thanks,
Chris
