Servo drives and VFDs are two different animals. VFDs are typically designed to spin squirrel cage induction motors (think standard 3 phase motors), where rotor slip is used to generate the magnetic field in the rotor. Servo drives are designed to spin synchronous AC motors/servo motors that

Peter is right. You need to read the manual. Motherboards beep in codes on startup if something is wrong. Do you have the 4pin power plug jack connected on the MB? I think the 1900's all require those to be connnected to the power supply. Otherwise beep code! Dave On 12/14/2014 11:14

Two bad motherboards are less likely than one bad DIMM. Yes, you wouldn't get video if the memory was bad---without memory, the system probably runs a limited amount of code from BIOS ROM, and stops trying to test and use memory, before initializing the video subsystem. Since memory costs around
