Hello everyone!
My name´s William and this is my first post. I love retro hardware in general (PC and gaming consoles), but when it comes to PC I have special devotion for 1997-2001 era. 😊
I´ve recently acquired an ASUS P3C-D motherboard, that later found out belongs to a HP Kayak XM-600 workstation. It´s a dual slot 1, RIMM (RDRAM) based, intel 820 chipset motherboard.
The purchase included a PIII 600mhz (133mhz bus) CPU, a RIMM module, the needed continuity module, the original PSU and also a small "box" which contains a display and the power & reset switches. Under normal circumstances this "box" is attached to the front of the original cabinet (which I don´t own), connected internally (proprietary connector) to the motherboard.
The thing is that when I push the power button, the self test starts showing in the display ( to give you an idea: https://youtu.be/S4MWiJpENu0) but the system does not start. In the display the error code states "No hardware monitoring". 😕
My question then is, could it be the case that the motherboard cannot be used inside another cabinet/chassis other than the original? (maybe the original cabinet has got another cable that must be connected to the motherboard, to accomplish hardware monitoring functions?)
I couldn´t find much information on it but a rather general online manual, nothing specific related to the issue I am experiencing. So I decided to ask for hints in the most suitable online forum for this type of subject.
Any suggestion would be more than appreciated! Thank you very much in advance!
