Why is the power light not lighting on my Intel Motherboard?

  Victor WilliamsAug 15, 2025
  If the power light on your Intel Motherboard isn't lighting, there could be several reasons. First, ensure the AC power cord is securely plugged into the power supply. If your power supply has a switch on the back, verify it's turned on. Check if you pressed the power-on button. In a DC powered system, ensure all DC cables are connected. Also, misplaced chassis standoffs can cause a short, so check their placement. If the system is operating normally, the power LED or the cable from the control panel to the workstation board might be defective or loose. Try removing all add-in cards to see if the system boots. Ensure the memory FBDIMMs and processor(s) comply with and are populated according to system requirements. Reseat the memory FBDIMMs and processor(s).

  If your hard drive isn't being recognized by your Intel Motherboard, start by checking the BIOS setup to ensure the drive isn't disabled. Confirm that the drive is connected correctly and receiving power. Ensure the drive is compatible with your system and that you haven't exceeded the workstation's power budget. If using SAS or SATA drives, verify they're connected to the correct ports. For ATA drives, check the master/slave settings. If you're using a RAID configuration with an add-in RAID adapter, ensure it's installed correctly.

Why can't I connect to a server using my Intel S5000XVN - Workstation Board?

  If you're unable to connect to a server with your Intel Motherboard, start by ensuring the network cable is securely attached to the correct connector on the system's back panel. Try using a different network cable to rule out cable issues. Make sure you're using the correct and current drivers, and that the driver is loaded with the protocols bound correctly. Verify the hub port is configured for the same duplex mode as the network controller. Ensure the correct networking software is installed. If you're directly connecting two servers without a hub, you'll need a crossover cable. Finally, check the network controller LEDs next to the NIC connectors.
