PowerEdge 1950 - E1000 & E1217
I managed to acquire a PE 1950 recently, and it doesn't work properly. When I plug in the system and fire it up, the fans run for about 10 seconds before the computer turns off and throws errors E1000 - Failsafe and E1217 - 5V PwrGd. I've tried a few things already to no avail. The person I got it from said the last time he used it, it worked fine, and there are no leaky capacitors or anything that I can find on the motherboard. I'm not sure exactly how long it's been since he has used it however.
If you happen to have any knowledge on the subject, that would be greatly appreciated. I saw a few articles with similar issues, but they haven't been very helpful, hence why I'm making this.

Hello thanks for choosing Dell and welcome to our community-
You said you had already checked some articles so I'm unsure if you have seen this already but would still attach for future reference:
the model specific owner's manual here: https://dell.to/3KLW6Yx

PowerEdge Server 9G, 10G and 11G does not start with a E1000 FailSafe Error
The most probable component involved is the motherboard however, we cannot provide a quote to the customer for the issue because we do not have spare parts for it
We stopped manufacturing and supporting 1950 a very long time ago.
The standard troubleshooting steps apply to this server as well.
Please test the server at Minimum to POST configuration -> CPU-A + MB + DIMM A1 + PSU + Risers + Front control panel.
If the server fails to power ON even after MTP configuration, then I guess you would need to acquire spares from 3rd party vendors and isolate further since we will not be able to provide a quote for spares.
Respectfully,
