Need some help from someone more knowledgeable with Supermirco X9DRD-7LN4F Dual Socket LGA 2011 Extended ATX Server Motherboard

So my server was working fine, but I bought some noctua 120mm fans to replace my fan wall. When I completed it my power supply has a amber light on it and will not power on. What could cause this too happen.

Is this in an 846 or 847? Were the stock fans connected directly to the motherboard, or to a separate control board?

I assume you just have the one PSU? Reseat it into the PDB?

I am only using one at the moment. It takes 2. Still learning the server world. What does the PDB stand for.

What does the PDB stand for.

Power distribution board.

It is what both power supplies plugin to to power the system.
