Proliant ML310 Gen 8 v2 startup failure

steveli — Fri, 21 May 2021 10:25:00 GMT

To date I have not been able to solve a problem with my HP Proliant ML310E Gen 8 v2 server :

The server POST but stops when it is doing memory and QPI Link iintialization.at 20% with a continus noise and status code 0168. After this , the screen goes blank. I suspected the dimms and changed them without success ! It also behaves the same without any dimms ! It seems something else is not working properly ! Please, help.

Hello,

yu should try to reseat all PCI Devices and the CPU, maybe this helps. You should also check the CPU Socket Pins/Springs if they are correct in Place....

best regards ré

Hi,

Can you try the following?

Clear NVRAM from the System Board level, Switch 6.

If the server has two processors, try with a single processor.
Remove any PCI cards if installed.
Disconnect any external connections like Storage, USB devices, etc. keeping only the power and monitor connected.

Thank You!
