Hello,

You may restore all configuration settings to their manufacturing defaults.

You may refer to item 22 of the server's system board component diagram.

You may refer to "System maintenance switch descriptions" for performing this procedure.

Please refer to note 2 on this page.

For performing this procedure, power off the server, remove the power cable from the power supplies, remove the access panel and then set the system maintenance switch position 6 is set to the On position and then replace the access panel, connect the power cable and then power on the server.

Once a message indicates that a system maintenance switch is in on position and needs to be reversed, then power off the server, remove the power cable from the power supplies and then reverse the system maintenance switch's position.

Regards,

- This seems like a hardware issue. We need to review the operating system and AHS logs to provide a solution.
- Kindly raise a support ticket with HPE for further analysis.
