c7000 dead help

ken2022 — Mon, 04 Oct 2021 01:34:33 GMT

sorry my english but i'm italian. i bought a used c7000 with 16 blades. when I turn on the power, the OA module remains off, no LEDs on. the front display is off, the power supplies are all functioning with a green LED. the fans are at full speed and blinking amber. the LEDs on the blades are amber. what is the problem ? the seller told me that everything was working but has been standing still for 5 years.

thanks in advance to those who can help me.

Please see this video once.

As per your query when you power on Onboard Administrator not respond. Can you reseat once OA.

First power on the server after take out OA and wait for few seconds after re insert this time you check any light appear or not?

no lights come on on the OA. it is as if it is damaged, the second problem is that the front display does not turn on, it could be related to the OA being broken. I want to buy a new OA, but I want to make sure that's the problem.

First should be run OA then front see.

Better if you have any spare add at all and check.

Without OA run can not do anything.

Any VCflex attached with Server?

I have no other information to add. Do you recommend me to buy a new OA module?

Relocate the OA to another left slot and check.

If not successful try to add spare, and check.

Most of the cases if OA faulty give you amber light but in your case no light.

Second option contact to seller once.
