BL460c G6 won't boot, flashing red health LED

Hi all,

I would be very grateful for some pointers here.

I have a BL460c g6 blade in a c3000 enclosure, populated with 2 processors and 6 RAM sticks. All appears normal until I attempt to power it on, the health LED initially lights up green but then starts flashing red, and there is no video output. According to the iLO, the system health is "OK" - so it is either in denial or confused. All the fans in the enclosure remain at maximum speed until the blade is physically pulled from its bay. After forcibly powering off the blade using the power button, the OA still shows it as On.

In case it is relevant, neither the iLO or the OA can display the ROM version or a UUID. Other blades in the enclosure work fine, and changing the bay as well as reseating the processors and memory does not change the situation. How do I find out which component has failed?

Many thanks in advance!

Edit: iLO version is 2.33 and OA version is 4.71

Hi there,

Did you check IML logs what are they saying ?

Hi Slav,

Thanks for your response, the IML shows nothing since the last firmware upgrade of the iLO, which I did in an attempt to diagnose the issue.
