rp5430 - Server not coming up

[mannu1969]

PROBLEM:
rp5430 - Single proc 650Mhz server, when the power is switched on it starts a nd then in 2 seconds gets switched off, withthe power led green blinking and all other leds in off position.
can we install a 440Mhz proc on this machine ?? and test in case the proc gone bad.

hi,

no you cnnot, they are not compatible if you already have 650's in it.

it needs a different system board and power modules for the different cpus

can you access the logs in the GSP?

if so have a look at the system error logs and post the last 6-10 logs if you can.

you can also check teh status of the power supplies, cpu's and fans here too

I would say that you have got the wrong processor support module (PSM) installed in this server or the PSM is faulty. Check the GSP log and see if you get a low voltage DC power error if so change the PSM PN: A6799A

Hi,

You have failed power supply. Log a case with HP to get it replaced.

[Andrew Rutter]

hi,

it looks like a power issue, either psu or the power monitor PCA

check the psu's first, physically check the green led on them and the power cords attached.

the system needs 2 power supplies to run properly

Andy

[mannu1969]

Hi Ganesan
Thanks bud will try and change the power supply and try.

Hi Andy
What is PCA is this a card slotted beside the processor ??, If it is then the a heartbeat led is blinking amber !! No explanation found on web about this. 2 nos of PSU's are installed and both Led are green. tried to swap the slots and even then the led are green.

Thanks
Manoj

[Andrew Rutter]

hi,

yes the power monitor pca is the baord that sits upright from the system board with the led's heartbeat light on

if the heartbeats on then this may be ok?cannot remember for sure but seem to think the led's should be green when powered on. amber when oof but power going through the system.

It could be the main power input unit, like this thread if the PSU are all good

http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1240777207484+28353475&threadId=1111985

another thing i would also check is the large screws at the rear that connect the system board in onto the large gold connections. if these have a loose connection/bad connection you can prevent the system from powering on properly

Andy

[mannu1969]

Hi Any

Heartbeat led is Amber and blinking, but power Led is on and Green on the board.

Let me try and replace some parts and revert.
