Cannot Get RX5670 to boot

Hello,

I recently got a used RX5670 and I am unable to get it to boot. I am not near the machine right now but I was able to get into the MP and was able to see that the BMC has a Type-02 error with Alert code: 5 and an error code that starts with 2715 (don't remember the rest). If I get the entire entry from the MP and post it here would someone be willing to decode it?

Oh! And by boot I mean that I hear the fans spin up for a split second and then powers off. The fan leds on the back are amber when this occurs. I am never able to get the system to pass control over to EFI or anything. The power light on the front is blinking green which means that the system is off.

Thank you in advance

Try to power on from MP prompt using PC and go to console log menu and see whether you can find anything out from log. Looks like its a hardware error and need HPCE to look into it.

Hi,

The Fan LED is amber - points to usually Heating-related as what I gather..
Am not sure of the BMC error.
Do get back to Us with the MP Logs!

Let see if something can be done b4 HPRC..

Hope for the best,

I really appreciate the timely response. Hopefully there is something simple I'm doing wrong.

Oh and the above log is the result of me calling PC -on from the MP.

Re: Cannot Get RX5670 to boot

seems to be a critical level of event (level 5) and it's a problem with the power converter for 12 Volts, looks like you have a h/w issue in this server.

Re: Cannot Get RX5670 to boot

Thank you, I had done some research over the weekend looking at led's on the baseboard and the lights for the 12V rails were out. I was sure if it was the baseboard or the power converter. Really appreciate this guys. I will get a replacement shortly.

Re: Cannot Get RX5670 to boot

12 volt rails in the Power Converter are not working and as such the entire module must be replaced. A very easy solution to this problem.
