A search on Google and here doesn't turn up anything we can point to, unless the firmware on the new system board somehow don't support our current processors. Using MP:CM > DF, we identified the current processors as follows:

Some searching led us to this page in the HP User Service Guide for the rp4440:
http://docs.hp.com/en/A9950-96011/ch05s02.html
This indicated that it might be one of the processors. So we removed CPU1, and its associated voltage regulator, leaving us with just CPU0. We now end up with the following events in the System Events log:

-> This is the last entry in the selected log.
Now we're truly stumped at this point, because as far as we can tell, there is no reason for the system to refuse to POST from this point, as there are no events other than Informational level events, and the front panel System LED is flashing green. The console via MP> CO doesn't show anything, nor does the monitor display anything. What are we missing?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: rx2620 POST Failure
The SFW 02.21 version goes into rx2600. The SFW/BMC versions are qualified to work with MP firmware revision E.02.23. Refer the link
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=447335&swItem=ns-13729-2&prodNameId=88839&swEnvOID=54&swLang=13&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=0
Since it seems that the system is rx2600, the current CPUs ( 1.6GHz/3MB ) are not supported with it.

Re: rx2620 POST Failure
hp Integrity
rx2620
The model number on the card is listed as AB332A.
This led me to wonder if HP sent us an rx2600 system board, so I poked around in MP:CM > DF to find:
FRU Entry # 11 :
FRU NAME: Motherboard ID:00
CHASSIS INFO:
Type:Rack Mount Chassis
BOARD INFO:
Mfg Date/Time : 0
Manufacturer : hp
Product Name : workstation zx6000 system board
S/N : TH9825E00G
Part Number : A7231-66510
Fru File ID : 11
Custom Info : D
Custom Info : 4721
Custom Info : D
Custom Info : 1701
PRODUCT INFO:
Manufacturer : hp
Product Name : workstation zx6000
FRU File ID : 11
Custom Info : 101
This might not look good, but this page explains how the zx6000 workstation in a rack configuration is an rx2600 series system:
http://www.openpa.net/systems/hp_rx2600_rx2620.html
Unless an rx2620 should return an FRU Product Name of something similar, we have the correct system board. However, if it should return something like "server rx2620 system board", then I need to get a system board swapped out with a correct system board.

SolutionYou got a wrong system board. A7231-66510 which can only be used on zx2000,zx6000 and rx2600 systems and not on rx2620.
Replace the system board with supported one as listed at http://partsurfer.hp.com/cgi-bin/spi/main?sel_flg=partlist&model=RX2620&HP_model=AB332A&modname=Integrity+rx2620-One+1.6GHz%2F3MB+200MHz+FSB+%28AB332A%29&template=main&plist_sval=ALL&plist_styp=flag&dealer_id=&callingsite=&strsrch=&keysel=%3F&catsel=%3F
The Product name should be "server rx2620" with Part/Model should "AB332A"

Problem is the system did not copy the direct values to the new board.
Hope this helps!

Re: rx2620 POST Failure
http://64.223.189.234/node/9
seem to indicate that while the physical form factor between the zx6000 and rx2620 are the same, the system board is completely different. That referenced page says the zx2 chipset is on the rx2620, while the zx1 chipset is used on the zx6000. I found another page that says the rx2620 uses PCI-X, while the zx6000 uses the old PCI standard.
The CE we are working with doesn't even know about the switch or copying values around, is researching that, and will get back to us as soon as he finds the procedure. I know if the ILO board is replaced there is some values to configure, but I haven't been able to locate any instructions that describe a system board-level configuration of values.
Hopefully, this is just a case of HP manufacturing exactly the same system board for a variety of models, and some changes on the board and some EEPROM-type memory configure the system board to behave as a specific model. I'll keep this thread updated on what I find out and what it took to finally replace the system board on our rx2620.

Re: rx2620 POST Failure
It turns out that our replacement board was DOA, and that was why we had so much trouble with it. Our HP engineer sent for a replacement of the replacement, came back the next day, installed and configured it, and we were up and running.
Lesson for rx2620 owners: if you have to replace the system board, you can extract the old board to save your HP engineer some time (because it does take about an hour or so if you have never done it before), but when the new board arrives you must call in an HP engineer who has the magic CD that performs the configuration to set the board to the correct model system you own.
