Jon:

Pull the CPU Cage from the server and remove, check the slot and then replace the CPU's, PPM's and RAM. Make sure you seat each item fully.

let me know?

I have pulled and reseated everything in the CPU cage and the i/o cage and all the cabling. Still same results.

Jon:

Try removing Processor #2 and its PPM. Also pull all the DIMM's except Socket 1. Does it boot at all? Differences?

I hate to think the processor cage it at fault here.

John:

I pulled the processor cage and replaced the fan with one from another Compaq server.

The system started to boot, gave me a 1611-Fan Failure message and then finished booting.

Everything appears to be running, but I'm afraid to reboot it to see if the error message is still sent. I have changed our data backup procedures to hopefully reduce any loss in the event it is still a problem.

Thank you very much for all your help and advice.

Wow! The fan was keeping it from powering up? Not seen one do that before. Thank you for the feedback!

Here is the Spare Part you need to replace it:
