Is this G1 or is it G5?

Normally there is a system maintenance switch on the systemboard. Locate it (normally there is a little manual on the servers dock) and move pin 6 to the other position.

How exactly are your dimms configured - they have to be installed in pairs, but for a good advice we need to know the generation.

it is G5 ,and the RAM is bought from HP
(HP 4GB FDB PC2-5300),i have no idea why cannot be startup ...even i unplugged ...

and let me ask

so you added new modules and server is not powering on or it has no video?

and I understand that even you remove the memories issue continued?

would you mind to specify a little more?

regards

there is not allow me to power up and no video signal..so i cannot identify what kind of problem occur.i just see the two LED both are red and blinking repeatedly indicate for internal and extenal in the front panel.is it related to the power redundant ?? and i checked all the RAM are seated properly ...

thanks you guys keep me post and much apprecite your help

hi

Don't you have another server like ml350 g5, ml370 g5, dl385 g2? all of them use the same power supply so if you have the chance to swap power supply what would be great to check if power supplies are dead.

I have not seen bad memory modules or bad memory configuration causing to a server not power up (well I mean you press power button servers stays up for sometime and power off)

check another power supply, remove one Proc in case you have both, remove PCI cards and minimum memory (just 2 maybe the 2 DIMM that server came)

If it ia dl 380 g5 server.Then ur power supply gone faulty.
Check revesion ver if it is 03m then 100 percent faulty.


Replace the power supply.
