DL 585 G2 4CPU system - No video / POST

The system has the correct RAM configuration pulled from a working environment. There are not warning lights to indicate a problem when server is booted up. We simply have no video output to monitor. We tried both video ports front and rear.

I have checked the NVRAM switch 6 and followed instructions to clear NVRAM. This did not fix video issue.

The keyboard (PS/2) blinks lights once during POST and the DVD drives attempts boot it appears from lights on drive.

The SmartArray 400 card and 3 SAS drives do not show any lights or indications of being active in what should be initial boot phase.

Reduce ram to minimal config. If it POSTS with video, upgrade firmware and add ram back in one bank at a time. Verify each bank has identical modules. Did you verify they are the proper RAM for the 585 G2?

I am using the RAM that came with the system and it is certified HP RAM of the correct speed and specs.
