I have an old DL380 G5 that I use for learning and testing purposes, but suddenly it won't boot past the Broadcom NetXtreme II Ethernet Boot Agent v2.8.5.
I then tried transfering CPU's and RAM to an identical server - same problem.
I cannot access the RBSU even if I press F9, NIC's are integrated, so I don't really know what to do.
Both CPU's show up fine, all 40 GB of RAM are registered fine, I have a dead disk, but logical drives have been set for this - basically, everything runs fine up until the Broadcom Boot Agent.
Any suggestions?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: DL380 G5 won't boot past Broadcom NetXtreme II Ethernet Boot Agent
I might have located the issue. I've been trying to boot with a SanDisk 32GB FAT formatted USB drive in the internal USB-port. When removing this, the server boots.
Strangely, I have been using this USB drive in the server before, and I would like to use it for installing the OS giving me the most options for disk space.
Should I assume that something is wrong with the USB-drive and just get a new one?

Greetings!
Please check the boot order from BIOS.
Keep hard drives as the first boot device under Standard Boot Order.

SolutionI tried removing the USB-key from the motherboard, then it booted fine. I then used another USB-key, and it works perfectly - so the USB-key was the issue here.
But I appreciate your input, might help someone else in the future
