DL380 - video card problem

[Ivakin Dmitry]

Hello all,

Yesterday I've tried to install operating system on new DL380. I've connected monitor to video output, but no signal. If I start server, monitor goes to normal mode for one second, and then back to standby mode. I've reset server by power, the problem still exists. I think, I haven't warranty support for that server, it's new but long time kept on the stock.
Then I've tried to use ILO to install OS. But my colleagues lost a label with ILO settings. So, I failed on this step also.
Could you give any suggestion about those problems? May be monitor has disabled by security reasons? If yes, how to enable it? How about ILO? I'll try to find useful instruction how to reset password, but I want to know, it will reset to old one (from factory) or I need to input the new one? But I really don't know how to do it without monitor.

Any suggestions are welcome!

DL380 G1? G2 or G3
Ilo or RILOE

is your System DL380 G2 ?

I've noticed that some DL (even G4's)servers need to run 1-5mins after initial startup, if they've been unused/in storage for some time. Fans will run at high speed and nothing comes to a screen, but after a while everything is ok.

My server is HP DL380 G3. I can connect to ILO through network, but label with password has been lost.

Thanks a lot! I'll try this way.

Any suggestions about video card? Sure, I wait about 5 minutes after turn-on, did power reset. No helpful.

Thanks in advance!
