DL380p Gen8 - Orange power but and fast flashing red light, doesnt boot

[hunter86_bg]

In one similar error it was advised to remove the BIOS battery and short the 2 pins.
As per the output the iLO lost it's time, so most probably the battery died.

The following is a cheap fix (if indeed the battery is the problem): fully unplug the server PSUs (drain any leftover power by pressing the Power button) and replace the battery.

I used regular desktop battery (CR2032) for my ML350p Gen8 , so it should work on your server.

I hope someone can decode the error to reveal the details.

Hi again,
Well, i removed the bios battery as you told and left the server off all night from power supply, just whent and tried it and it does the same.
I also tried switching the button 6 to clear NVRAM but no luck.

Running out os ideas..... 
Lets hope someone can read the Active Health Log.
Thank you.

Hello Everest89

I am afraid that your motherboard simply died. Symptoms are showing that.

Hi Jan,
Thank you for your answer besides beeing a bad one.
Really is the motherboard?
Do you know where i could get a new one or by the difference by a newer generation?

Best regards.

One more thing, if i buy a new motherboard is it safe to use the same components i already have?

[hunter86_bg]

'New' Motherboard -> ebay
It might be cheaper to buy a whole server.

About the components - it should be OK to reuse them, but there is no guarantee that they are still OK. (For example bad voltage control could damage a lot of stuff).

[Everest89]

What would you recommend?
New motherboard or for a difference of money get a new one or new generation?

@crystalyin4 

It appears like sas backplane power fault.

Please remove SAS Backplane from the server and then try to power on (without sas backplane.. or makesure you disconnect sas cable and backplane Power cables completely) the server and see if its power on.
