DL580 G2 - can't boot from floppy
after 30 server restarts finally I've give up.
I have following server.
Type DL580 G2 rack mounted,
Internal raid: Smart Array 5i.
3 internal HDD joined into 1 logical volume.
BIOS P27 rev 05/15/2004
Problem is that this server can't boot from floppy, also it's not visible into setup (2000, XP) text mode (press F6 to load another SCSI drivers).
When I've install W2K from IDR startup CD (special release of Veritas SW) under started W2K floppy is working without any problem.
Also test utility from SmartStart CD (6.40) floppy test OK.
Looks like kind of SW problem but I don't know where to look for solution
Thanks in advance
Marcin

Re: DL580 G2 - can't boot from floppy
Reset O/S after Restart and Boot controller Order for array controller.
At System board - system Switch Box use Diskette boot override #4 (on)
If it fails with any bootable Floppy to read, try to reset connectors on it, otherwise HW might faulty.

Re: DL580 G2 - can't boot from floppy
I've done NVram reset, and next point.
Still can't boot from floppy
I hardly understand point about system board, does it mean you suggesting opening server chassis and trying checking some connectors?
Please clarify
Marcin

Re: DL580 G2 - can't boot from floppy
Next day. we've opened service request in local HP support. When they reacted it shown up that everything is OK. They said it could be discharged battery on main board because server was staying 6 month with no power.
Many thanks for help.
