HP Proliant BL20P motherboard replaced

[Christopher Brooks_1]

I have been sent a new motherboard for my blade, but when I go to put it back into place I am receiving a red LED light right below the UID LED. Anyone have an idea of what it could be?

Health status is Critical. I have taken all components out in sequence to isolate the fault. No difference.
The motherboard originally in was a D version, but the new one is a B version.
Don't know what else to do. Thanks.

Make sure you install and more all components from older system board to new one: Array Controller, NIC, Fiber, DC , filter
What your server generation and what you have at front Diagnostic or I/O Port for service ?

also update management module to 2.2 if needed on the enclosure

already upgrade the enclosure to 2.2. Still hasn't helped.

Hi Chris,

Put all complete parts into the new board. Slot in into the enclosure. With the "critical" LED still on. Press & hold the pwr button for abt 10 secs. It should be able boot up & thereafter, the critical LED will be OFF. Pwr & NIC LED should be Green then.

Cheers!!

already held down the power button for more than 10 seconds, but it still didn't boot. I tried that before I started this thread. Anymore ideas? thanks.

What Generation BL20p?
All fans connected?
If you have chase to swap from other, swap: DC-DC , filters, SA Controller, NIC
If you done with all swap, reset, of mentioned Components, you tried different Bay, different enclosure if you still have problem
Swap system board with HP

I have spoken with HP since placing this thread. Seems they sent me the wrong motherboard, so they are sending out a correct part. Thanks for all your help.
