HP Proliant ML150 G6 wont show any video output / won´t boot at all

I recently bought a HP Proliant ML150 G6 Mainboard with the following specs (specified later). The problem is that the mainboard won´t boot and doesn´t output video.

I connected the 24pin power connector, the 8pin cpu connector and one pci-e power connector on the 4pin connector under the ram (i only used 4 of the 6pins available on the pci-e cable). 

CPU is placed in socket 1 (only one cpu on mobo)

RAM is also installed in RAM banks for cpu 1.

I connected the cpu fan and the system fan too.

Also the VGA cable is connected directly on the mobo port.

When i now turn on the psu the mainboard lights up blue first, then the blue light turns off and LED1 starts flashing green.

The board isn´t doing anything exept the flashing light.

What does the flashing green LED1 mean?

How do i fix it?

Hardware Specs:

  • Hp Proliant ML150 G6 Mainboard
  • 24GB DDR3 RAM (4GB Config)
  • 1x Xeon E5520 CPU
  • 1x BeQuiet 700w PSU

Hi

I can't find referece to LED1 in the maintanance guide - https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=c01706108

@StorageMike
Thanks for your reply. The LED is located above the UID LED / Button. On the mainboard itself is a text with description "LED1".
#Update to mainboard
now if i power on the psu the mainboard fans start spinning for a sec. After that same error.

Please refer HP ProLiant ML150 G6 Server Maintenance and Service Guide (Page number 97)  for  System Board Indicators and let us know which indicator is on.

Thanks to all who replied. I fixed it by building a DIY molex to 4pin CPU power adapter. After i connected it to the additional CPU power port (instead of the VGA Power connector) it now works.
