HP RACK Server ML370 ILO internal health solid RED no boot

[Gregory Falowo_1]

Hello.
Just got a server out of the pack and added a second processor,
It powers on with a red light on the front panel, documentation says internal system health is critical, it has an amber light next to one of the processors, i have removed the processor and powered with the same results, it has 2 1GB DIMMS and have booted without them, still RED.

What might be the problem, unfortunately the server has been in storage for over three years, could that havve done anything to it, maybe weather

Is it G1?

Basic Things you could do:

1. Swap around the processors and try with each one of them at one time
2. Reseat memory, processor power module and other possible components.
3. Also try a BIOS defalts (CMOS reseat)
4. Just to confirm the second processor also has its PPM?

I found out what the problem was.. it is really sad.. I placed both processors and locked them as indicated on the diagram, but some pins were bent out of shape in the process and some broken.

Guess will have to buy new processors, are they sold without the PPMS

Yes, you can get them without PPMs.
