ML-350 G6 - rebooting continuously

[MarianP]

This server is rebooting continuously before boot sequence. Can't even enter bios configuration. At some point, i removed hard drives and put it back .. the result was: the server started booting into windows, but got a blue screen. After that he keeps on rebooting.
Any ideas?

Does it always reboot at the same place in the POST? After CPU/Memory testing? After disk initialization?

Have you made sure that incoming power is oK? Like power cables? Maybe one of the PSUs are broken?

Usually for this it's a good idea to get the server down to minimal configuration (as few CPUs, DIMMs, no disks/controller, DVD-reader, extra PCI cards, etc) - just enough for it to boot.

ANd see if it boots then. If it does, start adding and maybe eventually you can find it. Or maybe something was not seated properly..

Hi
Have you checked the Integrated Management Log (IML) from the iLO, for clues?
This can be done with the server powered down but still connected to mains.

I will try your ideas and i'll be back with a reply as soon as possible.
Thanks
