Hi,

I've a ML350 G5 that won't boot. The internal health LED is red, and the LED near CPU#1 is amber. I tried all the suggestions I read ( remove the ram modules, the bios batt, moving dip switch 6, etc.) here but nothing happens.

I also tried to connect to the IOL2 without success.

Can anyone help me ?  Thanks in advance!

I have  an ML370 G5 server.It was working fine, but the mistake i made was removing the Harddisk while still in use.I also couldnt remember which order they were arranged in.

Now,when i boot the server doesnt display on the monitor and the RED LED is on.

Please advise me on what to do, coz i wouldn't want to lose such a server.

Thanks

Even without disks it should reach the BIOS and boot selection at least. Check IML and ILO for problems.

thanks

i check  ....Check IML and ILO for problems....what do u mean?

How do i check the above?

ILO should still work, connect to ILO and check the system status and logs.

I´ve a ML350 with 2 x Xeon 5060. I´ve changed the mainboard(new Mainboard part nr. 439399-001)  due to incompatibility of supporting Xeon L5420. After changing and checking of all connections, I started the server. HDD were checked all fan´s are spinning up but no graphical output. All fan´s remains on top speed and nothing else happens.

I did the following (suggested earlier)             

---

get system off power,

get battery out of systemboard, pull all the memory and put 1 back,

look on the inside of the lid, on the drawing there is a system maintenance switch, switch number 6 on,put battery back,power back on and see what happens after a couple of minutes on the screen

But nothing changed. All LED´s are green no error reported by the mainboard. Can anybody help?
