Check if the server fans are working. Reseat them if not swap them. If the issue persists, then reseat internal components. If the issue persists, then remove any PCIe expansion cards, remove all DIMMs except that installed in DIMM slot 3-A for each installed processor and check if it powers on.

The fans are hot-plug and have no direct cable connections. They are seated in a fan cage. If none of the fan are running, then reseat the fan cage, if not swap with working spares. If the issue persists, then swap a known working fan cage in this server and check if the issue is resolved. Likewise, swap this server’s fan cage in known working server to check if this cage is actually defective or it did not work in the first place due to insufficient power in the original server in question. If the latter is the case, remove all expansion cards, cable connections to expander card, if installed, have only one DIMM per installed processor and ensure that two 750W hot plug power supplies are installed and check if the fans function.
If the issue persists, and if it has been ascertained that the fan cage is working or has been replaced with working spare, then the issue could be with the system board.
