Proliant 1600 would not boot up..PLLLease help!

[apache_1]

will do and write back..

[apache_1]

i took all the ram sticks out (all but one) and reinserted the cage back into the machine.. cables look okay, i tucked them in just for the sake of doing it.. what do you mean by pci devices, you mean even mouse and keyboard..

[apache_1]

i am powering it on in the following condition
s6 back to normal, hard drives pulled out and mouse/keyboard pulled out, no cd or floppy..

PCI as in any peripheral cards installed in the I/O cage, such as a Network Interface Card or a SmartArray Controller.

Here is an example picture: (these items are likely not in your system, just examples)
