After swapping the system board, this server partially boots up. There are two main problems. It has problems with one of the Processors. When I swap the two processors around. The system powers up, but does not post or get to video stage and strangely the CD-Rom starts making a funny noise and starts flashing orange. When I try to power on the system with only one processor I get DIMM memory errors, that I do not normally get when both processors are plugged in. I have also tried changing the DIMM memory sticks with the same result.
The second problem seems to be that the server is not detecting the SCSI drives, but seems to detect the controller. When I plug one of the SCSI drives, its lights come on then go off.
After posting the server asks me to press F1 to continue or f10 for system partition utilities. When I press F10 it reports, "Non-System disk or disk error replace and strike any key when ready. There are no tapes floppies or cd-roms inside. When I try to use an operating system installation disk it does not detect any of the scsi disk drives. Thanks in advance for any help on this.
The post the system makes is below.

SolutionLooks like a fan is unplugged.
Array - check to see of there is a SCSI cable running from the drive cage to the array controller. The drives will flash any time power is applied to them - so that is an indication there is power but not SCSI (data) cable.
This will get you a bit closer and we can tackle the other issues once we get these cleared up.

Re: Proliant 3000 Server CPU and SCSI issues
I replaced the slot 1 CPU with the slot 2 one. I still got the same DIMM memory error.
One of the fans was connected to a redundant fan header. I am not getting the fan not connected error message anymore.

Re: Proliant 3000 Server CPU and SCSI issues
When I try the CPU that I think is faulty, it does not even get to that stage. The system fans and lights go on, but the system does not boot and cd-rom orange light flickers.

You can find all the documentation at:

You will need a Compaq SmartStart Cd to negotiate the pci raid card. It will also set up your hardware and software install.
Good Luck.
