Proliant 5000 Server

[Michael_546]

Recently, the server shutdown and will not startup. Upon startup, all indicator lights flash then nothing happens. Could someone lead me in the right direction for troubleshooting so I don't have to load up on parts.

Hi

The problems can be with various parts, check the videop controller if that is plugged in properly(it might load the mother board if it is on board then ignore this), check if the memory are seated properly if all these are good then the powersupply to the mother board needs to be re-seated if still problem persists you need to get the power supply or the motherboard tested on another server, if you are not getting any kind of beep these could be the reason.

If nothing of this works it is better to contact the vendor to come and have a look

Michael:

When you power on the server, do the fans spin up?
Do the drives spin up?
Do you hear any POST beep codes?

Have you made sure that the side pannels are firmly seated?

Let me know what you find? -john
