Proliant DL360 POST issue

[Joshua Lance]

I have a DL360 G2 that has been out of commission for a while. It now takes over 10 minutes to display any video when powering on.

Thank you very much. I have read through the discussion. It all looks as though it might apply. I will see how it goes.

Well, the problem has gotten worse. The displayed video only once while going through he smart start setup. After canceling the setup and shutting down I have not been able to boot the server. The server powers up, the fans run at full speed and no video. There lights on the keyboard don't even com on when pressing number lock. Any ideas?

Hi,

Clear the NVRAM. Then If possible reflash the BIOS of the server. this will do.

If all else fails, consider that the system/mother board might be failing. I saw a similar behavour on a DL and fixed it by replacing the system board. In my case, there were no warning lights inside the box, just didn't complete bootup. Good luck, Jenny

Thank you all. I was hoping it would not be the system board but it is.
