That is a message that it can't locate a network connection to boot from.
(cable disconnected, probably)

If the server is supposed to start from an internal HDD, you need to reboot and watch carefully for other messages.

U can check that issue by replacing system board .

thanxs alot for reply,,,

Verify that the system finds the HDD by entering the BIOS.
([F10] for system BIOS if you're not using a RAID controller, or [F8] during loading of the RAID BIOS if you have a controller)

Note: if you have a RAID controller, it should give a message about 'logical drives' when loading the BIOS.
