Do you get video or any POST error messages?

I suspect that you are having a faulty system board.

I'd also point to the system board or the VRM.

thanks very much for your urgent reply.i appreciate it very much,but the system does not boot at all.nothing appears on the screen

Try Starting the server with single processor also make sure that PPM is installed properly or you can try swaping it as well. Do You get any beeps, the PROLIANT logo or anything at all.

at all.no post ,No beeping nothing at all .i mean a blank screen is all i get .Both memory and processor are working. They were swaped on a different server and they were working .I have ensured that there is no loose connection anywhere.Only one processor is being use but both processor lights on the board are showing amber .Two amber/red light are showing on the front panel.I want to know the meaning of the two lightson the front panel.

Hi Malaika

Reduce the server hardware configuration to minimum e.g. one processor, one power supply, no interface cards etc and check if there is display or else system board is suspected defective. Place a call with local HP support provider

What You describe definitely comes down to system board or VRMs:
You get no info or beeping because the initial POST tests either fail or don't get started.
This usually happens if the CPU or some other core component can't work.

As You've already swapped most crucial components, there is not much left to fix, but rather something to replace.

The only other thing to generate such a complete boot failure is a IDE cable plugged in the wrong way round.

- remove all pci adapters and disk/floppy/cdrom cables.

if the problem persists, You should try to change VRM if it's socketed, and if that doesn't work, call in a tech or order a replacement system board.
