I recently bought a proliant 800 at an auction. Installed windows 2000 on it, then added a pci card (the card was known to be good) and the system stopped posting. The rear fans will spin for a second and then stop. If I pull out the cpu/ram tray the power supply fan will spin up, and the system will kick on. But if I put the tray back in it goes back to the same problem. Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: no post

What type of card is this and will the server post if the card is removed? Also what other PCI cards are installed?

Re: no post

I have exactly the same problem on 2 Proliant 800 servers.
The only thing that has been changed, is that i've removed the 4/8 gig DAT tapes drives.
All connectors and cables are connected properly. I've also tried to disconnect as many devices as possible, witch had no effect.
Please help.
Thanks.

Please clear NVRAM. After this has been done go back into the F10 and let it auto-configure but say NO to the backup SCI file.
