hi Doom best to do this and find the issue

)for all DL/ML 100 series servers * Upgrade the firmware first then the drivers.



1)To find the firmwares & drivers
- Go to â Hp.comâ http://www.hp.com/#Product
- Click on â Software & Driver downloadsâ Note ITS Usually at bottom right of page

- Enter server name and generation into the "for product" search field, For
example "DL145 G2", and press the enter. (Note the space used before G2)
- Select OS




2) nOW The steps below can only be performed if the server is powering on. If not then please try with minimum hardware configuration clear nv ram this is the maintenance switch shown the cover of the server you take off.


)TO Perform the offline diagnostics test.

Download the tool:
HP Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition performs various in-depth system and component testing while the operating system is not running, and is available by booting the Diagnostics CD. This can be downloaded from the following link.
