If you can't get beeps and nothing is on a screen connected to the SUVI cable or through remote console on iLO, check the iLO's copy of the Integrated Management Log for clues to what's wrong in the hardware.

Re: BL45p a lemon now !!
Exactly as David says, this can be done;
Accessing the redundant ROM
If the system ROM is corrupted, you can set the system to use the backup version
or redundant ROM.
To use the redundant ROM:
1. Power down the server blade and disconnect the server blade from all power
sources.
2. Remove the access panel (primary & secondary)
3. Change positions 1, 5, and 6 of SW1 to on.
4. Install the access panel (primary & secondary)
5. Connect the server blade to system power and power up the server blade.
6. Repeat steps 1 through 3.
7. Change positions 1, 5, and 6 of SW1 to off.
8. Repeat steps 5 through 7.
If both the current and backup versions of the ROM are corrupt, you must return
the system board for a service replacement.
Regards,
James.

Re: BL45p a lemon now !!
To clear the system configuration:
1. Power down the server blade and disconnect the server blade from all power
sources.
2. Remove the access panel
3. Change position 6 of SW1 to on.
4. Install the access panel.
5. Connect the server blade to system power and power up the server blade.
6. Wait for the POST message that prompts you to change the switch setting:
Maintenance switch detected in the "On" position.
Power off the server and turn switch to the "Off"
position.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 3.
8. Change position 6 of SW1 to off.
9. Repeat steps 5 through 7.
IMPORTANT: When the server blade boots after NVRAM is cleared, a delay of up to 2 minutes is normal. During this delay, the system
appears non-functional. Do not attempt any procedures during the delay.
Regards,
James.
