My Netserver is getting errors similar to other models, I have tried the flashing the bios but it didnt help. Any suggestions.

0080-51 Management console self test failure
0090-64 DIMM management failure
when I try to flash I get: sdredit.exe failed

Followed Ben's instructions from 2001.
first attempt I recieved an error :
IPMI failure code 0x7B
So I reversed the order first sdredit then flashmmc.
Problem solved.

What model of Netserver is it? Each model has a different procedure for resolving this issue.

Sorry, I didn't look at the title of the post.

Here are the instructions for resolving this issue:

1. Power down the server and disconnect any power.
2. Hold in power switch for 10 seconds to drain any "flea power"
3. Reconnect the power and boot to a bootable DOS diskette.
4. From the A: prompt, switch to the BIOS update diskette.
5. Execute the following command from the A: prompt: flashmmc lprra_us.bin
6. When the A: prompt returns, execute the following command: sdredit -w -f list_lpr.sdr
7. When completed, restart the server with the BIOS diskette in the drive and complete a full BIOS flash by pressing "1" at the prompt
8. When the update is complete and the server reboots, press to enter the CMOS and switch to the "EXIT" menu.
9. Choose the option to "Clear System Configuration and Exit Setup" and confirm
10. When the server restarts, press to enter setup and use the key to load setup defaults and to save and exit.

This procedure will resolve this issue about 95% of the time. If you see the IPMI failure mentioned above, it is the front panel controller that is giving you a problem. Otherwise, if you are still getting this error, you will need to replace your I/O Riser Board: D6129-69000
HP Offers a core replacement on this part if you order through them at http://www.hp.com/buy/parts which means when you return the deficient part, they will reimburse the core charge for it.

Hope this was helpful,
