DL380 G6 No Video on Power On
Hi - I got my DL380 G6 server today, I plugged in the two power suppy cable, plugged in VGA cable to my monitor which has DVI and VGA.
I plugged in keyboard/mouse both USB.
I booted, the power light is green along with the one on top of it, hear the fans roar, but no video.
Once I power on the PROC1 and PROC2 light turns orange in like 3 seconds.
I tried another VGA cable no video. The monitor works fine because I've used the DVI port on it, I can't tell what the problem is.
I removed all RAM and just used two sticks, one for each processor, still same problem.
I don't hear any beeping sounds or such.
I removed the cache card as well but still same problem.
Any thoughts? Would greatly appreciate the help.

Re: DL380 G6 No Video on Power On
I am going to post the solution that worked for me
If you have physical access to the server, you can try this sequence:
- Remove the power supply units and swap them.
Test to see if the system will boot...
If that doesn't work:
- Remove all power supplies from the chassis
- Locate the System Maintenance Switch on the motherboard - It's a set of 10 DIP switches.
- Turn switch #6 switch on.
- Insert all power supply units.
- Power on the server and allow it to idle for 3 minutes.
- Power the server off.
- Remove all power supplies.
- Return DIP switch #6 to off (original) position.
- Reinsert the power supplies.
- Power the server on.
Test to see if the system will boot...
If that doesn't work:
- Remove all power supplies from the chassis
- Turn DIP switches #1, 5 and 6 switch on.
- Insert all power supply units.
- Power on the server and allow it to idle for 3 minutes.
- Power the server off.
- Remove all power supplies.
- Return DIP switches #1, 5 and 6 to off (original) position.
- Reinsert the power supplies.
- Power the server on.
Test to see if the system will boot...

Re: DL380 G6 No Video on Power On
we had the same problem on a DL380G7 ( both proc led light amber ). We tried the steps like suggested (dip switch etc.), no success.
In our case the 3v lithium battery was defect, ~ 1,7 V. Try pulling out the battery, start the server with
no battery, go into CMOS. We did this 2 times, then put in new battery, everything was working fine.
You can't find this in any HP documentation.
Have a nice day
