DL580 G7 won't POST and there are no error logs being created in iLO3
I got a DL580 G7 that won't POST. No video comes up when connected directly to a monitor. The fans just spool up, a few lights flash, fans spool down, and the process repeats 4x before returning to standby with a red system health LED. I've reduced the system to a single CPU, a single PSU, and a single memory bay with only slots 1A and 8A filled. I can still get in through iLO3, but there are no logs in IML concerning any of these POST failures. I didn't have the system when it was running and I got it this way, so the stuff in IML is just old logs from before.
On the system board there is a 2-character alphanumeric display that I can't find referenced anywhere in any documentation for the server and is in fact not even on the illustrations of the system board found across various manuals. (But I can visibly see it on replacement boards for sale). This switches between 80 and 00 (or perhaps it's 08 and 00 but I can't tell which way it's supposed to be read). I'm not sure if this means anything, but I can't find any more information about it.
I've tried resetting the NVRAM via the maintenance switch, and that didn't get me anywhere. I read people referencing port 85 codes, but I can't find the 8 mentioned leds, or the switch to go between port 84/85. I don't have any idea of what I'm supposed to be actually be looking for.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

With what you are describing, I doubt the system is actually getting to POST stage where anything can be logged.

That's what I was thinking too. I ordered a new System board and I'll see how it goes once that's in.

Was that able to fix the problem? I have a DL585 G7 with the same 00 and 08 flashing on the system board and can't find any documentation as to what that port 85 code is refferring to.
