HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 - Restart Issue

[Sam34]

Hi,

Restarted a HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 server and getting stuck now on the POST screen...

Checked hardware connection, server rebooted multiple time and still getting stuck on the same screen.

All LED are green and iLO diagnosis doesn't show any warning signs. there was once a failed storage disk message that disappeared when I rebooted the server...

Any help will be appriciated !

Hi,

Have you connected any external devices like Storage device/USB devices, if yes, then remove them and try POST.
You may also try removing any PCI Devices that are not required for POST.

Thank You!

The next step would be "System Security Initialization". What was recently changed on that system?

Same issue here Hangs right before System Security Initialization would have displayed.  The post code is 00A2 for which information is not available of that particular post code.
