Query: HP Proliant ML350 G5 wont boot passed POST

[mprice501]

Hi Guys

I have 2 x HP Proliant ML350 G5 servers

1 is working perfectly

The other will only get to post showing the processor and doesn’t go any further, just sits there

all lights at the front are green, doesnt give off any beep codes

already tried the following:

system off power, battery out of systemboard, pull all the memory and put 1 back, system maintenance switch, switch number 6 on,put battery back,power back on but no change on the screen, doesnt register switch has been flipped, cant F9 into Bios, cant boot from CD, pulled all SATA HDDs out, still doesnt POST any further.

Any further ideas?
