Dear FMCASADO1

Please download the EXE files from HPE Support Web site. extract the EXE file on a folder, here you can get the BIN file. 

BIOS(P72) firmware : https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/softwaredetails?collectionId=MTX-d5e2a3f92a604e3c&tab=releaseNotes

iLO4 firmware : https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/softwaredetails?language=en_US&collectionId=MTX-2137f29484a3411e&tab=releaseNotes

Hi, it was upgraded to latest BIOS. I had the latest iLo4 firmware. Thanks for your prompt response!
Unfortunately, I think the board is bricked. It keeps giving me the “maintenance switch is on” in the 2nd post screen. No way to remove that, I have literally done everything possible. NVRAM, CMOS, iLo4 Reset, switched flipped to on, removed everything, all PCIe cards, RAM DIMMs, GPU cards, even one of the processors, etc. I spent the whole day yesterday working on it. Not good for a Sunday! Lol

If you guys have any other idea, let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Dear  FMCASADO1

 for the massage “maintenance switch is on” is given due to there is a DIP/Maintanance switche on system board have 10 nos flipped swith panel on it. Please shut down the server- remove all cables from it- open chasis door- set maintenance switch to OFF position for All switches. 

Please find the switch with help of chasis door= Open server cover= turned to you= there is a daigrame sticked in to it= find "X" marked component on it. check the actual position on system board as daigrame mentioned.

Secondly check with HPE ML 350p Gen 8 Maintanance guide. = check the page no 79 & 80 for details.

Hope, I could provide you with clear and helpful instructions. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, don't hesitate to ask. I'm here to help!

Have a great day!

@rabindra11sharm Hi, good morning!

I have done that like 20 times with no luck. My last resort is removing everything from the server including the CPUs, RAM, CMOS battery, everything! Leave it overnight and plug it back in with a CPU and one DIMM. If that doesn't work, I will get another Board.

Thanks!
