server not booting into bios

[Dark_Force]

Good day,

Model: HP ProLiant ML350e gen8 server

Operating System: Windows 2008 R2

Last activity: Updated the BIOS firmware online using an installer package from HPE

Present condition: Server starts up as usual, Both power and health LED green, But after some time the health Led Blinks red.

I tried resetting BIOS settings using system maintenance switch. the same.
Then I set the system maintenance switch to access redundant BIOS. It's still the same
Then I set all the system maintenance switch to default. still the same!!

Please give me a solution

Thank You

Is very easy Folow this instructiion

Installation:. Obtain a formatted USB Key media.

2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on a system running Microsoft Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Server 2008, or Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and change to that directory.

3. From that drive and directory, run the downloaded SoftPaq file: Simply double click on the SPxxxxx.exe file and follow the installation wizard to complete the SoftPaq installation process. At the end of a successful installation of the SoftPaq a web page will automatically appear to provide you with the different methods for restoring and/or upgrading the firmware on the system.

4. After the USB Key is created, you may delete the downloaded file if you wish.

5. Insert this USB Key into the USB Key port of the system to be updated and power the system on to boot to the USB Key.
