Thanks!

The last version that would work for this server was version 5.50. You can order it by calling 1-800-573-1099.

try bringing down your server to the minimum hardware. I mean take out extra storage attached to it take out the RIB board if any and then try.

Hi
I was having the same problems with my proliant 5500. Plz try the following.

Connect the server directly with a KB Mouse and monitor.(Disconnect from KVM switch)

Keep the minimum amount of memory what you need for your software installation.

The memory in the banks should be in descending order from 1 to 4 and so on. I mean to say the maxmimum amount of memory in bank one and then going down...

Take out rib card or any other card installed in the server and then see.

It was the CD Rom drive
