[Samitzi]

Hi Guys,

I recently bought for my company a refurbished HP DL380p GEN 8 .

When it came, it was working perfectly.

But ilo4 version was 1.22

Bios was from 2013

So i updated with the lastest firmware.

Since then i have  an issue, kinda...because the server its working properly running esxi 6.5,.

Now the issue is that the Front Panel Light show error even if ILO shows everything is ok.

Try to run again the SPP, just make sure you're using the latest one for Gen8 servers.

Maybe reseat the Front panel cable and while at it, clean it with "contact cleaner"

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply.

i will try the ssp. but the page with the cables is for dl380e. Mine is dl380p gen8.

Are the same cables?

Thanks again.

My bad...here's the right one....eventhough you're not replacing it, you now know where it is located

@feigenL  do you know if i can power the server without this part?

I've never tried, but I think it should work. You may try to power it up from the iLO, either through CLI or a WEB session.
