Dell Poweredge 840
Hello,
I have had a poweredge server for several years now running a small business. The server has never had any issues until the ram DIMMS were taken out and tried with an upgrade set. Once the new set was in the system does not power on or post AT ALL.
The pre fan in the power supply is constantly on as usual running at low rpm, and the status light on the front flashes amber. I have not been able to find anything in the manual either.
The only thing that changed was trying to upgrade/install different new ram, when the computer wouldn't turn on then, we re installed the old memory, but again if everything is plugged in it just flashes amber orange on the front. Pushing the power button countless times, it does nothing. Any suggestions? All the hardware is good, and the computer was just running...Raid is setup and all with a dual core on 1 gig of ram(4x lots 512mb)

Hello
The system is not completing POST. Since this occurred during an upgrade then something was likely knocked loose or damaged during the hardware change. Reseat cables/components and take the system to minimum to POST to try to determine the faulty component.
Thanks
