Did you try booting the server with original configuration without additional hard drive and memory? You can also try installing only one DIMM per CPU and see whether system is booting up.

Hi, thanks for choosing Dell. I'd give you the similar approaches to Shine's troubleshooting. Let us know how it goes.

Hello Dell -Young E

That approach didn't work.

Hello Dell -Shine K

That approach didn't work.

Hello maconga_tech,

I am sorry to see that didn't work.  At this point I recommend bringing it down to Minimum-to-POST components.

These are the minimum to post components:

*Risers

*CPU1 (minimum for troubleshooting)

*Heatsink for CPU1 for prevention of overheating

*1 DIMM for CPU1

*Power supply

*Control panel

*Motherboard

*Power distribution board

Remove anything not on that list: DVD, Hard drives, PERC controller, backplane, network card, NIC cable, any pcie cards, keyboard, mouse, USB devices, ….  anything not on the list remove.

If it does not post then the issue is with one of those components.

If you get successful POST, put things back a little at a time until you find the faulting component.
