Hello.

Let us try and bring the system to minimum to POST with the following components:

  • System board
  • Risers
  • Processor (CPU1) with Heatsink
  • Power Supply
  • One stick of memory in dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot A1
  • Control Panel with cable

Ensure that the mouse, keyboard and other USB devices are disconnected.

Remove other things on the server and keep the following:

  • System board
  • Risers
  • Processor (CPU1) with Heatsink
  • Power Supply
  • One stick of memory in dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot A1
  • Control Panel with cable

Remember to also remove the mouse, keyboard and other USB devices that are connected to the server and then boot the server. 

Let me know of any progress.
