Hello, Please try below troubleshooting steps.
to power drain
Shut down server.
Remove power cable (all power cables if there are redundant power supplies)
Hold the power button in for 15 seconds.
Reconnect the power cables.
Wait 2 mins(this is to give the iDRAC time to initialize)
Restart the server.

If you have iDRAC port card please reseat and check again https://dell.to/3Lqc5Jm
If you don't have iDRAC port card then to take the server to minimum post configuration
The minimum components to allow the PowerEdge R420 to complete POST are:
If the above troubleshooting steps don't help I would suspect a hardware error. It could be iDRAC port card or motherboard. If you need iDRAC port card part number is 2827M
Hope that helps!
