T310 amber light with green light at 4,no display/boot up, have tried removed all usb connection/hdd, ram taken out/swap to each other but same situation. Any clue/suggestion?
The error is an indication of a BIOS checksum failure detected; system is in recovery mode. Would you confirm if anything was added or done to the server prior to this issue appearing?
I would also take the server to a minimum to post configuration, removing everything from the server but the following;
CPU System board Heatsink for CPU for prevention of over-heating PSU (and for redundant PSU also the PDB) Front panel (to power system on) One memory DIMM
Also I would consider testing the cmos battery by swapping with a known good.
After that then verify BIOS settings if the video reappears, also please confirm the current BIOS version as well.
Let me know what you see.
