In the meanwhile: with patience and luck I got the machine running once which enabled me to install a new BIOS (1.12.0). But now after the update, the starting Screen isnt showing anything. There is just no signal for the Monitor?! Any thoughts?
Check the ServerEventLog for possible Errormessages (Idrac must be activated/configured)
Try the „Minimum to POST“-configuration:
Risers
CPU1 (minimum for troubleshooting)
Heatsink for CPU1 for prevention of overheating
1 DIMM for CPU1
Power supply
Control panel
Motherboard
Power distribution board
If the server starts again, then step by step rebuild the components into the server to find the issue-part. When it still won’t start, the problem is most likely located on the Motherboard. Try different Dimms and CPUs, if given.

Hi Dataformers,
Could you please try following steps:
