R630 can't boot (sec 0033)

Hello,

I have a R630 that refuses to start up with the message sec 0033 Intrusion detected check chasis cover appearing (once).
The startup attempt lasts 10sec, then the server shuts down and tries, in a loop, to start up.

LCD in front doesn't start most of the time eather and when it's showing something, it's just the name.

So far I've done the following:
- changed the chasis cover: without success
- Changed the PCI card where the contactor is located: without success.

- Changed both PSU : without success.

I'm left with a black screen, no loading and a looping reboot, so there's no way of reaching the BIOS or IDRAC.

Is it possible that it could be one or both processors?
Can the RAM fail too?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide :)

Melvira,

I would start with taking the R630 to its minimum to post configuration, which is removing everything from the server internally and externally but the following

One processor (CPU) in socket processor 1
● One memory module (DIMM) in socket A1
● One power supply unit
● Left control panel with cable (for power button functionality)
● System board

Try powering up and see if the server posts correctly, if it does then individually add te removed devices back until the issue reappears, identifying the problem device, or until everything is reinstalled.

Now if you can't post under that configuration then the culprit is likely one of the devices listed above, where my thoughts would be motherboard.

Let me know what you seem and if this helps.

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your reply, I wasn't sure if sec 0033 could appear with other components at fault.
I'll try this and post the results to help the community (you never know).

Regards
