I have a dell PowerEdge c6145 server. node #1 works fine in both of the slots. i can boot and get display, bios, os, etc.
i just got a second node #2 brand new. it wont boot, no VGA, no post, etc… both should be identical ram and CPU’s. there are 2 redundant 1100 watt PSU’s. i highly doubt its the motherboard.. each node has four socket G-34 AMD 6276 CPU’s
tried swapping power supplies. even re-seating chips and ram with no success.
any ideas? is there a jumper on the motherboard i’m missing? thanks in advance.
Answer
Apply BIOS reset. It should be jumper on the board for that, check the technical manual.
If also after that you do not even get VGA output anyway, I think, that’s the end. It may not boot for a number of reasons but BIOS setup screen normally comes up.
