Guessing my MB died

[bigo93]

Well my microserver started having a red flashing health LED
4Hz, which claims to be a power fault.
Reseated all cables, removed drives and ram, still red LED.
Will not power up at all.

 

Integrated Management Log shows

Then for some reason the rest of the page is just spamming of POST Error: 1785-Slot X Drive Array Not Configured

 

I updated ilo to 2.78 after issue to see if that would reset anything, but no still flashing red LED 😢

 

So guess dead motherboard then?

It may be a bad system board.

Have you tried a different PSU?

It may also be a BIOS issue? Have you tried resetting the internal switches (can’t hurt if it’s given up the ghost)? I remember having an issue related to Intelligent Provisioning and all the onboard RAID and BIOS software (sorry I can’t remember what it’s all called, I’m not that technical lol). My issue was fixed by resetting both software and hardware and it stopped the red lights.

I have tried a PC PSU, still a red light.

Tried swapping to backup BIOS in iLO, not sure if it worked in swapping it, but still red light

I set switch 1,5,6 I think to reset the CMOS, still red light.
Or do I have to set all 12 switches to on?
