I have setup the bios to boot from a external dvd drive now everything boots up and detects But as soon as the drive starts to spin up and boot a red screen pops up With illegal op. So I unplugged the dvd drive and wrote a freenas img to a USB stick and tried to boot but the Same again . Any idea Link to post Share on other sites
schoondoggy 895 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I have not seen a red screen. Have you made any other changes to the system? I would try running Intelligent Provisioning to test the box. Then I would use it to try the install. As the box is new, I would open a case with HP. This may be it, turn off port sharing on the Ethernet; http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=5379860&spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay&spf_p.prp_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c03809102-1%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken Link to post Share on other sites

schoondoggy 895 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Make sure you are not using a USB 3 port. Have you turned off iLo port sharing?

jmwills 284 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 This sounds like a broken pin on a VGA cable. Link to post Share on other sites
1976dan 1 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 This has been fixed Thank u guys for all your help and support I fixed it by entering f10 at boot entering into the hp intelligent section And from there setup my array again and did a massive firmware update . So anyone who buys 1of these puppy's do your firmware update before anything else Link to post Share on other sites
