  robert48Aug 27, 2025
  If the system power LED is amber on your HP Server, it might indicate that the server isn't getting power, the power supply isn't properly connected, the connector is damaged, or the power supply has failed. Ensure the power cord is connected securely to the power supply, the power supply is undamaged and fully seated, the system power and power supply signal cables are connected to the system board, the CD-ROM drive cables are connected, the power button/LED cable is connected, and all pins on connectors and components are straight.

  Jerry JordanAug 29, 2025
  If the internal health LED is red on your HP Server, it could mean a processor, PPM, power converter module, or primary fan has failed. It could also indicate that Processor 1 or PPM 1 isn't installed, a processor is an unsupported type, processors are mismatched, a DIMM has experienced a multibit error, there's no valid memory, populated banks have unsupported, mismatched, or missing DIMMs, the SCSI cabling or terminator configuration is incorrect, the PCI riser cage is unseated, or an overtemperature condition has occurred. Use amber failure LEDs to identify missing, failed, or improperly installed components, or an overtemperature event.

Why HP ProLiant DL380 does not power on?
- H
  Heather ColeSep 18, 2025
  If your HP Server doesn't power on, it might be due to several reasons. First, ensure that all power cords are securely connected. A loose or faulty power cord could also be the cause, so check that all cables are properly aligned and securely connected for both external and internal components. If the issue persists, it could be a power source problem, power on circuit problem, improperly seated component, interlock problem, or a faulty internal component. In such cases, remove and reinstall each device, carefully inspecting the connectors and sockets for any bent pins or damage.

To address this, check all internal and external components to ensure they are properly seated and in good condition. Also, verify that all installed components are supported by the server. Check for redundancy failures and check the system temperature to resolve overtemperature conditions.
