How to fix HP ProLiant DL785 Server that does not boot operating system?
If your HP Server fails to boot a previously installed operating system, the problem could be a corrupted operating system or a hard drive subsystem issue; in such cases, consult the HP ProLiant Servers Troubleshooting Guide. Another potential cause is an incorrect boot order setting in RBSU. To resolve this, verify and adjust the boot order in RBSU.
Why my HP ProLiant DL785 does not power on?
If your HP Server doesn't power on, several factors could be at play. First, ensure all power cords are securely connected. An improperly seated component or interlock problem may also prevent power-on, so ensure each device is properly seated. If problems persist, try removing and reinstalling each device, as a faulty internal component could be the cause. For power source or power on circuit problems, it's best to refer servicing to qualified personnel or consult the HP ProLiant Servers Troubleshooting Guide.
What to do if HP ProLiant DL785 boots, but a fault event is reported?
If your HP Server boots but reports a fault event via Insight Management Agents, start by checking the connections for all internal and external components. It could be due to an improperly seated or faulty component. Also, verify that all installed components are supported by the server. A redundancy failure could also trigger this event, so review your redundancy configurations. Finally, ensure proper ventilation and cooling to avoid system overtemperature conditions.
What to do if HP ProLiant DL785 Server does not complete POST?
If your HP Server does not complete POST, the issue might stem from an improperly seated or faulty internal component. Begin by removing and checking all data and power cables for any signs of damage. Also, a faulty KVM or video device could be preventing the server from completing POST. Check these devices to ensure they are functioning correctly.
