20 Most Recent Dell PowerEdge 6600 ( pe6600/115/d ) Server Questions & Answers

Beeping usually means that you have a defective memory stick which is shorting out your power supply.

If the "vga cable not working" then it is not "all componets connected correctly."

If you have multiple video connections (onboard from motherboard, usually vertical or stand alone video card, usually horizontal) that you plug into the stand alone card, as the onboard is normally disabled when the expansion is installed. Verify the cable and monitor both work and that the monitor is on the correct input. Finally try another video card, if you have one available. Even if the drivers are not correct, etc, you should still see a boot screen.

1-3-2 is "No memory installed."

Table 3-8 is the beep codes.

Here is a link to info from Dell about exactly how to do it.

A few things to keep in mind:

1. Your data should be safe but back it up first anyway.

2. Schedule this off hours if possible as you won't lose access to the data during the re-striping process but performance will be degraded and it will most likely take hours to complete.

In raid 5 yes you can, yet you won't use the ful hard drive, the system will take only 73GB because that's the smallest HD in your array.

Just, of course, follow the indications for your specific RAID hardware/software about how to add a new HD to it:

Computer not recognizing the hard drive. Look in BIOS to see if hard drive is listed. Reload system disc/CD.

It could be a couple of things 1. the computer Cpu fan is not working or is clogged inspect it and clean or replace.2 The power supply could be bad

Namrata_stha, The I912 error is referring to the System Event Log is full of events and because of this is unable to log anymore. You must clear the log in order for the Server Management controller to log any more events. Now depending on the OS installed there are different ways to clear it. If Windows Server 2k8 you would use this command - wevtutil el ' foreach { wevtutil cl $_ } Where with Server 2003 you can go tot he Event viewer and clear it. Let me know if this helps.

Please be more specific. You haven't actually asked a question. What are you trying to do? What happens that you aren't expecting?

You will have to get into the controlled setup in order to find out what the problem is, or you can simply hit ctrl-D and do the Dell disk diagnostics which will take an hour or more, but will give you an idea of where to start. Logically, if it won't boot, then your RAID is probably broken. it can sometimes be repaired through either the RAID or controller setup menu, which you can see during boot. go here, for the manuals and documentation on how to do that: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/poweredge-t105/manuals

what is your server model? in most cases you can use the operating disc to format the server drives

Go to start menu. click on 'control panel'. Select 'system and security". Then select 'system'. This should give you the info.
