I'm having some trouble with
You are not too clear, however I'll take a guess ..
1) Booting from CD ... older CD drives fitted to PE26xx range do not recognize Windows 2003 bootable install CD's .. the TS-L462C (a laptop drive) should be compatible with the PE 2650 (I know it works in my 2600)
2) Installing the Operating System onto the PERC SCSI Array drives .. a total pain .. with older OS (Windows 2000) you can use the 4 x floppy disk set to install and hit (F6 ? as I recall) to tell it to 'load a 3rd party driver' ... get the PERC drivers from the Dell site.
Alternative = toss the useless Tape Drive and install a set of SATA drives in the same space (a 3 drive Hot Swap caddy eclosure will fit = Icy Box or StarTech) .. you will need a PCI RAID card (such as Si3124) since the M'Bd has nothing but a combined floppy/TapeDrive IDE interfafce.
3) Finally, be aware that this is a SERVER level box .. spare parts & Dell 'official' upgrades are going to cost you an arm & a leg = and don't even ask what the special 'ECC parity' Memory sticks cost :-)
STRIKE f1 ERROR
Please be more specific. You haven't actually asked a question. What are you trying to do? What happens that you aren't expecting?
Power is 2950 i912 sel full
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.

Is it in a 1, 3, 2 beep pattern (beep....beep, beep, beep........beep, beep)? If so, the memory is either not seated well or may be bad. Try reseating your memory. If it continues, try with one stick at a time just to see if it will boot up with a display.Thanks,--Brian

My poweredge 830 powers on but no signal to monitor
Step 1:
First open look on the back off your pc and see if you have an onboard video card (closer to the power supply and pointed up and down or one much lower down towards the last two-thirds off the case....Step 2:
If you have an onboard I would think it's toast but if you have a seperate video card swap it out for another one and if that don't work I would guess it's your motherboard.....
