open the system and remove the ram clean the ram pins with an eraser and fix back. check if it works. normally this happens due to ram connection or bad ram which needs replacement
I had exactly the same issue, its basically your iDrac card thats likely at fault. I simply removed mine and the server would boot as expected. If you require the iDrac then order a new card and this should solve your issue.
The only suggestion I would have is to pop the liod off and plug in a video card (I know its a 1u unit, but keep the lid off - this is just to test. If the vid card you popped in gives an output then onboard is shafted, with a 1u, not much can be done apart from new mainboard... or just remote desktop from another machine if it boots?
Was it configured to try to boot from 'A:' ?
Disconnect the hard-drive & CD/DVD drives.
Put a diskette into the drive, and see if it tries to find a boot-record on the diskette.
If it tries, then it has P.O.S.T.'d correctly.
> no beep codes
When it worked, did it beep _once_ when P.O.S.T. completed?
Taking out the RAM _should_ cause some beep codes, i.e., "no RAM".
> anyone?
Replace the monitor?
Replace a dead video-card?
Or, add-in a video-card, and connect a monitor to it, leaving the original monitor connected to the original video-card. One of the two displays should show the P.O.S.T.
