Install another cd unit that is recognized by bios so you can install the software. Without that you can do nada!
If another known good player is used and it also is not recognized then you have an issue with your CMOS - not a good thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Won't turn on
The first thing I would check would be the power supply.
Where is power supply unit located & how do you check it
Is there a power-cord connecting from an electrical outlet to some socket on the computer? If so, then the "female" end of the power-cord connects to the external "socket" of the power-supply.
Open the computer, and trace the "inside" of that "socket", where it connects to the power-supply.

Assuming this is still an issue...old as it is...
You need to boot the server and press the correct prompt to enter the BIOS of your PERC RAID controller. There you need to manage your physical/logical volumes.
Chances are that either you had a drive failure or the metadata on your RAID volume (JBOD?) was corrupted. This is a common issue with these LSI-based PERC[5-6]i RAID controllers that Dell utilized.

http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/KCS/KcsArticles/Print?he Embedded System Management (ESM) log - also called System Event Log (SEL) or hardware log - reports potential hardware problems in Dell PowerEdge servers. Sometimes, simply turning off the server and disconnecting it from the electrical outlet will remove the error message. Wait approximately 10 seconds, and then reconnect the power cable and restart the server.
Other times, you will need to clear the ESM log to remove the error message. For instance, error code SEL FULLindicates that you will need to clear the ESM log. (You will lose the server's event history.) There are different ways to clear the ESM log.

I have a blue vertical flashing light showing just
Great thanks,
That's just a system indicator flash. Solid blue means on and normal, blinking means someone either turned on the system indicator in the management software or bumped the indicator switch on the back of the server. This was designed to make easier transitions from back to front when working with multiple servers in a rack. To turn the indicator off, just go to the back of the server and find the Ethernet and usb ports that are together. If the usb is the bottom and Ethernet port is the top then just to the right you should see a small blue blinking light and a button, pushing the button wil turn the blinking off.
Again, no worries this is just a "locator beacon" not an error message, if the light ever blinks yellow then you have an issue.
Hope this helps FixYa,
Chris
