An Amber blinking power button indicates a low voltage problem. This can be caused by a defective power supply or a defective motherboard.May also be caused by a defective card installed in the motherboard, i.e. video card.
Hi,
If the server is running Windows, you can usually enter safe mode by repeatedly pressing F8 after you press the power switch.
You can also get into the dell utility, which lets you run memory and system tests. To access this, follow the on screen directions during boot up.
you might want to check the power supply unit first, as it is very common for them to burn out and not supply the correct power to start up the server..
the 2nd thing i would do, is do a visual inspection of the motherboard , looking for any traces of burns, if any are found, replace the server.
yes you can do that but you need the drivers for the scsi interface. when you install windows xp (for example) i think you may have to press the f6 key on the installation to add these drivers.
dells power supplies must come from dell. I would call dell and give then the service tag number of your server and they will be able to tell you about how much a power supply is.
Hi, Most of the systems will not start back when the system shutdown happens due to some power conflicts. To resolve your issue, please follow the below steps: 1. Make sure that all the connections to your server is proper now. 2. Press and hold the system Power ON Switch in your server for more than 20 seconds continuously. 3. now release the power button and press it back gently once normally to start you machine. 4. In this way most of the system will be powered up.
Please follow the above steps and let me know your comments. If still the problem persists, then please provide some more information about the problem which you got in following the above steps as that will be useful to assist you back. Thanks
Hi, check if the drive is showing in the bios of the server, shut down the server, take out the power cable, press and hold the power button so as to realease flea power, open the server, and reseat the data cable at both ends and if there is another power cable available in the server swap it with the existing cable plugged into the scsi drive.
and now try to start your server. Further Queries are welcome
Hi satti73,
I need you to explain your problem a little more clearly.
I think you are saying that when you press the ON/OFF you get a display? What is the display that you get? How old is this machine? What other events have taken place leading up to this problem. Do you get and error messages on the monitor? DO you get any sort of sound emitting from the server when you press the ON/OFF butoon?
