Hi,
Maybe a desperate move to seek help here since the official support.dell.com has nothing about a Dell PowerEdge 6005 server. This is a -most likely- custom made server for a customer. It has 3-nodes of a Tyan S8208 motherboard. Two AMD2419EE cpus on each node. IPMI reports "DCS6005" as the FRU and a service tag that's not recognized by Dell.
Well, one of the nodes sends a continuous 'beep' when it powers on. No VGA console or IPMI console over LAN. So, I have no clue what might be wrong. Maybe a reset of the BIOS settings? (how?) Maybe re-flashing the BIOS? (how? I have no console!)
to cut a long story short, I'm helpless without proper documentation for *THIS* specific implementation.
Tyan re-directed me to Dell for manuals... But Dell doesn't post anything for this server (it does not exist :))
BIOS is AMI 1.09 and the management firmware is 1.03 (MegaRAC - Aster).
If anyone had the pleasure of finding any support documentation on how to bring these things back to life (or flash a new BIOS/firmware - if it ever existed). Please share. You'll do good :)
Thank you,
Thanos
