My PowerEdge SC440 would not boot the other day. I unplugged the power cord and pressed the power button to clear any possible memory errors. After reconnecting the power and pressing the power button, the computer POSTed and displayed the 2 and 3 error lites indicating a HDD failure. I then pressed and held the power button to turn off the computer. I then troubleshot the drives. When I next turned on the computer, it would not POST, the power button lite was steady amber and all fans were running full blast. I could not turn off the server using the power button and had to unplug the power supply in order to turn off the computer. I opened the access panel, reseated all HHD cables, power supply cables, RAM modules, etc., plugged the power supply power cable in and the system immediate started running with the same symptoms as before. I was able to determine that the lite at 2A2 on the motherboard was lit steady amber. I have no idea what that means. Anyone have any ideas about what is wrong and how to solve it?
