Hi guys,
I wanted to reinstall a R710 so that we can use it again in our DC, and i saw that the firmware was a bit out of date (a lot actually).
So generated a bootable iso with the repository manager and let it ran on the server. It updated a few items (one of which was the BIOS) and they were all OK.
At the end it said that the program was going to turn the server off and that it should turn back on again after a few seconds, but it never turned off... I turned it off myself after 15 minutes and turned it back on, The fans start blowing out loud and then get quiet (as they should). The LCD display on the front first says Booting (or something like that) and then changes to the custom message that i've put in earlier.
And that's it.. The server hangs and I can't access it. No screen, no keyboard.
The Drac is working and says that everything is OK. The bios firmware version is 1.2.6. The Virtual console also says "No signal". There are no events in the drac that would suggest something is wrong.
What can I do to fix this? I need this server :(
