A few days ago.. for 50 bucks I got a Dell Poweredge 1850.. for 50 bucks. Its a really old server. When we got it, the seller was showing it working fine with a monitor before we picked it up. I believe on the HDD bay a light is supposed to show, and a blue light is supposed to flash blue without any on/off repeats, just steady light.. from what I have seen on youtube. It has 2 PSU's... for redundancy. Plugging in one should be just fine, I don't have a spare nearby outlet near the testing area to plug both at once. Problem is... when I plug it in(the fan is meant to spin when it's off, just the psu fan or fan's thats plugged in) the psu fan spins like its meant to. Thing is, a blue light that is meant to be steady on doesn't stay on steady. Also, some light that shows a pic of what looks like a battery as if it was on a laptop palmrest. But that shows a orange light for 3 seconds. When I power it on, all the fans spin, and the powerlight is on. I hear the HDD, but there is no HDD light. Also, I have a 50 foot ethernet cord going to it.. but idk if it has the drivers for it yet, I plan on reinstalling the OS to somthing that supports the drivers. But I have a 50 foot ethernet cord going to it just in case. So the blue light with a I symbol next to it. I have to press the button next to it for the light to show.. but when I do that, the light blinks for 1 second on, 1 second off.. and that repeats. I have a working monitor plugged into it.. this is the second monitor I have tested with it. On both VGA outputs(Well one of the monitors are huge and heavy, and it fell the other day, but still powers). Those are some unusual things, and the server doesn't show on the display. When we brought it, the seller had it running with a display working. I have opened it.. but that shouldn't be a issue. Idk whats going on, please help me! This vid isn't made by me, but heres a vid I found of some poweredge 1850's starting up.https://www.youtube....h?v=nahbn9iZ3Ks
