I have recently got a Dell R710 shipped to my place.
The power is turning on, Memory configured properly. But when it loads into the splash screen, it's stuck!!
Keyboard lights won't turn on, no response is given.
↑ This is the stuck position (exact progress).
I have tried
a) removing all hard drives, external USB.
b) Just put 1 2GB RAM in slot A1
c) Running with just one CPU (CPU swapped to ensure not faulty)
d) Remove Raid Card
e) Reset Bios and Raid Card through removing the battery for 10 mins
f) Use the jumper to clear VRAM
DRAC can be loaded, but it is a used server... Which the previous owner did not reset the password... Not getting through the splash screen also means no reset of DRAC password can be made Orz
Searched on Google and found someone having the save issue as me. He figured it out by doing a factory reset through DRAC. Will there be anyway to do a Hard Factory reset or DRAC reset? Or other suggestion on what may cause the problem will help.
Many thanks X_X
If it is a faulty machine... Then I will consider firing a dispute T_T
